In a previous article on worship leading I have spoken about the praise section of church worship, so now I would like to turn my attention to my fave part of worship leading, the worship part of the service.

This to me is where the "rubber hits the road," because this is the time I adore most, getting up and private and private with the Lord.

Of course, you can worship anywhere, any time, without singing or music, but that's not the point here. I need to look at the kinds of songs you can use when worship leading this part of the meeting. As an element of my worship leading training manual, I teach on the sorts of songs, and where you should be going with the general tone of the service at that point. I have tons of truly helpful material which you can access in the worship leading training course, but here is a little few solely to get you thinking…

Worship: My favourite part of worship is the deep stuff, the quiet stuff, the times of intimacy with God. And as the tune announces, let's get back to the center of worship : it's all about You, Jesus! Concerning worship I would make the following suggestions:

For proposals of how to try this, see the chapters on style and modulation. Think about the flow of the Spirit, feel it and follow the number one of the Spirit. That way you may really have an anointed worship time.

b ) Let the tunes progress :

Songs with I/Me in them are not only private but permit the people to retort to the Lord and open their hearts to Him. This should lead on to the ultimate goal of deep worship. You should be aiming to flow from one song to the subsequent easily, as you gently lead folks into a deep experience with the Lord.

c ) Let the songs progress : High Worship or
Many hymns are fantastic for this. Unfortunately, there are few modern worship songs that are like this. Michael W. Smith's beautiful worship hymn "Agnus Dei" is a great song for high praise.

4. Open or Free Worship : For some this is terribly frightful, while for others absolutely natural. God, being a creative God, loves it when we present to Him a spontaneous song from the heart, just as we oldsters like to hear the songs our children make up.

This style of worship leading is not everyone's cup of tea, and neither is it for each church, but the Lord may just do this one day and surprise you! Let's be open, but not force it. Through the years I have seen some sensational examples of Open worship, and some remarkable abuses of it. I have devoted a whole chapter to this area later in the book.

Finally, Iif you really need to explore the art of worship leading, please consider obtaining my worship leading training manual. I guarantee it will transform your worship leading experience and help you progress to become the worship leader you long to be!
