“Water Runs Dry” Boys II Men (uh huh, that’s the one!)
“I’ll Stand By You” Pretenders, as covered by Carrie Underwood

today was a good day. we actually don’t typically do a lot of “performed” music. our standard service is more heavy on the “participational” worship music. but we just had two songs that really served to sandwich the message well.

the boys ii men song was definitely a stretch for us stylistically, but it came off pretty well actually. acoustic guitar, bass, stripped down drumset and 4 voices. we took a risk, but people apparently appreciated it.

the carrie underwood song is a new highlight of my time at crosspointe. the soloist, heather, “blew it out the box” if you know what i’m saying. frank played dobro - the boy can play. and we had a guest violin player, frances, a schoolmate of one of our staff members girls. she flat out RAWKED! i was blown away. beautiful. first service, i actually choked back a tear as she played the big run at the end of the solo. every once in awhile when the technical and the emotional aspects of music come together in someone’s performance, it gets me. like food for the soul.
