NEW SONGS
New songs are important for keeping worship fresh, and they often correspond to what God is doing at that time. Always be on the look out for new songs, new ways of expressing your love and worship.
When leading worship though, you don’t want the focus to be on the new song, so try and introduce the song slowly to them. Many people use the first song in a set as the time to do new songs because it means that worship isn’t interrupted because people haven’t got into it yet. But this is hard work and can be quite awkward with everyone looking up at the screen reading the words. I find that a better place to do it, is in the ministry time or communion. These are times when the music isn’t the focus, but people can also hear the words and learn the song without interrupting anything. Again, see what God says, there may be times in the middle of worship occasionally, when doing a new song will work.
I encourage you also, to try and write your own. Be creative, use the gifts that God has given you. Maybe you could get together with a friend who writes songs and get their advice, or even co-write a couple. You can’t sing a song more passionately than a song you’ve written yourself. The more you write the better they’ll get.
