It’s another installment of #MusicMonday! I led worship for our high school student ministry last night and afterwards felt like I didn’t do a very good job. I had a hard time engaging the students and I couldn’t find the melody of the last song for the whole first half of it. There’s not much that feels more awkward to a worship leader than singing a weird harmony to the first half of a song without anyone singing the melody. As I reflect on the whole experience this morning, I am drawn back to another song that we sang last night and I’m reminded of the love of God in spite of my shortcomings.
Just because I felt like I did a poor job doesn’t mean that God did not work through me. His sovereignty goes far beyond a wrong note or missed lyric. It amazes me every time I think about how infinite, powerful, pure, and extravagant God’s love is, yet how intimate at the same time.
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, intimate
I feel I’m moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place
Your love is extravagantSpread wide in the arms of Christ
is the love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known
You considered me a friendCapture my heart again
