I so love this song!!!!!!

Okay so now that I've listened to the whole thing (I typed that first line after the first minute), I'll say that these folks are bold. :)

Wow. So true.
Maybe I could have the team learn this song...
We already do a few different Michael Gungor songs, so what's one more?  ;D

Dave, how would you incorporate that into a worship service? (Transl: at what part in the service would you have them sing it?)

Gungor is one of my absolute favorites. I almost tear up everytime I listen to the "Beautiful Things" CD. The stuff is so unique, yet so beautiful. I listen to it before bed and it just puts me at peace.

Dave, how would you incorporate that into a worship service? (Transl: at what part in the service would you have them sing it?)


I don't know about this particular song, but here's how one church incorporated one of Gungor's other songs (this is not Gungor singing, though). It's 9 minutes, but the meat is in the first 5 minutes.

Well, I'd probably have to get pastoral approval before I brought it into a Sunday morning service, which means that it probably wouldn't happen...but if it would, I could imagine incorporating some live drama with the music, demonstrating some of the depictions and themes on the video. The right visuals along with the song would be powerful when done live, I think. Probably cause a lot of traditionalists to freak out and leave...  ;D

During P&W or some other part of the service?

Probably another part of the service, as it's not so much a worship TO God song. It more speaks truths about God and might be great to go along with a sermon or series on the nature of God and our misconceptions about "Him".  ;)

Yes it does.
