Worship Music Thoughts - Praise & Worship P&W

This is a place for Christians to discuss what song Worship is. How do we do it? What works well? How do we balance many issues facing us? Tough questions will be asked. We can also share favorites (songs, bands, websites) and worst "favorites" (songs, bands, etc). I hope to learn and grow and get some great ideas.

About Me

Name:
Location: Eagle Grove, Iowa, United States

I was born in 1973 in Zaire, Africa. My parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents on my mom’s side were all missionaries with the Evangelical Free Church in Zaire. I graduated from boarding school in Zaire (Ubangi Academy) in 1991 and went to Moody Bible Institute. I spent my summers working at Hidden Acres, the Evangelical Free Church camp in Iowa and it was there I met my lovely and gracious wife, Lori (though we didn’t fall in love there). I received a B.A. in Youth Ministry from Moody and spent over 5 years in an Independent Baptist Church in rural Michigan. I left there at God’s call in 2002 to serve at Grace Evangelical Free Church in Eagle Grove, Iowa, as the Youth Pastor. I have an incredible son, Benjamin, and a beautiful daughter, Elise. My wife is a huge part of our ministry with the youth. I am currently pursuing (slowly) a Master of Arts and Religion from Reformed Theological Seminary through their virtual campus (distance education). My passions are for the glory of God, my family, guitar, volleyball, sports in general, and students. Though the future is unclear, I believe God has called me to “full-time” ministry.

What are your favorite Resources for worship stuff?

What are your favorite sources for worship stuff? Maybe it's a book, a website, a video series, whatever? Again, there may be many categories.

FOR ME PERSONALLY
I play guitar - preferably accoustic, so that drives what I do. I also do our youth music and 1 of every 3 Sunday morning worship. That's what drives what I like.

Best Free Resource - http://www.worshiptogether.com/ - join and go every week and print of the free song in many keys. In the last 3 years I've printed off a bunch I didn't know at the time, and now I use them all the time.

Sovereigngracemusic.com - great site - free tab to their songs; download songs cheaply or by the whole CD. Great theology with good tunes.
igracemusic.com - and the RUF Hymnal

Tons of Tab places
rockin with the cross
ultimate-guitar.com
christianguitar.org
guitartabs
911tabs
delicatefade.com
so many more


Books:
Hymnal with chords (not the regular pew Hymnal - but most hymnals will have a chorded edition - I really like the Celebration Hymnal).
Gravity & Gladness On Sunday Morning: The Pursuit of God in Corporate Worship (John Piper)

What about you?
