PASSION: Part 3

Back to Passion. It's been like 2 weeks since PASSION: Part 2 about the cause we supported, and PASSION: Part 1 about the speakers. So what's left?

The worship.

[Working Title]

Zdravstvuyte! (Hello in Russian!)

I just got bored saying "hi!" to an audience that doesn't audibly hear me, so I wanted to mix it up. Anyway, I've been working for a few weeks on a song! As I've been doing more and more research on worship music, what it means, and its significance, I've found that writing worship songs can (and sometimes should) be a significant part of a worship leader's responsibility. This is important because as a leader, you are serving those specific people whom you are leading, and so in my situation as a college student with the privilege of leading other college students in worship, I have a different perspective from people Chris Tomlin or Joel Houston. I absolutely love singing the songs that they've written, and there is so much Truth out there in the contemporary Christian music scene, and its cool to have the opportunity to contribute a little bit to that. And sure I might not be as talented as them and I'm fine with that. But heck, I won't know until I try, right? I've decided to share with the blogosphere some of the lyrics I've written, and I would love to hear back from people and get your thoughts/opinions! Also, please don't like steal them and claim them as your own or anything. That would be really lame.

Some Thoughts on Worship Music

Hola amigos and amigas!!

Wow has school been busy. Currently I'm on Thanksgiving break and still have 2 final projects, a 10 page research paper, 2 speech assignments, and a sketchbook assignment to do. So, like, that's been fun. Anyway I'm in the middle of writing the research paper (which is about how the work of architect Walter Gropius helped in the development of the modernist style. Exciting, I know!!), and I had to take a break, and blogging sounded great to me!

Also, I recently found my iPod after losing it for about 3 weeks, so I've been playing it nonstop since. In the past couple years, I've been listening to worship music a lot more often than I used to (top 2 most played worship songs on my iPod probably being Hillsong and Elevation Worship). Anyway, there are a lot of reasons I choose to listen to songs like this. I still listen to secular music, actually quite a lot of it, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. But the point here is worship music. Worship music. Worship music. Man, I need to stop my habit of rambling. I'll just get off topic and keep talking about it and go on and on and on...

So, here's a few things about worship music that I think are awesome:
