Memorizing Lyrics

jason — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 02:40:19 +0000

Here are 6 tips for memorizing lyrics from The Worship Community, by Patrick DeRemer.

1) Don’t put it off until the last moment!
If you’re introducing a new song on Sunday start memorizing the lyrics on Wednesday. You will be much more successful spending a few minutes everyday for 4 days than trying to cram on Saturday night. You will know you are prepared if you can recall each verse effortlessly. This is especially true if you are a worship leader who is also an instrumentalist. It’s hard to focus on 2 things at once. If the lyric has become second nature you not only can focus on what the song is saying but on what you’re playing as well.

2) Repeat the words in short phrases one line at a time.
When you’re comfortable with the first line, add the second and repeat together then repeat the first and second lines until mastered then add the third line, etc.

3) Learn the words while listening to the track of the song at home or in the car.
Another good time to memorize is while doing mundane tasks around the house like dong the dishes, making the bed, picking up the house etc.

4) Reversing the order of the verses can be helpful.
Start with verse 2 or 3 and go backwards.

5) Try speaking the lyric to the rhythm of the song instead of singing it.
Do this while performing a task that is repetitive (e.g.: brushing your teeth or loading the dishwasher).

6) Our brains never shut down.
Running through a lyric in your head while going to sleep is an excellent way to reinforce memorization.

Bach, Bubba, and the Blues Brothers

jason — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 03:08:04 +0000

Below is an article by Reggie Kidd. I was greatly influenced by his book “The Singing Savior”.

BACH, BUBBA, AND THE BLUES BROTHERS: THE SINGING SAVIOR’S MANY VOICES

Spend a few years leading music in a church or seminary setting, and you will eventually hear all of the following. I have.

“We’re going to do happening music in the 8:30 service, and if the geriatrics don’t like it, they can go to the 11:00 service.”

“To put it bluntly: Bach is simply better music, and if people can’t handle a superior aesthetic in worship, well, there are plenty of other churches in town.”

“I’m so glad this church doesn’t do all that boring music from the past. We’re singing ‘a new song.’ As for the old stuff, Jesus said: ‘Let the dead bury their own dead.’ End of discussion.”

“No way will we use so-called contemporary worship music in my church. Its roots are in rock ‘n roll, so it’s inevitably associated with the wrong kind of people. Using that music in church would suggest we approve of immoral lifestyles.”

“I guess I can stomach my church’s worship OK, but it’s really too tame for me. The ‘worldly’ music I listen to on the radio at least has intensity. It gets to your gut and fires your imagination. What we do in my church — you know — the hymns and stuff, is just too safe musically. It puts my spirit to sleep.”

“Well, everybody knows that music with the beat on 2 and 4 comes from Africa, which, unfortunately, is still steeped in primitive tribalism — the music carries overtones of Satan-worship and the occult. So, Christians have no business going near that stuff.”

Zac Hicks on the printed Order of Worship

jason — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 02:56:56 +0000

Zac Hicks shares some useful thoughts on the importance of the design of the printed “Order of Worship”, with an example attached.

As all the evangelical pointers continue to signal a continued shift toward worship expressions which are more rooted and liturgical, I’ve noticed an increased re-engagement with that archaic piece of print material known as the “order of worship.” Others call it an “order of service,” a “printed liturgy,” or simply a “bulletin.” Screens in worship have served well many functions, but one thing they cannot get away from is that the words and ideas they project are fleeting. You can’t (usually) know what’s coming next in a worship service with screens. You can’t meditate on any portion of the worship service when the screens constantly change text before you. You can’t take a screen home with you for reflection. (I’m sure there are iPhone apps out there to remedy that, but until every last person has an iPhone, it’s still wishful thinking.)

In some respects, then, I think the resurgence of interest in a printed order of worship is not only an attempt to be more “liturgical,” but a recognition of the deficiencies of screen-usage. Hear me out, I’m not against screens. I just think we’ve lived long enough with them in worship to feel the effects of what they do notoffer. (Marva Dawn has a helpful discussion of the pros and cons of screens vs. hymnals in A Royal “Waste” of Time [Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1999], 289-293.)

In an earlier post, I argued for the importance of branding and corporate imaging in churches. Some people react that this just seems too off course from the “main thing” churches are supposed to be about. I argue that we uphold the main thing when we eliminate unnecessary (the key is unnecessary) distractions that keep the watching world from seeing, hearing, and knowing the main thing that we attempt to preach and live. One of those barriers to our mission is that some of us are ignorant about how our printed media comes across to a culture that is awash in marketing and design theory. We are inundated with well-designed ads, well laid-out mailings, and perpetual exposure to various corporate identities through all the various media. When our print and electronic material is a mishmash of oddly juxtaposed fonts, awkward spacing, inconsistent margins, and out-of-date design concepts (e.g. clip art), it actually creates a barrier toward achieving our end as we plan and lead worship services. Our end is that people might exalt and glorify our Triune God as they glory in the Gospel, and the concern is that an ugly bulletin distracts from that end.

Here are some of the things I’ve learned. I am by no means a design and layout expert. I didn’t study this stuff. So if any professional wants to veto some of my tips, no problem.

Realize you don’t need a pro designer to do this. So many features in our standard programs are available that, once we understand them, we really do have 80-90% of what we need to make a great bulletin. As I describe what is below, just Google some of these terms and concepts if you feel you’re in the dark. There’s enough web material out there to conquer this.

Pick two contrasting fonts (ideally, they are fonts which are used in your church’s print and digital material, to maintain a unity in your visual identity…again, so as not to distract from what’s most important—the glory and mission of God). Contrast is usually achieved when one font is more rounded and one is more blocky. One of the ways these fonts are often set apart as “serif” and “sans-serif” fonts (a “serif” is a flourish, or those little tails at the end of letters; see this wikipedia article for more info). A good example of the contrast is Times New Roman (serif) vs. Arial (sans-serif)…though I wouldn’t recommend using those two (too common…it looks like you’ve put no thought or originality into it). In the example of our order of worship, we’ve chosen to contrast Dominican (a purchased, non-standard serif font) with Century Gothic (a pretty standard sans-serif font).

Decide what fonts to use where. Typically, you’ll want to simply and cleanly juxtapose fonts. Don’t overkill it. Simplicity looks better. Perhaps you can set apart the main elements of the liturgy by making them a different font. Everything else may be some form of the other font. This seems to me to be more art than science, so you should poll a few people you trust about how it looks. Your visual goals are very much in line with your liturgical ones. What are the primary elements of our worship service? What do I want to emphasize the most? Those emphases should be accented visually. You can do that with font differentiation. You can also do that with size (next point).

Think also about font sizes. Things are set apart visually not only by font selection but size selection. Again, you don’t want to go crazy here, but size changes help others easily see what things are more important. (See the example’s size differentiations below.)

Be consistent about what information goes where. I see this problem a lot. Sometimes the song title is right justified, across from the heading. Sometimes it’s underneath the heading, slightly indented. Sometimes composers/songwriters are put in different spots. Sometimes instructional material (“stand up/sit down”) is left justified and sometimes it’s indented. This is all visually confusing. If your composers are right justified, they shouldalways go in that spot. If your song titles are in quotes, they should all be in quotes always. If your instructions are indented an inch, italicized, and 8 point font, they should all be that way. Create “locational categories” for all your information. Everything should be in the same spot. When it’s not, it’s hard to follow.

Utilize the “style” features in your word processing or design programs. Even if you’re using Microsoft Word, and definitely if you’re using Publisher, Quark, InDesign or some more high-powered design program, you have access to something known as “styles.” You can set any one feature of your bulletin (whether it be a liturgical heading, a composer’s name, a song title, or an instructional note) to always appear a certain way, with certain design parameters (e.g. spacing between it and the next line, its size, font, and justification [whether you believe in Piper’s brand or Wright’s brand…kidding…a little theological joke], etc.). Setting and utilizing styles ensures that your bulletin has a consistent layout and feel. And the beauty of this is that you’re not reinventing the wheel when you’re doing the bulletin next week. Once you have your styles set, you can use the previous week’s doc as your template. You’ve cut your layout time in half, if not more.

Be anal. I’m a firm believer that when someone is anal on the back end, people aren’t anal on the front end. People notice when something’s wrong, but when it’s right, people don’t notice it. And that’s our goal, right? We don’t want people fixated on a piece of paper; we want them captivated by God.

There might be some who don’t care for our order of worship in style or design. Even more important, our style and design may not fit every context, so you definitely want to think missionally about what kind of design and look is appropriate for your demographic, neighborhood, or region of ministry. Nevertheless, I think the guy who set this up (it wasn’t me) did a really good job achieving some of these goals, so I offer one of our bulletins as an example. You can click on this image, which will take you to a PDF file. (It’s a folded booklet, so it might take you a second or two to figure out how it runs.)

“Christ The Lord Is Risen Today”
Download the demo… mp3 here

Christ the Lord is risen today

Text: Charles Wesley
Music, arrangement and additional text: Jason Sessoms

(Pre-chorus)
Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia! 
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!

(Verse 1)
Love’s redeeming work is done
Fought the fight, the battle won
Lo! the Sun’s eclipse is over,
Lo! He sets in blood no more

(Chorus)
Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia! 
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing, you heavens, and earth, reply
Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia! 

(Verse 2)
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal
Christ has burst the gates of hell
Death in vain forbids His rise,
Christ has opened paradise

(Repeat Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Lives again our glorious King
Where, O death, is now your sting?
Once He died our souls to save,
Where’s your victory, boasting grave?

(Bridge)
He is risen! Alleluia!
He is risen! Come let us rejoice! (Repeat 2x’s)

(Repeat Chorus)

What do you say when you lead worship?

Bob Kauflin writes…

Last year at the WorshipGod conference I had the opportunity to teach a seminar called, “What Are You Talking About? What to Say When You’re Not Singing.” I wanted to address the age-old question of what to say, if anything, when you’re leading people in congregational worship. What words can inspire people to worship God as we sing, and what words might hinder them?

Imitate J.S. Bach

jason — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:42:59 +0000

Rich Tuttle offers two areas where he thinks worship leaders should imitate Bach.

1) Bach was fully convinced that his calling as a church musician was thoroughly Biblical which gave him great courage and great humility as he carried out his duties.

2) Bach came to this understanding through an intimate knowledge of Scripture that was the overflow of his life and work.

10 Do’s and Don’ts for lead guitarists in worship

jason — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:41:43 +0000

This from the TheWorshipCommunity.

Guitarists perform a fine balancing act in worship groups. They are there to embellish and add the icing on the metaphorical worship cake. If they bring too much icing with their grab-bag of tricks they can destroy something beautiful within seconds.

Lead guitarists should be encouraged, though. Guitarists who choose an electric invariably see it as more than a passing hobby so the ones who really get into it often spend more time honing their skills and expanding their knowledge than is immediately noticed. That desire to hone their craft needs to be appreciated and embraced by worship leaders, congregations and churches as a whole. Yes it can seem a bit all consuming, self involved and even an identity to the outside world but if harnessed well and appreciatated, a good, team playing guitarist with a sensitive ear and a servant heart is pure gold. A guitarist without these traits is like a pew with a nail in it. Painful, and there to stay.

So, for the unloved lead guitarist who desperately needs a claw hammer, help is at hand.

SHF Worship Team Rehearsal 02.10.10

jason — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:47:07 +0000

Last night we rehearsed the songs we plan to sing over the next couple of weeks at SHF. Those songs were…

How great is our God
Be Thou my vision
You are Holy
Sweetly Broken
Jesus! What a friend for sinners
Cannons
Warrior
Come Ye Sinners
At the Cross
Everlasting God

We read Colossians 3:12-17. We then focused on verse 16.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

I wanted us to take some time to feel the weight of what we are doing when we lead people to sing together. As this verse clearly tells us that part of the purpose of singing together is to teach as well as admonish (gently warn and encourage). Then even when we have left the gathering and we are on our way home in our cars, we tend to (or I do) continue to sing the songs that we have just heard. That is and example of letting something “dwell” in you. That is why it is all the more important that we see ourselves as teachers who are providing each other with things to dwell on. We will strive to make those things the word of Christ.

Here are some more thoughts along those lines…

“Throughout scripture and church history, songs have been used to convey
truths about God and us. But songs don’t only declare truth, they are a means
for that truth to be embedded deeply into our hearts and minds. The words
we place into people’s mouths through the songs we sing have a life and
significance that we dare not ignore. Our songs not only reflect a theology of
how we should relate to God, they shape it. They exercise a formative power
in our understanding of God.” (from glenabbey)

“Corporate worship has a teaching function through the lyrics of its songs. This was particularly important in the oral culture of Paul’s day.”
(ESV Study Bible)

Dan will be talking to us about Generous Christianity…

Generosity should be an attribute of every Christian. And I’m not just talking about money here. I’m talking about a generous way of life. Why should we be generous? It’s rather simple. God has been very generous to us. Think about it, the gospel is the most generous news you’ll ever hear! God graciously and generously crushed His Son for us so that we could be forgiven. And that is not all. He also graciously and generously gave us His Spirit to be our Helper in this life. Furthermore, He has graciously and generously secured our future where we will forever be in His Presence. Perhaps “generous” might be an understatement.

This Sunday at SHF we will begin to explore Generous Christianity together. Join us!
