Chilluns, don't get me started.
On the upside, it's a GREAT song [You Are Holy (Prince Of Peace), by Michael W. Smith], and here's the fun part. After the verses, it has one part that has either a chorus or a countermelody. First time through, we [congregation and band] all do the chorus, second time we all do the countermelody.

It's fun to really be looking forward to going to church! Plus I talked my daughter into playing bass both during the service and during church, and it's always more fun playing with her.
Hey I love that song Brian! I had the youth band working on it a while back but 2 of my singers quit, so that sorta knocked it in the head for now. But it IS a cool song!
I hate that about getting cut to one song too. We stopped playing for the whole month of December. Finally got started back practicing last week, but I wasn't even there today for our first performance of the new year.
But I was thinking about you this morning. We took College Girl back to school yesterday and spent the night there last night so we could go to church with her this morning. Our former pastor attends a very, upright "high church" Baptist church only a 1.5 miles from her dorm. So, my wife wanted us to go there to "check it out". I knew what was coming...
Sure enough, it was about as "old school high church" as it gets. It was a flash back (a bad one...) to 25 years ago at our church. The ministers all wore black robes with white stoles and all the music was very high church. One young girl (one of the FEW young ones) sang a beautiful song, but again it was a classical number. And NOBODY dared clap when she finished. I was really uncomfortable there. I knew it's story, but an usher came up to us before church and told us the story about how the church had split a few years earlier and built a second "vineville baptist" across town where all the "young folks" go.... I knew right then we were in trouble... LOL
Anyway we got my daughter situated and we got back home a few hours before the rain and sleet started. Kinda messy here. Rain, snow and sleet are all over Georgia and the rest of the Southeast. So tomorrow will be a fun day...
