Worship Wednesday: King of My Heart

Image
For the past couple of summers the song King of My Heart has become a Thursday night staple. On Thursday nights at camp we enter into worship with a lot of emotions. The week is coming to an end and we are exhausted, yet not quite ready to go home. The camp pastor has spoken all week about God and a kind of love that is like no other. The chills run through with every "You are Good" that is sung. 2017 Camp Band singing "King of My Heart" Each week at camp we strive to create an atmosphere where our campers can come together and experience God in nature. This happens when we separate them from the rest of the world, encourage them to step out of their comfort zones, and teach them to sing and worship in a way that is often not done at home. At camp it is ok to dance and move, to sing at the top of your lungs, and fall to your knees overcome with emotions. We learn to open ourselves up to the ways that God is calling out to us. The stars are brighter, the world...

Worship Wednesday: I Just Wanna Be a Sheep

For the next couple of months we are going to feature one of our favorite Praise & Worship Songs here at Camp Horizon! Our hope is you will join us in a worshipful way today, learn something about what we teach at camp, and connect with God. I Just Wanna Be a Sheep is our first song. This has been a Camp Horizon staple for at least the last 12 years. Before coming to work at Camp in 2008 I had never heard of this song, and now I am sure it is forever stuck in my head! Even the years I was away from camp, I could sing and do the actions to this one at the drop of a hat! Songs with actions are fun and easy to to remember. Kids love them and we know these are the ones they annoy parents with all year long! :) I am sure if you have ever looked this song up to play for your kids, you have been told that it is not in the right order! That's correct is nearly impossible to find a recording of this song in the order that we sing it at camp. But this song is so much more than it...
