with tears flowing and an overwhelming sense of God ’ s presence , peace , comfort , and assurances .
Yea , though I walk Through the valley Of the shadow of death I will fear no evil
Yea , though I walk Through the valley Of the shadow of death I will fear no evil
For You are with me You will comfort me You are with me You will comfort me This was my turning point . Those beautiful words , empowered by God , changed things for me , and I was assured that He was in control and would comfort me .
As worship leaders and church musicians , songs during worship need to become turning points , connecting us to our Creator , strengthening us , and revealing truth .
The notion of worship team leaders downloading lead sheets nationwide on Saturday night for a Sunday morning setlist is cringeworthy . Song lyrics that are God-breathed are incredibly powerful . Inspired songs have a job to do , and their thoughtful selection is one of the key roles of a worship leader . Song selection for worship is not only a craft , but a sacred responsibility . God be with each , and every worship leader and team member reading this .
