- When a Heart Skips a Beat written by Chad Osborne & Phil Wing – you can hear this one on the Apex Band’s “LIVE” cd.
- Everlasting God written by Glenn Packiam – this is a new song from New Life Church, not to be confused with the popular one by Lincoln Brewster or Chris Tomlin. The backbone of this song stayed similar to the New Life version, but all the orchestra parts were replaced with ambient electric guitar layers.
- Kingdom and a King written by Robbie Seay
- Be Thou My Vision – The writer is unknown although it can be traced to ancient Ireland. Translated & Versified by Byrne & Hull. Our version of this song started out with the arrangement by Jars of Clay…then as we practiced, it kinda turned into something different and unique. Whatever it was, it was enjoyable to play.
songs from the weekend of August 7/8, 2010
- You’ll Come written by Brooke Fraser
- Marvelous Light written by Charlie Hall
- None but Jesus written by Brooke Fraser – We came up with our own arrangement of this one. It was more electric guitar driven – still slow, but more “up” feeling from the drums. Think Sigur Ros meets Hillsong. :)
- There is No One written by Jason Morant – you can hear this one on the Apex Band’s “Connections” cd.
- Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus written by Helen Lemmel – we took the chorus of this song, slowed it down, put it in 4/4 instead of 3/4, and added it to the end of There Is No One.
- To Know Your Name written by Matt Crocker
songs from the weekend of July 31 & August 1, 2010

songs from the weekend of July 3/4, 2010
This weekend, we only did 1 song before the sermon and then did all the rest after it to allow for more reflection/response/processing time. Ther sermon was about about true faith has action. “Living Faith Works. Dead Faith Doesn’t.” It was great! These are the songs we chose to go along with that sermon.
- Doxology written by Thomas Ken – we did an acoustic arrangement of this song that was a little more “up” feeling. Perhaps it was Dave Matthews-esque? Either way, it was just 2 guitars and a vocal so it was great to hear the Apex family sing it out loud.
- From the Inside Out written by Joel Houston
- Lead Me to the Cross written by Brooke Fraser
- Come Thou Fount - the writer of this old hymn is not known for sure although it’s been a long standing pillar of church music for quite some time.
