So today I got the privilege of leading at my dad’s church up in Jefferson GA. He was out in South Carolina officiating a wedding. My brother, Jon, and I traveled up for a whirlwind tagteam substitution. Jon brought the Word. I love it when you can just show up at a church have a few minutes of rehearsal and everything just falls into place. GREAT worship team!!

1) Just Like David (R. Hutto original):
Key Em/G. This is a tune I wrote many years ago. It was a pleasure to lead it with a new worship team, and also an honor to know that after so many years they are still singing and playing it.

2) Mighty God (H. Ousley):
Key G. Love this song. My favorite arrangement is off the Trail of Altars CD.

3) Revelation Song:
Key C. I love this one. I capo 3 and play in A. I’d like to share my “stylings” on this one this week. Might give it a little freshness if you’ve done this one and your people love it, but you’re tired of it. My sister, Stacie Wilson, led out on it and did a wonderful job!

4) How Great Is Our God:
Key G. Easy arrangement. Great song. Always love this one. I’ve probably only led this one a handful of times in my WL career, and every time I really enjoy it.

Other Worship Leaders share their setlists and Sunday gathering experiences.

Today I loaded boxes onto a truck. And I loved every minute of it. Thanking Jesus that He opens and closes doors!

Great day today. Everything went smoothly and I didn’t cry. :)

Last day (over 3 years serving at HOJ) of official “on staff” worshiping with this great crew!

1) Today Is The Day (Brewster, Baloche): Key Bb. Standard arrangement. Tweaked the bridge a little bit to give it an almost Sugar Ray meets retro beatles vibe. I liked it.

2) Blessed Be Your Name (Redman): Key G. Cortni rocked this one today, she’s one of our newer lead vocals, and does an amazing job on this song!

3) I Know Who I Am (Houghton, Tomlin): Key A. Ros led this one and was great as usual. I jumped it on the lead vocal for the bridge. This is such a great song with great lyrics.

Next to last week leading at HOJ. Kind of weird! That means next week is my last. Definitely weird! But we’re excited to be moving on to the next chapter of our lives.

The band was awesome today, the singers (all 6 of them!) were on, and there was just a great energy in the room.

1) Shackles (Mary Mary): Key Em. You’ve seen this one on our setlist quite a bit. It doesn’t seem to get old when we do this. We do “freshen” it up every few months by adding different elements here and there. This version has an added sing-rappy bridge tag in it that we also end with.

2) Revelation Song (Riddle): Key C. Mixed this one up (again) and came away with a pretty decent rocked version.

3) One Way Crazy Train Remix (Houston): Key F#m. We did this one a few weeks back. Everyone loved it, so we did it again.

Thanks to Jonathan Chick of Clarus Photography for snapping these great photos (on short notice and in a limited time frame)! Had a blast playing drums for House of Joy Sunday, and I hope these pics convey some of the energy that we worship with!
