How to bring a Christian concert to life

Sing Days of Elijah.
At the conference last weekend, there was some Christian artist whose been around since the 80's leading worship. She was alright, but kinda dull, and the crowd wasn't really getting into it, until they started playing Days of Elijah. It only took a couple of bars of the intro before the energy level in the place shot through the roof. See I like the song as well, but I didn't think it was THAT big of a deal. Apparently it was. And when she started singing, she had a couple of thousand backup singers singing right along with her. It was quite the amazing experience. At one point she tried to change it a little bit, just a subtle change in the cadence of the song, but it didn't work, the crowd was too over powering. It was a truly sight/sound to behold.

That song is peculiarly powerful. I love it, but yeah, I had no idea it was such a big deal.
