To bridge the gap between the “Love One Another” series and the Easter season, we did mini series based on Henry Clouds book “Integrity.” In this particular set, we carried over “Place of Freedom,” which we introduced last week in the key of D (the original). However, it was a bit low for me once the chorus got full after the bridge and my vocals I could tell were getting a little lost, not volume wise, but feel wise. It was losing the power of the message musically because you couldn’t really feel the lyrics with the range it was in. So, I bumped it up to the key of E.

Other than that small tweak, we opened with an oldie but a goodie, “Running,” which I led, followed by two male led songs back-to-back: “One Thing Remains” and “Never Once.” We ended the second song with a down chorus, and stayed in the key of B to seamlessly transition to the third. At the end of “Never Once” we tagged “You are faithful, God you are faithful” four times before landing on the B (which we let ring out a bit) before moving to the key of E via pad.

For response, Pastor Devin chose “Cornerstone,” keeping in mind the definition of Integrity being “the quality or condition of being whole and complete.” This leading to our capacity as people only being filled and maintained in/through Christ. However, we edited this song down, creating a special version just for this moment (attached above).
