Essentials Green Creative Project – YOU MADE A WAY

For: The Institute Of Contemporary And Emerging Worship Studies, St.Stephen’s University, Essentials Green Online Course with Dan Wilt.

‘You Made A Way’ is my creative project for Essentials Green. As I have reflected on what we have discussed in Essentials Green regards worship values I was drawn to the fact that accessibility starts with God, He made a way for us, He is the way for us.

“But I by Your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will bow down toward Your holy temple.” – Psalm 5:7

We can only worship because God has made a way. We can only stand in His presence, lift voices and hands, because He values accessibility.

I know this is a rather different take on this value, but it is what came to mind as I pondered. How we value accessibility is by being aware of some extremely practical things, like lyrics, keys, styles, volume, etc. We as worship leaders guard the worship experience from things that would push it away from people engaging and entering in to communion with God.

God has dealt with the practical issues too. Sin, distance, separation, all dealt with so we can have access to worship and adore Him. This song talks of how God has valued access by His love and mercy, by the giving of Jesus on the cross. He loves us so much that in His mercy He gave His only Son that we may have access.

Pity about the rough recording and bad vocals!! You’ll get the idea!!
