Currently, at my church we are not allowed to sing, they’ve taken the point of releasing the restrictions slowly. But I am hoping to do a songs of praise service, whereby people list their favourite songs and we fit in readings around those hymns. Below is the list of hymns I would like to include, but what hymns would you put in the ring if you did a similar service at your church if indeed you do attend church?
‘In Christ Alone’ is a bop, I love how it tells the story of Christ (in my church we sing the part about the tomb quietly and then sing the line “Then bursting forth in glorious day” very loudly, it’s awesome).
‘The Trees of the Field’ (will clap their hands) is kinda nostalgic for me, as is “Lord of Dance”. We used to sing them in primary school assemblies, and I don’t care what anyone says, it was way better than singing “You got a friend in me” from Toy Story for the millionth time.
My other personal favorite is “My Lighthouse” by Rend Collective. It was the song I became a Christain to (I was raised a Christian, but I believed for myself later on), and it can still make me cry.
There’s others, but this is long enough as it is XD
The only one of yours I don’t recognise is My Lighthouse. My favourite from your list is Lord of the Dance. We used to sing that along with Give Me Oil in my Lamp and He’s got the Whole World in his hands in our school assemblies.
I could go all day because I love hymns . We sing the Doxology every time we take communion at my church. Shane and Shane and Jimmy Needham have great hymn remixes if you wanna check them out (I can’t remember off the top of my head who sings what).
I love it, it’s one of the hymns we have on a separate sheet, its not in our hymns books, along with a hymn called Let us Build a house (also known as All Are Welcome), which I love, here it is if you don’t know it:
I have here a playlist of hymns I made on Spotify ages ago. It goes in order of my favourite hymns from the hymn book we use at my Church followed by other covers of those same songs.
Well, the regular type of church I go to doesn’t do hymns at all (which was the church I said that broke up)
The church I go to rn (well, they still haven’t started but…) is a Presbytarian church, it’s spelled wrong btw.
