More than a Song

What if worship is more than a song? In an age of stages, streams, and polished production, the church has nearly forgotten the deeper question Scripture has been asking from Genesis to Revelation: what is worship, really, when stripped of everything we have built around it? And what is the God of the Bible actually looking for when His people come before Him? More Than a Song traces the answer across the whole canon - from a garden in Eden, where two people walked with God in the cool of the day, to the throne room of heaven, where every tribe and language and people and nation gathers around the Lamb who was slain. Along the way it walks through the Tabernacle, David's dance, Solomon's glory, the prophets' devastating indictment of corrupted worship, Jesus at a well in Samaria, the cross, the early church's four devotions, the song at midnight in a Philippian jail, and the priesthood of every believer. Written for youth and elders, worship leaders and theologians, lifelong saints and honest seekers - and rooted firmly in Scripture rather than in any one denominational tradition - More Than a Song offers the resources for a worshipping life that does not collapse when the music stops, when the season turns dry, or when the midnight comes. "Worship is not the music. Music is one of the most powerful, beautiful, Spirit-compatible vessels worship has ever found. But it is the vessel - not the content." The Sunday gathering is the rehearsal. The cross is the ground. The Spirit is the breath. The Lamb is the song. And the song never ends.
