If possible, could you provide an age range, so that myself and others can supply songs that are appropriate for those particular ages, thanks!
I repost this all the time for those looking for youth and especially youth choir songs to minister because I know it's hard to find songs to teach that are over their heads in the message and that relate to their ages. So here it goes...
You could choose to do a hymn and add your own flavor to it by adding a contemporary sound to it and making your own arrangement of it that suits your choir. Here's a few suggestions
* This Is The Day"(traditional)
* This Little Light Of Mine"
* "Thank You Lord" by Mississippi Children's Choir
* "Praise Him" (praise Him when the sun goes down)
* "Oh How I Love Jesus"
* "Lift The Savior Up" (Joe Pace)
* "Higher Higher" (lift Jesus higher)
* Shake The Devil Off (Dorothy Norwood)
* Jesus Is Mine (Florida Mass Choir)
* Oh Lord We Praise You (Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir)
* Victory Chant
* We Worship You Oh Lord (Youth For Christ)
* Throne Of Mercy (Mississippi Children's Choir)
* Yes God Is Good (TM Mass Youth Choir)
* I'm In Love With Jesus Christ (Rev. Timothy Wright)
* I've Come To Praise Him (Cathedral Children's Choir )
* What A Mighty God We Serve
