Setlist - 17 Jan 2020
7-8pm at the January Burn

Hannah and I opening the 10 Year Anniversary Celebration of Durham Burn at St Oswald's Church. Justin, Matthew and Curtis joining us to make up a full band. The acoustics of that building were made for music!

'Stand in Awe' was a standout track for us last year. We led it acoustically one time before, but it really came to life with the full band. At the end we dropped to a capella spontaneous singing. It was powerful.

Out of that, we tried a version of the Sunday Service Choir song 'Lift Up Your Voices' - a Gospel take on Sia's 'Elastic Heart'. (I never thought Sia would feature as a songwriter on one of my worship setlists, but there we go!) I think it worked, and we did it as a medley with the very familiar 'I'll Stand'. As we finished, I led an a capella version of 'Our God is an Awesome God' that carried on in the room over the the tech transition. An amazing sound.

These times leading at Burn are so rich. Having the time to unpack the songs really increases the depth of them and brings out links in the set that otherwise might flash past unnoticed. I'm very grateful to be part of Burn.
