Vertical Habits Music
On October 26 and 27 I took part in the Vertical Habits consultation at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. The idea behind Vertical Habits is simple: worship teaches us to talk to God, so we should be very intentional about what we say. For example, do we have lots of ways to say "Love You" but no vocabulary for "Sorry"? I thought it would be instructive to apply the same principle to my own music. Here's a list of Vertical Habits with songs I've written that fit those themes:
Love You (Praise)
Sorry (Confession)
Why? (Lament)
I'm listening (Prayer for Illumination)
Help (Petition)
Thank You (Gratitude)
What Can I Do? (Dedication)
May the Mind of Christ, My Savior
Bless You (Blessing)
