Before we get into the setlist, let’s play a game …
I kept coming across songs in the list this week that, through some solid investigatory journalism and good solid common sense, I deduced were songs in French. With some inside knowledge that Paul Baloche has toured a bit in Francophone Canada, even recording a CD in French (check it out here), I made the assumption that this setlist was submitted by a Canadian. (If I am wrong about that, please call me out in the comment section.)
For now, I thought it would be fun to see if our readers could guess the names of the songs based on the French title and the songwriter. So, below are the songs. After you have made your guesses, scroll down to see the English translations. See how many you get, and post your score in the comments. And yes, I did most of the translations myself. Investigatory journalism is so easy these days with Google as a partner. Oh plus the setlists from this week are further down, as well. Please submit your setlist from this past worship service in the form below.
