Worship Song of 2011 – The results are in!

Thank you to everyone who voted for their favourite song of the last year, nearly 60 of you voted which is a fantastic response!

So, without further ado, let’s get down to the results:

In first place, with 28% of the vote, and the winner by quite some way…

Never Once by Matt Redman.

A fantastic song that really seems to have connected well in church, singing about God’s faithfulness is a really good way to connect with God, and judging by your votes you seem to agree!

This song is from Matt Redman’s album, 10,000 Reasons, if you like this one then do yourself a favour and pick up the album, it’s without a doubt one of my favourite albums of the year.

In second place in the poll, and deserving of an honourable mention, is Furious by Brian Johnson & Jeremy Riddle (17%), another fantastic song and probably my personal favourite I think.

These two songs were a long way clear of all the others in the voting, but it was nice to see that every single song managed at least one vote. Somehow even the Red Hot Chilli Peppers managed a vote! (thank you Mr Jeffrey Gill for that one!)

Worship Song of 2011

What was your favourite worship song of the last year?

It would be really useful to hear which songs you really liked from the last 12 months, it will help shape our song choices for the coming year, so this is your chance to have a say in what we sing! If you have a few favourites please feel free to vote for all of them, you can only vote for one at a time, but you can reload the page and vote as many times as you like!

If you’re not sure what the songs sound like then check my earlier posts for links to hear them, or do a quick Google search.

Thank you for taking the time to vote!

(Maybe I’ll follow this up with a poll of which songs you most like to see us kill off, what have you sung so much you could quite happily never hear it again! Ha!)

Sunday Setlist 1st January 2012

Kicking off a new year with 5 baptisms, what could be better!?!

Baptisms are my favourite meetings, as Cari so eloquently put it – new year, new life!

Our setlist was as follows:

Saviour of the World – Ben Cantelon

Be Glorified – ALM:uk

Give Me Faith – Elevation Worship

Our God – Chris Tomlin

10,000 Reasons – Matt Redman

We Are The Free – Matt Redman

This set was nice and simple, Kristian and I both played acoustic guitar and Sarah sang with us. Despite some lingering Christmas sore throats it went pretty well I think and was definitely the perfect start to 2012.

We’ve got a new song lined up for Sunday, if you want to have a sneak peak check it out below…
