Attributes of God in a Song

By Leave a Comment

Every day I’m struck with awe at God’s hand in creation. Even this morning, walking in the neighborhood, I saw a woman with a standard size white poodle and started thinking of all the variety of dogs He has made!

Years ago, we had a toy poodle. A toy is the smallest variety of poodle. We got him as a puppy and he used to fit in my coat pocket. So cute.

How about horses? Each type of animal God has created is filled with variety and beauty!

I’m going to be hosting another worship song contest in September. The theme this year is expressing attributes of God. It can be about what He has created, how immense is His Love, how wonderful His grace or anything that focuses on God. It can be either to Him or about Him. [Read more…]

Instrument of Praise by Jean Welles

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.

Worship Contest 2007

By 2 Comments

This March I’m hosting another Worship Contest. In fact a few songs have already come in. The categories have been expanded to include songs of other languages, if they send us an English translation.

The theme is quite special for this contest. The most important holiday for Christians is in April. Some call it Easter Sunday or other’s prefer to call it Resurrection Sunday. Paul, in Scriptures, said that if Jesus didn’t raise from the dead our faith is useless. Well, the grave was empty and 12 men died unpleasant deaths because they wouldn’t stop proclaiming that they saw Him!

This March, I encourage you and your family and friends to write a worship song on the theme of the cross and/or resurrection of Christ. John has written some articles on this blog, see ‘Pages’ on the left-hand side, teaching you how to record to a PC and turn that recording into an mp3 file. Several of you have also written comments of other free software to use as well.

All the details for the contest are at worshipguitarclass.com/contest.html
