A couple of songs that we have been getting on recently.
At church we have played a few times this simple tune which a couple of our team picked up at a World Trumpet Mission (our affiliate church network, as it were): Set A Fire. A very simple song, with two refrains, which can be repeated round and round; we've used it in the latter part of worship,where we have broken through already. "There's no place I'd rather be, than in here in Your love" comes as a response to God after He has responded to our worship by drawing close to us. Then "Set A Fire Down In My Soul, cos I Want More Of You" expresses our plea: to be set alight with a passion for God, for holiness, for righteousness. Every time we've played the song there's been a real sense of anointing. Musically it's really simple, with the rhythm from acoustic guitar backed up with either the congas or a simple phrase on the snare drum with snares off, with simple kick and hi-hat pedal. Great great song, my song of the now.
The other song we've (Stel and I, that is) been enjoying is I Worship You, a performance by Travis Cottrell. We sang this at the church prayer meeting once or twice; again very simple, repetitions of a phrase, this version uses key-changes and musical build, and especially the choir; the building soaring music encourages a similar response in the worshipper: as the truths we sing further penetrate us, our declaration in praise grows firmer.
So two simple songs that carry a lot of anointing. Enjoy.
