[Mugga Please]

I gotta lead worship for my group when i go down to mexico next week. What are some good songs that would be good to sing especially on a missions trip?

[bobthecockroach]

Almighty God, Whose only Son
O’er sin and death the triumph won,
And ever lives to intercede
For souls who Thy sweet mercy need;

In His dear Name to Thee we pray
For all who err and go astray,
For sinners, wheresoe’er they be,
Who do not serve and honor Thee.

There are who never yet have heard
The tidings of Thy blessèd Word,
But still in heathen darkness dwell,
Without one thought of Heav’n or hell.

And some within Thy sacred fold
To holy things are dead and cold,
And waste the precious hours of life
In selfish ease, or toil, or strife;

And many a quickened soul within
There lurks the secret love of sin,
A wayward will, or anxious fears,
Or lingering taint of bygone years.

O give repentance true and deep
To all Thy lost and wandering sheep,
And kindle in their hearts the fire
Of holy love and pure desire.

That so from angel hosts above
May rise a sweeter song of love,
And we, with all the blest, adore
Thy Name, O God, for evermore.

Oh wait, you probly didn't want hymns

I would just do regular praise and worship stuff... pay attention to what song your group responds to. On the last mission trip I went on All In All quickly became a theme song for the week... it was nifty

Guess I was thinking sort of the same thing. The last mission trip I went on we sang a lot of the familiar stuff, but I added a couple of new songs for them to learn while on the trip.

If you're thinking of appropriate titles... Shout to the North comes to mind.

When my church went to Mexico we did

I Will Overcome
Child of God
Light of the World
Heart of Worship
Let My Word Be Few

And so many others, just try some that you know well or ones that are easy to learn

Here's a simple little P&W song that one of my assistant pastors told me worked extremly well in India once. It's a simple 2 chord song, just C and F. It's called Praise the Lord Together . I recorded a little demo of it so you can hear how it go's.

Dude. I just came back from a mexico mission.

We did a song called Solamente en Cristo, Tu Nombre Levantare (Lord I Lift Your Name), and a few others. If you want the entire list, pm me, I can get it to you. Also, the kids love the translated version of Father Abraham.

i got back from mexico last week as well...you can do basically any song you do in regular worship and maybe throw in a few new ones...

some i would suggest would be...

may the words of my mouth
you said (shane barnard)
nations cry
sanctuary-i exalt thee
this is my desire
