last friday i listed my top five high energy songs we do at north point. truth is, if all we ever sang were songs that were loud and powerful and rocked, i would be a happy guy. it’s probably good i don’t plan the worship services anymore!
in spite of my personal preference for explosion, i still do have a whole list of mid-tempo songs that move me. here are some of my favorites that didn’t make my top five (in no particular order):
He Was There
Wholly Yours
O For a Thousand Tongues
Better is One Day
Step By Step
I Commit To You My Life
Blessed Assurance
Open The Eyes of My Heart
Take My Life
I Could Sing of Your Love Forever
those are all great songs…some of them you’ve probably never heard of, but we used to do them here and they were part of the foundation of our worship personality that has been forged through our years together. so here’s my top five mid-tempo songs we do at north point:
5. Love is Here – by Tenth Avenue North (awesome new song we are doing these days)
4. Give Us Clean Hands – by Charlie Hall (best single musical moment in any song we do…)
3. Enough – by Chris Tomlin (my second favorite tomlin song)
2. Remedy – by Crowder (this song gave me a whole new perspective on the atonement)
1. Breathe Deep – by the Lost Dogs
you may be surprised by my number one, but this is one song that god used to completely re-orient my life as a follower of christ. it’s a long story. maybe i’ll share it someday. it was a song we used in youth ministry from the moment i arrived in 1995. maybe i’ll ask buzzy if i can lead it again someday for posterity…
if you’ve never heard it, here’s a video you can watch…they’re pretty crazy lyrics. the lost dogs are a group of legendary rockers from the earliest days of christian rock and punk. here’s their official website…you might want to check it out: the lost dogs. hope you like it all!
