Torey Sorel: Acoustic Worship Medley (Heart of Worship, Here I Am To Worship, Amazing Love)

I felt like we entered the upper room atmosphere when we reached this point of the worship night. When setting up the setlist, I wanted to have songs with joy and intimacy in a vertical approach. I have been listening to Sonicflood’s album repeatedly because it is the most vertical, creative, and authentic praise and worship album. The last song to end the album was “The Heart of Worship”. It was only with a vocal, acoustic guitar, and piano. I thought it was so simple yet a powerful and intimate offering to the Lord. You don’t have to fancy equipment to get in contact with our Heavenly Father. All He wants is our hearts that are willing to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. I thought it would be really a beautiful combination to add “Here I Am To Worship” and “You Are My King (Amazing Love)” because they both blend so well together with “The Heart of Worship”.

For Alyssa Bellamy to lead us in “Here I Am To Worship” was and is the most perfect, amazing choice because she reminds me of when I was young, passionate, and wanting to pursue the Lord with everything within. The past few years in getting to know her and her family is nothing short of incredible blessings to me. To see her spread her wings and leading in praise and worship is a huge burst of joy in my heart but also it took me to another level in God like never before. When we got to “You Are My King (Amazing Love)” led by Keri Shackelford, our cameraman had to take a break because he had a bad cramp so he had to take a break but all is well. It was truly a huge blessing overall.
