He's my saviour
Themes: resurrection, easter, praise, the cross, unfinished, second coming
Media Type: mp3, Corporate Worship Idea
Bible refs: Rev 22:20, 1 Cor 15:3-4
Written by: Joel Payne

 

This song is designed to be improvised! There are a few basic verses to get you going - you can then choose to stop, or carry on with improvised verses. The leader or members of the group/congregation call out 4 or 5 syllable phrases which everyone then joins in singing, finishing with 'Christ the Lord' each time. I've found it works well in big and small groups, and particularly in response to Bible study or preaching, when our eyes have been opened to Jesus' character and work. I've been very encouraged seeing some of the quieter members of a group bravely call out and play a part in leading the praises of the others. The live recording of this one to try to give you a really clear idea of how it might work in practice.

You can download a chord chart or lead sheet from RESOUNDworship.org.

He's my Saviour, he's my Saviour,
he's my Saviour, Christ the Lord.

He was crucified...

He is risen...

He is coming...

Leader / congregation improvise additional verses...

  Love it. We've used this a number of times at St. Stephen's and it's always worked.

  Loved this so much.

It allows all to participate in worship rather than singing words that someone else has wrote. The whole conference joined in at Thirst venue New Wine North and it felt so powerful.

Cheers for posting up the info so that i can use it back at my home church
