Help! The worship team is playing an Instrumental… What do I do?
We’ve all been there. We’re about 2/3rds of the way through the medium paced song. The verses were nice, the chorus was nice, but then BAM!

Today I got to go pick apples and sunflowers with Lindsey and Lily. It was a great time with lots of smiles and fresh air.

Hey all, Just thought I would post something that I found fun. One of the challenges given during the 2021 Getty Hymn Writers Collective was to write a song that tapped into the essence of a sea shanty.
