I found this song while searching through worship conference setlists.  Just try to imagine God...  trust me, he's greater...  I really liked how this song had the acoustic intro, but it would've been nice if I'd remembered to turn on my guitar while I was playing it...  8-)  I figured it out by the bridge luckily...

10-Greater Than We Can Imagine

We brought this song out as special music last Easter.  Pastor Craig asked me to find a song about how good God is to us...  This one was a little intimidating for me at first vocally...  I definitely do this song better than I did a year ago, but it's a style stretch.  I'd love to try the overlapping vocal part in service split down the middle of the room, but past attempts at that kind of thing haven't always gone well.  I still have hope though!

11-So Good To Me

Of course we're gonna play a Tomlin song!  This is another "new" one that we decided to bring out a few weeks before, but it still felt new to us.  We're playing it again this Sunday!  

12-Our God

One of the "new" songs introduced that night.  We'll probably play it in service on 03/06.  I briefly considered programming a loop for this song, but we don't have the setup for that really, and it's only in the intro where it really would've been cool to have.  Erin's echoing "alive..." part in the bridge ALMOST got me...

13-All Because Of Jesus

We were at Thriving Musician's Summit in Roseville when Paul Baloche handed out the sheets and taught us how to play this song a few weeks before the CD came out.  It quickly became a team favorite, and it's hard for me to not fall back on this song every couple of weeks when I'm having trouble picking songs.

14-Glorious

The singer on the original Hillsong version was definitely channeling Carli.  And James has this knack of just nailing a guitar part regardless of the style, difficulty, or weird timing.  A beautiful song combining an older song with fresh words.

15-Like Incense / Sometimes By Step

This song has everything...  worship, renewal, faith, God's power over sin and brokenness...  I sometimes think we rock this song too much in service, but it's hard not to, so we unleashed on it this night.

16-From The Inside Out

This is a song I'd heard several times up at Redwood Christian Park over the last few years, but only recently had we introduced it.  Sometimes people complain about "simple" songs that don't have a lot of theology, but there are times you're just in a spot and you're crying out to Jesus, "Please, come rescue me.  The world has me down...  I wanna follow You..."  You don't need 5 verses and a huge church organ to express that.

17-Rescue

Pastor Craig brought us this song for closing one Sunday.  It was back at a time when I was just starting to think about introducing new songs again, but I was still a little timid about bringing in a "big" song as what I call a "worship set song".  The dynamics between the verses and the big chorus are always fun, and the middle just gives us a chance to lean back and play our instruments and remember who we're playing for.  I felt the closing song for the evening needed something extra, and that grew into the medley at the end, which I think turned out pretty cool.  I had deliberately left Mighty To Save off the set since we've been playing it for a long time, but just that small part really brought something out.
