Month: October 2006

Last week during my week off I downloaded a whole bunch of congregational songs from Mars Hill Church Seatle (where Mark Driscoll is senior pastor). I’ve currently got 41 tracks, and there might be about 100 in total. They are available from here and most of them are original Mars Hill songs or reworked hymns recorded live during their church services (the aduio quality is pretty impressive). The ones I’ve enjoyed the most are by one of their bands called Brothers of the Empty Tomb (B.E.T in their catalogue)

Questions:
What’s the best song introduced in your church during the past year?
What’s your all time favourite church song?
What Bible themes or passages ought songs be written about?
