Worship Ministry Catalyst

“I” Songs Vs. “Global” Songs “I’ll stand, my soul, Lord, to You surrendered.” “I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it.” Have you ever struggled with singing that line of “Heart of Worship”? Maybe you don’t feel like you’ve made it something it’s not supposed to be, but here you are in a corporate setting being forced to sing those words. Or maybe you don’t feel like your soul is completely surrendered to God, but if you don’t sing… In this episode of the Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast, David & Kevin talk about the difference singing personal, “I” songs in a corporate worship setting and singing songs that have a more global theme and approach to them.

Let’s talk about it and see. Why don’t you chime in?

You’ve been there. You work for weeks on a big Christmas production, Easter production or even just a big weekend service. You and a team of volunteers pour hours into the service, you work your hearts out, play your hearts out on the day of and then comes the feedback: “I couldn’t hear the vocalists” or “The drums were too loud” or “There was a guitar playing?” And your heart sinks. All that work for nothing. Yeah, God knows your heart was in the right place, but if people couldn’t hear it or experience it in the right way, then what was the point.
