dhag, thats the joint. when i first started playing that was one song i just wanted to get on. but the choir never rehearsed it and with learning all the other stuff i never got around to it. and one sunday the choir sang it (but i was in the office doing the finances and when theres no rehearsal for a long time im hesitant to leave and play) but they sang that and it was powerful, better than they had done with that song in a while. i was kinda upset that i didnt get to put it down. (matter of fact, thats goin on my mp3 player tonight in preparation for next time)
que, i totally feel you. not to many people can handle true worship music. i think because those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (which is absent from some musicians). i like the praise stuff and all but i really get down on those worship songs (not the ones they sing like we at a funeral) but the ones that really speak. because im not just playing the song. for me, im trying to worship him with my bass. you know like if He was to come back for me right then and i'd get ready to put it down, He's say "no, bring that with you" LOL.
another song that really does that is Kurt Carr's "God Blocked It". powerful, especially when they go into the reprise. at that point you'll be wantin to play so bad u'll grab anything with strings and ur hands are just going with tears comin down ur face
as for this sunday, my bass was soundin horrible. i wasnt sure, but after i was checkin everything on my amp, i figured the only thing left that it might be was the battery (it actually was, not sure why because it was soundin just fine saturday night) and i had went to the store and got one, but since i had to usher, i didnt get a chance to change the battery before service started. so i played like that but since the spirit was moving when the choir sang, i couldnt stop to swap the battery then either. not that you should go for that, but the Lord can move even with the most horrible bass tone.
