This past week Jeremy (by the way you should be reading his blog, it is good stuff) asked me to play percussion on Saturday night since he could find an available drummer for the service. Obviously, I agreed (or I would not be writing this) and went to practice with the team Thursday night. Practice went well, had a few sound issues but it gave me the opportunity to familiarize myself with the songs and how we were going to play them. Since the team was playing with a drummer (who is pretty darn incredible) on Sunday, that was how they practiced I just sort of did my own thing. On Saturday we got together to practice without the drummer and I was a little nervous. The team had keys, bass, electric guitar, rhythm guitar, and three vocalists. That is a lot to carry with just a percussionist. After the practice I was feeling a little better. As the service began I decided to leave it in God’s hands, he could do with it as he pleased. As always that turned out to be the best decision I could have made. In my opinion the set was not lacking anything because there was not a drummer. God took care of some things. So here is the set:
Hosanna - Paul Baloche and Brenton Brown
At The Cross - Daniel Renstrom
I Am Free - Jon Egan
Our Great God - Fernando Ortega and Mac Powell
You Never Let Go - Beth Redman and Matt Redman
Wonderful Maker - Matt Redman and Chris Tomlin

nice.
