"Quality Worship Leading"

      I believe that there are a lot of qualities that should make up a "quality worship leader." First of all, they should not only be worshippers in public but also be true worshippers in private. Public worship should be an overflow of a person's personal and private relationship with God. A quality worship leader should be filled with scripture along with the spirit. They should build their life on godly character not on their talent. And they should be available for the spirit to move them during a service.
     A great example of a quality worship leader is Taya Smith. Taya Smith is a worship leader from Hillsong United. The video I picked of her was from a live performance of Even When it Hurts. Taya Smith clearly represents all the qualities I mentioned before. You can tell that her worship is meaningful and is true praise for the God she has a personal relationship with. She also seems so humble, giving all the glory and honor to God. She makes worship about Him and not about her own talent. She also definitely makes herself available to the Holy Spirit and allows herself to be moved by it. You can tell by the way she improvises or ad libs during the song. Her presence and performance carries so much power and emotion that you can't help but feel connected to the song and more importantly, to God.
