Lighting Issues

So today I was running lights at my church in the link, everything was running smoothly durning worship and durning the middle of a song the lighting program went nuts. I calmly pushed a few buttons to fix it and sat back with confidence, to then watching in wide eyed horror as all the lights in the room went off and blackness filled the room. I scrabbled around for a whole minute pushing buttons and sliding faders trying to turn the lights and all the while the band still playing. I could feel the waves of irritation flowing from the band. I thankfuly pushed did the right combinations of buttons and faders and the lights turned themselves back on. I then sat back in relief for a few minutes and thought........ Wait! i'm still running the show! The rest of the time the lighting program gave me no other problems and afterward I apologized to each of the band members. What amused me is the answer back to my apology was "Yeah I was like, oh this is part of the show just keep playing........... why aren't the lights  turning back on." All of them where amused by it and one person thought it was cool and not a goof up at all! Needless to say I was thankful the worship pastor is still letting me run lights.
