One of the largest Worship Leaders conference has been in session literally in my backyard. Transcend 1.0 is being held at the Gaylord Texan and today I went to hear Tim Hughes lead worship. Tim is the worship director at Holy Trinity Brompton in London, and is best known for the song Here I am to Worship.
Tim and company really ushered in the presence of the Lord. The place was packed and the singing from the crowd was heavenly. 
Here are some of Tim's thoughts on worship:
“It should be common in our churches to see people weeping in worship,
overwhelmed at the sheer mercy of God. It should be common to hear
people singing at the tops of their voices, passionately expressing the
love that God has lavished upon us. It should be common to see people
dancing like lunatics, freely and with abandon, responding to God’s
salvation. It should be common to see people rapt in silence, lost in
wonder, completely transfixed at the transcendence of our God. We have
an amazing God, and our worship should be real, honest, authentic,
engaged, expressive, and wholehearted; we should be holding nothing
back.”
I also heard Ross Parsley of New Life Church (not to be confused with Rod Parsley). Ross is the Worship Leader and Interim Sr. Pastor at New Life. That Interim title may become permanent. I thought he did a terrific job of bringing the Word. In my worship design, I often
use Ross' "Amazed" and "I am Free."
