Welcome to sojournmusic.com’s weekly worship music set list review. You can find links to the set lists of this church and many other churches each week in the Worship Blog Carnival at theworshipcommunity.com. And you can learn about some of the songs we sing at Sojourn Gathered each week in advance of the Sunday service by reading my “Getting Ready For Sunday” post each Thursday at Sojourn’s online journal, TravelBlog. This set list recap begins with the first song following the Call To Worship (our sets often begin with a pre-Call To Worship song that is “band leader’s choice,” and so is different in each campus). Some additional variations in the music sets may have taken place in each service/campus.
1. Your Blood Says Everything written by Billy Sommerville. This Vineyard worship song has been a regular at Sojourn Gathered services here in Louisville for several years. We opened with it on this “final Sunday” of our 3-week series on the book of Galatians. It’s a good reminder that the blood of Christ — not our own deeds — saves us. The Galatians needed to hear it, and we need to here it:
Hear the Word, spoken from the tree
Heaven broken open …
Your blood says everything
2. Satisfied In You written by Brian Eichelberger. The song confesses our utter dependence on God. He’s all we really have, which is excellent news since He’s all we really need:
You’re the one who made the waves
And Your Son went out to suffer in my place
And to show me that I’m safe
3. God Who Saves by Aaron Senseman. This is a fabulous song of assurance in our salvation, and praise to the God of that salvation:
There is truth in His body, raised that third day
There is joy in a stone rolled away
There is hope pouring out of the tomb where He lay
Pouring out, pouring over the grave
4. Sovereign Grace, O’er Sin Abounding hymn text written by John Kent; contemporary melody by Sandra McCracken. We sang this as our communion hymn of the week. These words were especially poignant as we filed forward in lines together to receive the bread and wine, following the final sermon in our Galatians series:
Heirs of God; joint-heirs with Jesus,
Long ere time its race begun;
To His name eternal praises;
O what wonders love has done!
One with Jesus, by eternal union one.
5. Great And Mighty written by Aaron Senseman and Kinley Lange. We’ve sung this in several different parts of our worship liturgy. The lyrics are useful as a call to worship, a song of adoration, a pre-cursor to the Passing of the Peace, and (as we used it here) as a song of praise and dedication following communion:
So in You I will rejoice
Make my life an offering
I’m enraptured by the mercies of my King
and I will sing …
6. We Are Changed written by Sojourn’s Neil Robins, Dave Moisan and Bobby Gilles (me). This song is a “reimagining” of the Isaac Watts Hymn 95 (“Not all the outward forms of earth”) . The band recorded it on Over The Grave: The Hymns Of Isaac Watts, Volume One. You can view the chord sheet for “We Are Changed” here at sojournmusic.com on our Over The Grave page.
Not any government on earth
No law that God has given
No will of man, no blood, no birth
Can raise a soul to heaven
The sovereign will of God alone
Declares the heirs of grace
Born in the image of His Son:
A chosen, holy race
My wife tells me everytime we sing “Satisfied in You” I need to find the chords online. I can’t find them anywhere. If you guys have them in a .pdf, I would greatly appreciate if you could email them to me, Thanks!
