Every worship leader needs a Bob. A Bob is someone who's sole purpose is to be what the team needs. A Bob sacrifices all for the team. A Bob will play whatever and whenever needed without a second thought. A Bob never complains. A Bob is selfless.
My Bob is Bob Solarz. He's my right hand guitar/bass/mandolin player. I can't think of one time in my ten plus years at Gloria Dei when Bob has not been what I needed. He has done this without question. Bob has been asked to play multiple instruments, to turn up, to turn down, to turn his amp around. To stand here, to stand there, to stand over there. None of that ever seems to be important to him, What is important, is what he thinks I need on that given Sunday to please God.
So it was so nice to back him up as he sang Matt Redman's If I Have Not Love this morning. I can't express how much joy I had in being what he needed for a change. I can count on one hand how many times I've asked him to sing. So this was a special moment for me as I know it was for him. He delivered a wonderful, and spiritual offering that I know the congregation appreciated.
My Bob's a blessing... and he was awesome as always this morning.

This is a great post Eddy - my "Bob" is Joe and your post is a good reminder to thank and affirm him for all he does for Christ and his people.

Thanks, Eddy. I have multiple Bobs, but I'm still getting to know my one true Bob. Can I have more than one? Is that too greedy?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure God knows how much we love and appreciate our Bob's... could it be that he gives us just the amount we need?
