The Worship Files

I would usually post a video here, and I did record a video, but I can’t find the stupid cable to get the stupid video off the stupid camera. I’m not frustrated at all . However, since I record the audio directly into the computer and sync it with the video, I do in fact have the audio, so I will at least post that. UPDATE: Figured out a way to get it right off the card, so video is below, albeit a little late.

I used my electric this week instead of my acoustic and I also threw in an ambient “pad” in the background that was made by this dude, who blogs about guitar and worship. Thanks for the pad, I’ll be using it Sunday!

Anyway, I really like this song and it fits perfectly with the sermon series that we’re in. Give it a listen below and check out the lyrics as well. I hope you’ll dig it.

As usual, I only give this one take because I don’t have time to do a real recording, so please be forgiving of my singing and a couple of wrong chords.

I’ve had more than a few funny looks while leading worship and plenty of people actually asking what the deal is with my guitar, so I decided to do a demo of sorts to explain it.  You’ll have to watch the video to see more of what I’m talking about, but the basic gist is that it can sound like an acoustic and an electric at the same time.  For those of you who care, it’s a Godin LGX-SA and I absolutely love it.

Well, this is normally where I’d post a Youtube video of me playing a new song on the acoustic, but that just isn’t going to happen this week.  My allergies are so bad and my face is so stuffy that I can barely talk, much less sing.  It’s an easy song and a great one, so go search the Tube and find it.  It’s Rain Down by David Crowder.

See you Sunday, hopefully congestion-free.

Brian Simpson has rocked it with his design skills and made us a new site over at www.originsaustin.com. This will allow us to update posts/news/pages/calendar/etc far easier than before.  The old site was also designed by Brian and was super slick, but once we moved it to a new server (one that was free to host at), we ran into some issues where the database wouldn’t update. All that is fixed now and I hope you like the new site as much as we do.  Thanks again, Brian!

IMPORTANT: All podcasts will be going up on the new Origins site instead of here.  This will also affect your iTunes subscription as we will be creating a new page/feed to iTunes and deleting the old feed soon.  Stay tuned for details on the new iTunes podcast link.

The current series we’re in is all about making much of 2010, which if we’re to do biblically, it means we’re to make much of God. This song simply says to God that he can have all of us because all that we truly need is Him. Recognizing this is huge when it comes to making much of God because if we can’t exalt Him above all else, we’ll never put him before our own selfish desires.

We’ll be starting off worship with this Sunday morning. It’s a super easy song and will likely be familiar to some of you.

Oh yeah, some of you may remember my new delay pedal…I decided to figure it out a little more and I recorded this video using the pedal which is why it’ll sound a little weird (weird but hopefully good!).
