This is the first song that I'd like everyone to learn. It's pretty simple, you've probably heard it before. It's technically not a "new" song but I don't think many of you are familiar with playing it.
Look at the words, even if you're not a singer. We want to be aware of what we are really saying when we are in worship. Worship is supposed to be interactive! This song invites Christ to meet with us, acknowledging that he alone is worthy of our adoration and worship. This song is partially taken from Psalm 19 (go read it!).
Here are the words/chords:

And here's a video of it so you can get an idea of how the song can be played*:

Musicians, please familiarize yourself with how to play this song, give it your best shot! Singers, try to learn the melody or work out your harmony for this so we can all try it out soon.
Thanks!
*Remember, we don't really want to literally imitate these people, it's just a random video so you can visualize our own way of playing it... we need to find out what works for us as musicians and what makes sense for an atmosphere of worship. But I do kind of like their arrangement of the song. ;)
