Worship Leadership Tips
Often used during Easter, communion, or reflective worship times. Benefits from a stripped-down arrangement. Consider having congregation seated for deeper reflection.
Arrangement Tips
Lead with just one or two instruments to mirror its message of simplicity. Use dynamics to match lyrics - remain soft when singing of suffering, build to final verse.
