[Matt4JC]

Inspired by the CCLI top 25 thread, I thought of this topic. Now, I know most people probably don't keep detailed enough records to know what you do. But in your church (or youth group, etc., wherever you lead), what are the top 25 songs or so that you currently do? Here is our most frequently played songs over the past 2 years:

1. Indescribable (Tomlin)
2. Evermore (Hillsong United)
3. How Great Is Our God (Tomlin)
4. Cry In My Heart (Starfield)
5. Great Are You (Downhere)
6. All The Earth Will Sing Your Praises (Baloche)
7. Prince Of Peace (Imboden/Rhoton)
8. Grace Unmeasured (Sovereign Grace Music)
9. Consuming Fire (Hughes)
10. Holy Is The Lord (Tomlin)
11. Not To Us (Tomlin)
12. Beautiful One (Hughes)
13. Majesty (Delirious)
14. King Of Majesty (Hillsong United)
15. Unashamed Love (Ten Shekel Shirt)
16. Breathe (Barnett)
17. Amazing Love - You Are My King (Foote)
18. Til I See You (Hillsong United)
19. Jesus You Alone (Hughes)
20. Famous One (Tomlin)

23. Son Of God (Starfield)
24. Filled With Your Glory (Starfield)
t25. God Of Wonders (Byrd/Hindalong)
t25. The Stand (Hillsong United)


Up-and-coming songs that were heavily played at the end of this year that are sure to join this list in the next year:

I will have to pull up my spreadsheet tonight and compile that.

Out of curiousity, how is "Son of God" working for you as a congregational song? I've always really liked that song and started to teach it the the team last year, but got sidetracked by having to produce a Christmas musical.

It is working excellently. It was probably the best-received new song we did all year. The chorus really gets people passionate. "Jesus, Oh holy one, I sing to you forgiven, Savior, I'm overcome with your great love for me." The verses can be hard to sing, just make sure they aren't too low and you're good to go.

Good to know. Thanks! I think we were trying it either in G, or G capo'd at 1 for Ab. I will revisit it.

My church's playlist consist of about 5 songs, 3 of them are "here I am to worship" and the other two are some obsure songs that only the pastor seems to have heard about.
