These are what you want if you're a guitarist
or otherwise need your hands free to play as they have the chords and words only.
They're also useful if you're a vocalist who wants all the words on one page.
I thought I'd post some MP3's of
the songs we're learning for you to listen to and get even more familiar with.
I don't guarantee that these are the exact arrangements or keys we're doing, but once
you get the melody, everything else is easy.
Some of these are studio, some are live, some are from actual church praise bands.
I'll add more as our library increases, but I think I got the five we're doing this weekend at least.
Technical jargon alert!
I've encoded these down quite a bit to keep them
around 2 megabytes each. So while they're not CD quality, they sound just fine for practicing.
I didn't bother with these (yet) since everyone knows them (I think).
Lord I Lift Your Name on High
He Has Made Me Glad
Song Selection
It may surprise some people that I am a total numbers geek. Therefore, here's a list of all the songs we've ever performed, how many times we've done each one, and the most recent performance. This could help us determine if a certain song has "worn out its welcome" or if there's one we need to perform more.
Note:
This ONLY counts songs performed at the beginning of the service, not hymns or responses.
