Song of the Week 2019 – #21 – “As We Leave This Place”
As a worship leader, I find I’m always wanting to close our worship service with a meaningful song as we head out into our new week of living with and for our God. I always want us to have a moment to consider what was just spoken and to offer our response in prayerful, hopeful surrender. Personally, I have such fond memories of watching my dad, a retired pastor, lead the traditional Doxology to close out our services; it always seemed to put a big and beautiful AMEN right at the end! I pray that this song can do the same. Also, I want to offer a word of encouragement to all who faithfully serve your church family in some capacity. Jesus LOVES His church! No matter how big or small your contribution may feel, you are an invaluable part of God’s plan to build His eternal Kingdom!
