In His Sanctuary : Worship Songs and Hymns for Choir and Congregation

The term, Integral Worship, has been coined to describe worship experiences comprised of various elements, each playing a vital and equally important role. When one of these elements is missing, our worship feels incomplete and not totally fulfilling. These elements take on various modes of expression, from high praise to quiet meditation and encompass music as well as the spoken word."In His Sanctuary" is a new choral collection of hymn and worship song medleys designed specifically for Integral Worship. Time-honored hymns of the faith link hands with contemporary worship songs and the result is a powerful thematic package for choir, praise team or ensemble, and congregation. The Worship Resources pages in the back of the book offer ideas for integrating into a service related hymns and worship songs, responsive scriptures, congregational prayers and other acts of praise. In addition, some scripture references have been included to assist Worship Leaders in presenting the biblical basis for the packages.Together with classic hymns such as Come, Christians, Join to Sing; Praise to the Lord, the Almighty; Day By Day and I Need Thee Every Hour, the collection includes worship songs from writers Cheri Keaggy, Lindell Cooley, Lynn DeShazo, Darlene Zschech, Jamie Harvill and Bob Fitts. Another exciting feature of this work is the inclusion of 3 songs taken from the new product line, Lillenas Worship Resources. Opportunities for congregational involvement are available and strongly encouraged in the music and in the spoken elements.
