Are you preparing for Palm Sunday and looking for ways to create a seamless, powerful opening to your service? I’m excited to my NEW Palm Sunday Call to Worship Underscore – now available in every key to fit perfectly with your worship set.
What’s Included
This new addition to Worshipscores includes:
- A beautiful piano underscore available in every key
- Full chord notations in the piano sheet music so your entire band can play along
- A written Call to Worship specifically for Palm Sunday
- Two audio demos: piano-only and full band versions
Why Use a Call to Worship Underscore?
The service begins, your pianist plays an inspiring underscore (with or without your full band) while you read a powerful Call to Worship that sets the perfect tone for Palm Sunday.
The underscore provides an emotional foundation while the spoken words prepare hearts to celebrate Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This combination creates a powerful, unified opening that flows perfectly into your first worship song.
From My Heart to Yours
As someone who struggled with improvisation for years, I know the challenge of those “fill the dead space” moments in worship. That’s why each Worshipscore is carefully arranged to be accessible for pianists of all skill levels while creating a professional, seamless worship experience. And with the included chord notations, your entire worship band can join in to create an even richer sound.
The Palm Sunday underscore captures both the joy and the reverence of this significant day in the Christian calendar. It’s designed to create an atmosphere of anticipation that mirrors what the crowd in Jerusalem must have felt as they waited for Jesus to arrive.
Perfect Song Pairings
After your Palm Sunday Call to Worship, transition seamlessly into these songs (the underscore is available in every key to match your selection):
- “All Glory, Laud and Honor” – This traditional hymn directly connects to the Palm Sunday narrative
- “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising)” by Paul Baloche – The chorus “Hosanna, hosanna” echoes the very words shouted on that first Palm Sunday
- “King of Kings” by Hillsong Worship – A powerful declaration of Christ’s kingship
- “All Hail King Jesus” by Bethel Music – Mirrors the royal proclamations of Palm Sunday
- “Is He Worthy” by Andrew Peterson – Its call-and-response style captures the anticipation of the Palm Sunday crowd
How to Use It in Your Service
PRAISE SET IDEA:
- Palm Sunday Call to Worship Underscore (piano solo or with full band)
- “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising)” or another song from the list above
- Additional worship songs in your set
- Prayer Underscore
- Palm Sunday-themed worship ballad
Listen to both the piano-only and full band demos at the top of this page to hear how versatile this underscore can be in your worship context.
Choose the underscore in the same key as your first worship song and allow it to build the perfect foundation for your Palm Sunday worship.
