“Glory to Jesus for taking our place

“His dying breath has brought me life

“More than I could ask or seek
More than I could fathom
God Your love for me
Is better than I imagined…”

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood
Nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood

Entering into the summer months can be a mixed bag for worship leaders. On one hand, the craziness of Easter has worn off and a more relaxing pace can be sustained from week to week. On the other hand, half of your volunteers are on vacation, the high school student that’s a prodigy on drums has gone to summer camp, and you’re left trying to recruit volunteers from other ministries in the church (sorry children’s ministry, we need Ms. Sandy to rock out on keys for a week or two). Not all is lost though! Here are some ideas to keep your sanity in the midst of the summer slump many worship leaders experience.

What a beautiful reality that “The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” (Ps. 145:18, ESV) We are encouraged and told to “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” (James 4:8) The song, “Heaven Fall” by Cody Carnes (written by Cody, Matt Hammitt & Seth Mosley) has us do just that. There is nothing like the presence of the Lord…As the psalmist said, “In Your presence there is fullness of joy.” (Ps. 16:11)
