Better Is One Day The text of this song is taken primarily from Psalm 84. Spend some time reading and meditating on Psalm 84. Charles Spurgeon calls this psalm "one of the choicest of the collection" of psalms. It is definitely one of the most beautiful and sweet…
The Everlasting God When the words of Isaiah 40 were first written, Israel was in exile, punished for abandoning her first love, and scattered across the lands of the middle east. Her temple destroyed, Her people conquered in warfare and then enslaved or forced to live…
Worship as Radical Amazement For the past several weeks I have been working as a pastor alongside a close friend and fellow worship leader Chris Tomlin. They are presently recording their next worship project. Like any other songwriter or lead worshipper, Chris wants songs that…
Ascribe to the Lord I didn't much care for Sunday school when I was a young child as the 1960s came to a close. I'd rather been outside playing ball. Back in those days they didn't have VeggieTales, high-tech kids services or lifelike puppets teaching principles of…

THE PAUL AND SILAS APPROACH ...about midnight paul and silas prayed and sang hymns to God.. and the other prisoners were listening to them. When I was leading worship in Rockford, Il, I, like most of us worship leaders, found myself leading for several services a week,…
Love is bigger than oceans, Love is given to me Paul's prayer for the Ephesian Christians in chapter 3:17-19 was that they would grasp the magnitude of God's love. For centuries we have tried to describe the vastness of that love - in song, in art, in literature. Occasionally, we witness an act…
Hosanna Hosanna is one of my favourite worship words. It started out it's life meaning 'save us God'. But by the time we see it used in Matthew 21 it has come to mean 'praise you God'. Paul and I tried to get those two meanings into the chorus... 'you are…
