Charlie Hall new CD is pretty cool

I went to the CD release show for Charlie Halls new CD: The Bright Sadness. He is an amazing worship leader and song writer. Some of his songs are really simple lyrically but they speak tons of truth through such few words such as the song, "Mystery". The song is great for a communion setting. The worship/concert/service was in an old Methodist church in downtown Charlotte. Charlotte One, a young adults organization, put it on. Charlie even brought back some oldies but goodies such as Give us Clean Hands and I guess Center now. By the way I can just call him Charlie because we are best friends. Not really but he makes you feel like that when he talks to the audience. I thought I was random. Anyway here are the lyrics to the song "Mystery". Enjoy


Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity
Bread of heaven, broken for me
Cup of salvation held up to drink
Jesus the Mystery

Christ has die and
Christ is risen,
and Christ will come again

Sweet Jesus Christ my sanity
Sweet Jesus Christ my clarity
Bread of heaven broken for me
Cup of salvation held up to drink
Jesus the Mystery

Christ has die and
Christ is risen,
and Christ will come again

Celebrate his death and rising
Lift your eyes, proclaim his come
Celebrate his death and rising
Lift you eyes, lift your eyes

Here is a video sample of the song:

Worship Set-23rd (80's flash back)

Well, this sunday was awesome. It was like a flash from the 80's because we covered Huey Lewis and the News , "This is it". The song has nothing to do with spirituality in any context but it does have the title of our new teaching series "IT". We pulled the song off perfect because some of my band members are still leaving in the 80's. Thats ok. Also, we had our 3rd baptism service this year and we have 12 people baptized in Christ. I will post some of those pics later. Anyway here are the songs we did this Sunday.
