One of the highlights of WorshipGod08, and there were many, was the conference choir singing Glorious and Mighty on the last morning. Based on Psalm 96Psalm 96
[96:1]Oh sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth!
[2]Sing to the LORD, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
[3]Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
[4]For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
[5]For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
[6]Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
[7]Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
[8]Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come into his courts!
[9]Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth!
[10]Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity."
[11]Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
[12]let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
[13]before the LORD, for he comes,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
, it’s a song written by Todd Twining and Joel Sczebel, with some lyric tweaking by me. Unfortunately, the audio/video didn’t turn out that well, so I wont’ be posting them.
But a number of people have requested the arrangement and it’s finally available. The version I arranged for the conference didn’t have any piano part, just the voices. So I added a basic piano accompaniment if you’re just using piano. I think it sounds best with a full band backing it, though.

In an earlier post I mentioned a question left in one of the comments. Collin wrote:
With my limited experience I am able to lead a full band on Sunday mornings but it stops there. Our church has many capable individuals that would be involved in a choir but my limitations keep me from taking the plunge and just going for it with some simple choir pieces. Do have any suggestions, for someone with my limited experience, how to go about leading a choir? Should I hold off and wait until I have proper training in leading a choir? I know a choir would serve our worship time so it is something I would like to see on occasion on Sunday mornings.
