Do you have a favourite church song?
Mine is "Never Alone", by Philip Percival and Simone Richardson. The first time I heard it was at a men's convention a few years back, and I loved hearing a bunch of blokes belting it out. I think it's a really strong song, that you don't get sick of. Good words, that go well with good music.
My favourite bit is the first line of each chorus, where I can't resist letting fly with a bit of manharmony. I also like the fact that it was written by two good friends. Good job, guys.
In second place at the moment is "How Deep" by Stephen Altrogge. A simple but powerful tune that's easy to sing, and that's full of emotion, and with lyrics to match. I love the chorus, especially the way it drops down to the 'deep' Em.
I'm looking forward to playing in the band at church next week, as both of my favourites are on the playlist.

shucks!
'Never Alone' is definitely my favourite too Ben. I love how it goes through the story of the gospel and I also love the drum beat (I'm not knowledgeable in the area of music so I won't try and describe it).
I go through phases. Never Alone was a favourite too at one point. It is currently our keyboard player's favourite.
I have two at the moment - the first is the hymn Here is Love. I love the words.
Second would have to be Your Grace is Enough by Chris Tomlin.
I've also developed a renewed affection for Before the Throne of God above.
Our church's music collection is an eclectic mix of Emu, Hillsong, Sovereign Grace, hymns, etc, which is great in terms of being exposed to lots of different music.
