For the music part of the worship for this Palm Sunday, we started out with "Hosanna (Praise is Rising)" by Paul Baloche and Brenton Brown, and after the welcome, we opened back up with the pre-chorus of "Marvelous Light" by Charlie Hall, and then moved into "Salvation is Here" by Joel Houston. It was awesome moving from "Sin has lost its power/ Death has lost its sting/ From the grave You've risen/ Victoriously!" into "Salvation is Here." It had a lot of energy and was a powerful time. From that, we moved into "Jesus Paid It All" with the additional chorus by Alex Nifong. I don't think it's possible to go wrong with that song. When God's people get together and declare, "Oh praise the One who paid my debt/ and raised this life up from the dead!"
For the invitation time, we did one of my favorite hymns, "Just As I Am." It never gets old for me.
As usual, I wish we had more time, but we had to leave enough time for the response we believed would come as a result of Bailey Smith's preaching. God is faithful, and moved in a big way. I pray that God will use this week to to transform our church.
