Blessed
was recorded March 3, 2002 at the Sydney
Entertainment Centre with a full house of
worshippers (12,000 people).Song list as
it was last night is:
Blessed (songwriter - Darlene Z and Reuben M)
Now that You're near (Marty)
Shout of the King (Ned Davies)
Made me glad (Miriam Webster) - a shame Darlene
lead this one and not Miriam
Through it all (Reuben Morgan)
Son of God (Marty and Lincoln Brewster)
One Desire (Joel Houston)
Magnificent (Ray Badham)
I adore (Reuben Morgan)
All I do (London Hillsong) Darlene forgot the second verse first time thru
- this is the excuse she used but apparently there
was something that didn't sound right.
With You
(Reuben Morgan)
King of Majesty (Marty) Marty didn't have a mic - there was another guy
who was lead but he could hardly be heard. Darlene stopped the song the first time it was sung and got the
crowd to do what the choir was doing - jumping and
saying/rapping the go's eg.Jesus You are the
Saviour of my soul go,go,go,go, go,go and forever and ever I'll give my praises to
You.
All the heavens (Reuben Morgan)
The singers on stage were (all the time) Darlene,
Reuben, Marty, Julie Bassett, Steve McPherson, and
Miriam Webster.
They were joined at different times by Damian
Bassett, Scott Haslem, Garth Lazaro, Woody
Pierson, Peter Hart, Ned Davies, Katrina Peoples,
Tulele Faletulo, Erica Crocker, Karen Hammond,
Kathryn DeAraujo.
Choir conductors were Ruth Athanasio, Martine
Williams, Tanya Riches (one song) and Andrew
Sloane(one song).
Hope this is a great insight in to Blessed and now I can't wait to
listen to the album!
