Worship Music for NOW!!

Have you ever looked back on a old picture that was maybe even just a few years old and said “Wow, that looks old”. Or you find yourself sitting at the mall and some old song comes on and you find yourself grooving to something that is “Just not cool anymore”. It is funny how the Old songs bring you back to memories and emotions of a time and a place that usually you don’t remember, until you hear the song. The only difference is that we can’t go back if we want to write what is for today. So I often ask myself the question after 16 years of writing, “what song is for the next season?” What is the song for the next season of my life and the next season of the Church? It is a question that cannot be answered until the song comes and often it comes before the next season. Before the World Crisis hit the planet late last year I wrote a song called “Set On You” that I am sure will be on my next Album. It is a simple song that proclaims our full trust and hope in our savior. It is exactly what I have needed and what my church has needed to sing in this season. You see, a song is a powerful weapon, especially the song of the NOW!!! I think that it is a good Idea to sing worship songs of the past and present but we can’t forget to sing the songs that God gives for the NOW!! For THIS time, and THIS season!! Maybe a few years down the road that song of NOW will hit you again and you can be thankful for a season that God brought you through!!
