Jesus Our Lord

Learning how to play Praise and Worship music is one thing many people choose to pursue when they begin playing music. This is a great way to learn how to play the guitar, or other instruments, since it allows you to concentrate your efforts on the chords, notes, and harmonies specific to Praise and Worship music. And if you love Praise and Worship, knowing how to play your favorite songs on the guitar this will only add to the fun.

The guitar is one the most versatile instruments in the world. The sound it make is both rhythmic and melodic, while at the same time it can be played with great enthusiasm and dynamics. If you decide to start out playing Praise and Worship on the guitar, you won’t be limited to just this style, as the guitar is so versatile that many people play everything from classical to jazz to rock music on it.

If you are interested in purchasing a guitar, make sure you are aware of the cost. You might want to start out with an inexpensive guitar as you learn how to play. Or, there is the choice of renting a guitar until you feel confident enough to go out and buy one for your home. This way you can be sure of the type of sound you are looking for.

When you take your first lesson, you will be amazed at the sounds that come from your instrument. You will feel confident and proud as you play your first song, no matter how simple it is. Within a few lessons you can start mastering the chords and scales common to all types of music. Playing any Praise and Worship song will be easy once you have the right tools.

Make sure you find the right resources that will teach you the basics of Praise and Worship music and music theory.

Praise and Worship music is often learned and shared simply through listening, which means it is important that you can easily play chords without the aid of sheet music.

I Will Call Out Your Name

[verse]
Faithful and true are You my Lord.
Never ending is your love and devotion.
In times of trouble You are near,
Always ready with Your saving hand of grace.
And when I need someone I can trust,
Lord you are my strength and shield.

[chorus]
I will call out Your name when I need a friend.
I will call out Your name when I need a friend in my life.

[bridge]
I lift my hands
In praise to you Lord
For all that You have done.

[repeat chorus]

“Let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the “stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 4:10-12

As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
Romans 9:33

Cornerstone - Jesus is the Rock

[VERSE]
True to the Word this Stone refused
by the builders was the Rock of Is-ra-el
So Don't pass by and ignore this Rock or
you will stumble trip and fall.

[CHORUS]
Cornerstone Cornerstone
Jesus is the Rock
Cornerstone Cornerstone
upon this Rock is love, sweet love.

[VERSE]
Be not ashamed don't run away
In your belief in the Rock of Israel
So don't pass by and ignore this Rock or
you will stumbe trip and fall

[BRIDGE]
Build on the Rock
Be firm in your faith
You will know the Lord

Heart of Worship
Welcome to heartofworship.com, our online resource for lead worshippers everywhere. Our vision through this website is to equip and encourage those involved in leading the people of God in worship through music. Heartofworship.com is all about ‘inside-out’ worship. A passion and reverence for God that burns on the inside, and cannot can’t help but express itself externally too. We’re into ‘excellence’ in worship leading, for sure. We’ve got video tutorials on playing various instruments in worship, a section on music theory, and a regular column for congregational song writers too. But ‘excellence’ in worship leading, although important, is not our starting point. The starting point for us here on heartofworship.com is ‘integrity’ in worship leading. We want to make sure that each of us lead worshippers are laying down some strong foundations in worship. We hope the mix of interviews, articles and bible-insights found on this website will go someway towards encouraging you in this. Edited by Matt Redman and Andrew Philip, heartofworship.com draws on the experience and insights of many seasoned church leaders and lead worshippers from around the world.

Passion For Your Name
Our little mission statement for this website is, “Resourcing the worship leader. Refreshing the worshipper.” We hope that this website can do both. Each month there will be a biblical insight into worship; unpacking the Scriptures on the subject. Alongside this there will be practical articles that hopefully will resource and challenge us as we all seek to grow in our gifting.  We are also keen to encourage songwriters. Each month there will be a new article on crafting and developing fresh songs. Additionally there will be a free song – a simple acoustic version, accompanied by sheet music.  Our heart at passionforyourname.com is for the local Church. Jesus said that he’d build his Church. We get to take part. Therefore in all that we do, we hope that it will be relevant to musicians, worship leaders and pastors who are ‘living it out’ in a local church.

Rev2:-4 (KJV) “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.”

God is absolutely wonderful. His Grace abounds! The thing to remember is he is faithful even when we are not. This song is directed toward the individual who has wandered off-track. Rather relying on the power available the them through God, they act on their own power. And the result of this action is disastrous. But eventually the believer must return to their first love or there will be serious consequences. This song is for the believer than needs a renew relationship with Jesus.

verse 1
Remember when that special day.
You took me in with open arms.
And at that time you promised me
That You would stay and never leave

chorus
Restore me, bring me back,
Return me to my first love
My first love, will never leave
My frist love, won't forsake me
My first love.

verse2
When I have gone and lost my way.
Trying to do things on my own
You are willing at any time
To take me in with open arms.

God provides for all our needs. Not only that; he desires to lavish in abundance the good things in life.

Everything I'll Ever Need
by John Pape Jr

[Verse 1]
In the morning when I open my eyes
And I see a brand new day
With the beauty of a new sunrise
painted across the sky
And oh so refeshing as this smile come on my face
when I realize that it's you who gives me life
and I thank you Lord

[Chorus]
For everything that I'll ever need
It comes from God
The might King
For He gives to me
Oh so lavishly
Everything that I'll ever need

[Verse 2]
In the evening when I lay down my head
And I think of all you've done
How you helped me face another day
and to give me the chance to say
I am alive always living by your grace
and every breath I beathe is because you give me breath
to praise you Lord

[Bridge]
You own the universe and all it contains
So you give and you give endlessly
according to your grace
according to your grace

Invariably, every praise and worship team member is a leader in some way or another. The worship leader then is a leader of leaders. People tend to put those in the limelight at a pedestal, having an expectation that they should be able to perform to their expectations.

What then are the qualities that a leader should aspire to possess to enable them function effectively.

1. Be a Prayerful Person

   This is one of the most challenging areas of any christian. The Devil who knows the power of prayer often puts many people in the place of non-prayer. The power of prayer cannot be overemphasised, sufficient to say the prayer life of any worship leader directly affects his ministry. The scriptures encourage us to pray without ceasing. Jesus himself who was the son of God, spend many nights in prayer. How much more should we pray?

2. Be Bold

   A worship and praise leader must be bold and courageous. Bold to encourage the congregation to embrace God and seek for new ways to praise him. Bold to encourage non traditional methods of worship like the use of dance in praise and worship, use of flags, introduce new songs,

3. Be creative

   Be creative in your worship. Let not words become words but mean them from your heart or spirit. many times after leading for a long period you may find that some words become pat words, words that you say without meaning, and you say them repeatedly, e.g “come & lift your hands“, “worship him” or “this is the day that the lord has made let us rejoice and be glad” yet your mind and heart are far from what you are saying. Ask the lord for a creative way of bringing the people to him.

4. Possess leadership attributes from Titus 1.6-9

   Have one spouse
   Be a man/woman of integrity
   Be hospitable
   Do not be a drunkard
   Not greedy for money
   Manage your family well
   Be just
   Have self control

5. Be a worshiper

   Worship God in private and in public. If you are not a worshipper you cannot lead people into the presence of God, you have not been there!. A worshiper is not necessarily a musician, but a person who loves to worship God and stay in his presence. God loves those who worship him in spirit and in truth( john 4:) He is seeking for them.

6. Have a basic understanding of music

   To lead in worship and praise songs or lyrics, one has to have a basic understanding of music or have an ear for music. It can be quite challenging to lead worship when tone deaf!

7. Pay attention to details

   This often is what separates mediocracy from excellence. Pay attention to details of your music, the notes, the way you arrange the lyrics, the song lists, the flow of the songs, the way different keys work either together or not, the way different musicians( your musicians) play the songs.  If you will talk between the songs, what will you say, how will you say it, when will you say it,your backup singers, how they move on stage, the dress code for the group.The difference this will bring to your leadership is simply amazing!

8. Listening to the Holy Spirit

   Many times in the services the praise and worship leader may stay long on a song but he already has lost the people. The annointing is not in the song, and he does not seem to sense or know it. He just goes on for another 5 mins singing the same song, while the congregation’s mind wander away and only come back when another song is sung. A good worship leader should pray and ask the Holy Spirit to let him know when the anointing is on a song, when to stay on a song, and when to move away from a song when to allow the people to lavish their worship on God without a song. The key here is being senistive to God

9. Ability to inspire

   Inspire your worship team and the congregation you are serving. In other words have an annointing. Where, when you lead, the glory and the presence of God comes down. When the anointing of God is upon you your words inspire both your team and the listeners. The ability to draw the presence of God into a service is the annointing.
