How is this program different than the other kid’s program? It has all Christ-centered worship songs. The only song in common is ‘This Little Light of Mine.’
There are several references to feasts and banquets in Scripture. One of my favorite parties, this side of heaven, is a Worship Party. I’ve hosted two kinds of worship parties: one where I and friends lead worship and one for guitar students to lead worship.
For the personal parties, we start with a potluck dinner, then end the evening with worship and prayer. I like potlucks because if doesn’t matter if 7 people show or 50 people. There’s always enough food.
Sometimes I print up some of the words to songs so quests unfamiliar with the lyrics can sing along. Every party is different. Several of us participate in leading worship. We take turns leading songs and sharing original songs too.
King Asa started our so well. In 1 Kings 15:11 it says: ‘Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.’ Most of the good Kings in the Old Testament that were good, fell short of King David’s standard.
Scripture then tells us of how King Asa removed false idols and fervently followed the LORD. In 2 Chronicles 14, a vast army came against them. It says in verses 9 – 11:
"Zerah the Cushite marched out against them with a vast army and three hundred chariots, and came as far as Mareshah. Asa went out to meet him, and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. O LORD, you are our God; do not let man prevail against you.""
When this blog was first launched, you guys helped me name this song. It’s now one of the songs I’m teaching in Worship Guitar Class DVD 4. Most of the songs in the series are familiar worship songs. In DVD 3, I introduced one of my songs called ‘Gentle Rain.’ It was so precious when a number of you emailed me that it was your favorite song on the DVD and how much you enjoyed playing it!
DVD 4 has 3 of my songs. It also has ‘Open the eyes of my Heart,’ "At the Cross,’ and ‘Shout to the Lord.’ All great songs! What a Great God we have! It says in Scripture that there aren’t enough books in the world to contain all the works that Jesus did. Well, there aren’t enough songs to clearly express how Wonderful and Holy our God is.
I suspect, we will continue to sing new songs in His presence when we are in our Real Home. Meanwhile, we can try to express His Love with the finite minds we have. Hope you are writing new songs too. It’s one way we can try to express our gratitude to Him.
