Lost in Worship II Album
I hope you find it very easy to enter into the worship of our amazing God as you listen to Lost in Worship II!
This album has thirteen original songs with the vocals and acoustic guitar done by Scott Brooks and with the improv flute done by his son, David, throughout the entirety of all thirteen songs – with improv C-flute on twelve of the songs and improv double pennywhistle flute on one of the songs.
Six of the thirteen songs are improvisational extended worship. So for example, you will most likely enjoy the worship of the first song and might desire for it to continue with some additional lingering worship. Hence song 2, which is improvisational worship based on song 1. The same is true for five other songs that have five corresponding improvisational worship songs. The only song that doesn’t have a corresponding improvisational song is song 5 called, “The prayer of my heart” – which is a sung prayer and therefore has a different focus from the other twelve songs.
People have found our Lost in Worship albums to be very calming and relaxing for them, and just overall therapeutic to their souls as they have found it easy to join in with their hearts in worshipping Jesus. In addition to this, they then find a desire in their hearts stirred to love Him all the more! Here are some thoughts people have shared about our first Lost in Worship album.
Linda Beck: "I have enjoyed listening to Scott and David play music for years. Their music is so unique and interesting to me. I have liked it so much that I have tried to get them to play at open mics which they agreed to do a few times. So, when I learned that they were going to record the album, I got so very excited! And I am so glad that so many others now have the opportunity to enjoy their music too! My desire is that their soulful and heartfelt music would help many towards a wonderful place of worship – with hearts in beautiful testament to Jesus!”
Abby Boyer: "I like Lost in Worship because it is undemanding music that puts me at peace while opening space for meaningful worship."
Ann Brooks: "I really enjoy listening to Lost in Worship. I find it very relaxing. It reminds me of Heaven and helps me to worship Jesus. I also really enjoy how agape love and relational freedom are interwoven throughout the whole album."
Bonna Brooks: "I love the Lost in Worship album, because it is such soothing and worshipful music to me. I love to listen to it and it has a way of relaxing me and making me peaceful, so that I am tempted to fall asleep. I also enjoy how it looks at God and who He is, and it encourages my heart to want to love and worship Him more."
Before I (Scott) could record the Lost in Worship albums, I first needed to learn an answer to the intriguing question of "Does God need our worship?" I personally think the following answer is very fascinating and I am very thankful that Jesus helped me to understand it!
In John 5, Jesus says that He (who is God), does not accept praise from humans. So, why in John 4 would Jesus say that the Father seeks those who would worship Him in spirit and in truth? If I start with the character of God outlined in the Bible, I see that God is completely humble and not an egotist in any way, but is instead complete in Himself (Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit). So, if He does not need our worship to feed His ego or to meet any need in Him, then why would He want us to worship Him? The short answer: “As a tremendous gift to us!” To explain…
In one of the songs I sing, “If You didn’t take the time to put me together, I simply would not be, so I owe You me.” So, my very existence is a gift from God to me. If it wasn’t for Him, I would not be! In addition to this, in another song I sing about the amazing payment of Jesus shedding His blood on the Cross so that I could be forgiven and eventually make it to Heaven where He will sustain my existence forever!
God could have created trees, animals, but not any humans. And if that was the case, then both you and I would not exist. But that Jesus took the time to create us and is willing to sustain our existence forever is absolutely amazing to me!
And if the most important thing to worship was a plant, then God would point us towards that plant as what we should worship. But it just so happens that the greatest thing is God Himself, and as such it is an incredible privilege for us to appreciate Him even a little bit. But we have no idea how great Jesus is! In fact, in a million years from now, those in Heaven will be learning even more about the wonderfulness of God!
So, to exist is amazing! And to exist forever is even more amazing! And to forever be growing in appreciation of our Creator whose greatness no one can fathom is more than icing on the cake!
After Jesus helped me to understand this answer about worship, He then helped me in writing the songs with very worshipful lyrics and gave me the following recording technique that seemed to enhance the worshipfulness of this album.
I looked to Jesus to help me to keep my heart very open to Him so that His love could flow through my heart back to Him as I worshipped Him.
To help keep it personal, the lyrics tend to use the more personal “I” instead of the less personal “we”. In other words, “I worship You, Jesus” instead of “We worship You, Jesus.”
The initial recording was only me privately worshipping Jesus with guitar and vocal – so as to help me to not be distracted by others listening or by thinking how others would eventually like the music.
I then added my son, David, with his improvisational flute on all 13 tracks. I really enjoy how the Lord has gifted David in his playing, and I hope you enjoy his playing too.
So with all of these things in place, I hope you enjoy how personal the worship is and find it very easy to worship Jesus as you listen to the music.

If you are curious about the equipment and the steps we took to create this album, we owe a debt to our friend Bill Myers who gave us great equipment recommendations. As such, we used the following equipment to record with:
1. Instruments: Taylor acoustic guitar, Yamaha C-flute, and a double pennywhistle flute.
2. Sterling microphones.
3. Monster cables with gold plated connectors.
4. M-Audio Fast Track to input the audio and output it over USB.
5. Windows laptop with the M-Audio client that feeds to the ProTools SE client.
6. Recording and mastering in ProTools SE and outputting separate high fidelity .wav files. One for each track.
7. Uploading the huge .wav files to CDBaby.
Lastly, I'd like to thank my son, David, for adding his worshipful flute playing to this album, my daughter, Ann, for creating the worshipful album cover (with palm trees having worshipful fronds up in worship), and Bill for his recording equipment expertise!
