Looking For Some Of The Old Songs. (20 years ago)
Well we had a few lead singers leave a few months ago and a month ago the pastor took another church and his wife was the music talent that we leaned on most so we are now left with a skeleton crew.
I have pretty much taken over the music here and we are starting to come together pretty well. They Lord has certainly blessed and the past few weeks have just been great.
My strategy at this point is to compile a good list of fast & slow songs that are familiar to my 2 main musicians so that we can have a good list of songs that we are comfortable with to pull from during the services. I sang with both of these ladies as musicians some 15-20 years ago so we have worked together before but it was a good while back. So there is a working relationship there... at least in the realm of late 1980's/early 1990's apostolic worship music.
I am going to post my list of songs here so you can see what era most of these songs are from with hopes that some of you will remember other great songs from that time frame that we can practice and add to the list.
All of the songs below have been practiced and we have an established key for each one so that we can draw from these lists during the services but I would like to expand it quite a bit from here so we will have greater flexibility.
We are beginning to work in some newer songs. My daughter plays the keyboard. She does great but she is very new at this and she can't just "jump and run" with a song. She can play a song pretty well but it will require a good practice to get there. So, a little at a time, we are adding new songs.
But... for now... we are just trying to get a good song base to work from so that we can be functional and responsive to the move of the Spirit in the services.
Fast songs we have so far...

Bless That Wonderful Name
Can't Nobody Do Me Like Jesus

We do need some more fast ones and some more slow ones but our list of slow songs is what we REALLY need to add to because I find myself not finding that "right one" on the list sometimes. The Lord is good and brings something to mind or I feel some words come to mind and make it up as we go. But I would like to have a lot more breadth to the list of slow songs.
Any help you guys would be able to offer in expanding my list would be greatly appreciated.
