I've been asked if I wanted to sing a song during the morning services at my church in September. The nice thing is that I could choose any song that I want to sing. That's pretty exciting. I was told that the pastor will be in Corinthians at about that time but I don't necessarily have to choose a song that's entwined with his sermon; just something that I'm passionate about singing.
Songs that came in mind were by Ginny Owens. I've always liked her songs, mostly her old ones cause I haven't heard much of her new ones, but her singing range is something I could sing and she kinda has a blues feel in some of her songs so that's what attracted me to her. I added some Ginny Owens songs in my playlist below if you want to listen.
Another song that came in mind was a spanish song. I don't know how well that will go down with the music pastor but I'm sure it will be fine. The spanish spoken is actually very easy to understand cause it's repeated a lot. And it's not like a simple translation can't be put up on the screen. It's called "Con Mis Manos". I fell in love with this song when I first heard it at Urbana 2006. I've sang it a couple of times in college when I helped sang on the worship team. It's a very short song but sounds very beautiful. Whatever song I pick, the worship band may or may not play, but if there was a song the band could play, this one would be great if they did.
I'm sure if I sing this song, some people will come up to me after wards and start speaking spanish. I really need to get on the ball with that in general cause my spanish is still not good.
If you happen to be reading this and a song pops into your head that would probably be a nice song to sing, please let me know. I need all the help I could get. And if not, prayer would be nice too :)
