October 18 service

I have a couple of questions regarding Sunday's service that I would like to get people's impressions on.

1. How did the service hold together?  Did the worship time mesh with the Word time, etc?  The reason I ask is because I did not have the text or sermon theme to work with at the time of putting the service together.  I didn't sense something disjointed or anything like that, but I am wondering if there may have been themes that were present even though they were not overtly planned that way.

2. Musically how did our time seem?  It was the Sunday of 6/8 time worship in the key of D. :-)  Seriously, the songs did flow one into the other.  Was that helpful in the flow of the worship in addition to the flow of the music?

As a reminder, these were the songs:

Pre-service:
 - Come, Now Is The Time To Worship
 - You're Worthy Of My Praise
Opening Worship Time:
 - Praise To The Lord The Almighty
 - High and Lifted Up
 - You are the Lord
Offering:
 - Our Father
Closing Song:
 - Beautiful One

3. Responses to the new-ish song - You Are The Lord?
Here is a link if you need to hear it again.



I took care to try to make sure all the songs were in a singable key.  There is probably no key that works for everyone, but hopefully the key of the songs was not a stumbling block to the message or the moving of the Spirit.
