Well, we did it again… we left all our instruments at home and sang entirely A Cappella. Many said they were blessed by this time so I thought I would make the recordings we got of the songs available for download in MP3 format (though there are some minor hiccups in the songs, overall the recordings came out good):

Download “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name”:

Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.”

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!”

If you weren’t able to make it, you can listen or download Pastor Emilio‘s message “Discernment in the Local Church” from 1 Timothy 3:14-16:

Something else that was different this weekend, when we did our song service this Sunday we left all our instruments at home and sang entirely A Cappella.

We opened up our first service for this new year the same way we opened up our very first worship service together as a church, by praying together to God, by song, for help. The song we sang is called “Jesus, With Thy Church Abide” (and I [Jason Delgado] took the liberty to put the lyrics into first person so it makes it more of a prayer from the church to God). Listen below:

Jesus, with Thy Church Abide

Original Lyrics: Thomas B. Pollock (1871)
Edited Lyrics: Jason Delgado (2007)
Music: Christopher Miner (1997)

Jesus, with Thy church abide;

Be our Savior, Lord, and Guide,

While on earth our faith is tried:

We beseech Thee, hear us,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

-

Keep our life and doctrine pure;

Grant us patience to endure,

Trusting in Thy promise sure:

We beseech Thee, hear us,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

-

May we one in doctrine be,

One in truth and charity,

Winning all to faith in Thee:

We beseech Thee, hear us,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

-

Raise us to our calling high,

Let the nations far and nigh,

Hear Thy heralds’ warning cry:

We beseech Thee, hear us,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

-

May our lamp of truth be bright,

Help us bear aloft its light,

Through the realms of heathen night:

We beseech Thee, hear us,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

-

Often sorrow, often woe,

onward Christian, onward go!

-

Let me encourage you, if you have yet to make it to an “Afterglow” to try and make one and spend some extra time in worship through song and prayer.
