As many of you know, I’ve been a worship leader in some capacity since 1999. I’m passionate about music, especially music that magnifies the Lord!

Today I want to introduce a new weekly series that I pray will be beneficial to you. I’m calling the series “Wednesday Is for Worship,” and each week I’ll post a worship song to God. I pray you’ll use it to first sing praise to our great God and then to introduce it to others, hopefully even your congregation. Some of the songs will be new. Some will be old. But, all of them will extol the name and glories of God.

Our inaugural song is one that’s been on my heart for over a month now…
