I will use this blog post to offer clues for any readers from C&C who want an advance idea of what to expect. I will update it daily.

Time to praise the Lord, make some big noise
Praying in the street, see what Psalm 150 says
You've got cymbals and a beat
Guitars and dancing feet
Rock and Roll worship belong in this place
(Singing) We will, We will rock you
Time to praise the Lord, make some big noise
Time to praise the Lord, make some big noise
Using Rock and Roll to sing my saviour's praise
If we stay silent
The rocks will praise riot
So turn it to 11 and share God's grace
(Singing) We will, We will rock you
Living easy, living free
Since I learned to give away my pride
Asked Jesus, forgive me
Forgive every sin that's in my life
Not by works, not this time
Ain't nothing that I could do
Saved by grace, simple faith
Saved by grace, simple faith
My friends I want to share with you
(Well, Jesus) Saved me from Hell
Well Jesus paid my dues
At the cross He died for me and you
So Satan, get behind me
I'm done playing by all your rules
Starting now, I belong
To the one who holds the world in His hands
Hey momma, look at me
I'm on the way to the promised land
(Cuz Jesus) Saved me from Hell
I'm not going down
Jesus Saved me from Hell
They knew Moses and the things of God
The 10 commandments and the Jewish law
Pharisees asked Christ which one's the greatest
Jesus said you wanna know where it is?
Try Deuteronomy, chapter 6
Try Deuteronomy, chapter 6
Look at verse 5, you'l find it Pharisee
You read about, You need to shout it
I love the Lord with all my might, my heart and everything
The people came to Jesus Christ all the while
They looked for answers and they liked his style
Please tell us Lord which law's the next best
Love the Lord with everything you've got
Jesus said well that's my first law
The second is to love your neighbour
Don't even doubt it, you need to shout it
I love the Lord with all my might, my heart and everything
Wearing shirts must have been difficult back then.
Update (The day after): I did it. I was so nervous. My fingers were tingling and I couldn't control my voice. Wow, I really don't like being in the spotlight. I blanked half way through a solo and had to improvise the rest and by the end I'm pretty sure I sung the last song completely off key. But I survived. And, although I was definitely the least polished act, I had way more fun. If I could have hid off stage and just been miked I would have performed better but there's something electric about the interaction between the audience and the performer, and although I wasn't in top form, I think we had some chemistry going. It was fun, and I never want to do that again. :)
Oh, ya. I thought there would be about 40-50 people there. It was closer to 150.
Up next: Dance Lessons... (What have I done?)

Where and what time? I already know two of them! ;)
Ebenezer at 7pm this Saturday.
I think you may have to buy a ticket but they may still sell them at the door. I'm not sure on that though.
Sounds like a good time. Performing is a great exercise! Glad you had a good time. The more we take steps like that the more we see that fear actually can't stop us from doing anything. Kudos.
I recommend Salsa dancing. Super fun;)
