"that's the closest that we had ever come to AoG worship".
The role of the worship leader is to lead the congregation to worship God. Just like back in the songs if the old days.
The worship leader stops singing and the congregation continues.
And he gives cues at the end of each stanza so that the people (especially projector guy and congregation, not so much the musicians), are comfortable to know where it is going to flow.
