As a worship leader, I continue to learn and grow in how to choose songs for a church service. Years ago, I used to think that a song that has a repetitive chorus was shallow (or that the songwriter was lazy. Ha!).
I discovered, though, that there are times when repetitive songs can be used effectively.
I recently came across this worship song, and God has been using it in my life over the last week or so.
“There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
To break every chain
Break every chain, break every chain.”
It has been a great reminder to me, while sorting the stuff of life – that nothing has to bind me.
Are there any songs, Bible verses or meaningful quotes that run through your mind throughout the day that have brought you encouragement lately?
