Picking great songs for your congregation and worship band is one of the most important tasks of a worship leader. Great songs have a sense of God’s Spirit on them. Great worship songs make you want to sing them again and again. Great songs cause your spirit to rise in worship to the Lord.
I recently updated my 2015 list and the preferred keys for strong congregational singing. (Using the Rule of D: i.e. the top note is around a D). Here is my list in alphabetical order. Let me know what you think. What great worship song am I missing from my list?
There are 9 songs by Chris Tomlin, 6 by Matt Redman, 4 by Reuben Morgan, 3 by Paul Baloche and 2 each by Joth Hunt, Ben Fielding, Tim Hughes, Ben Cantelon, Brian Johnson and Steve Fee. Also, honorable mention to Jason Ingram who has written or co/written a number of these songs.
