There are certain praise & worship songs that just stand the test of time– they’re the songs that are so popular and powerful that they’re kinda “must-haves” in the Sunday morning worship experience.
I’m talking about Fred Hammond’s “You Are The Living Word.” Or maybe Martha Munizzi’s “Glorious,” or Maurette Brown Clark’s “Just Want To Praise You.” And what about “Here I Am To Worship?”
They’re the songs that practically every church musician and congregation knows, across the country. They’re the go-to tunes, the never-fail songs of the modern day church experience.
I’m curious– in your opinion, what are some of the must-have songs in praise & worship???
Well we love "This is the air I Breathe", "I don't wanna let You go" by Dietrich Haddon, "He's Able" performed by Darwin Hobbs, "Lord You are Awesome" by William Murphy, "You are Good" by Isreal H. and New Breed, "Lord I lift Your name on high", and "How great is our God". We love to do a few more songs but I'll leave some for others to call out, lol.
"I Love You Lord Today" "Welcome Into this Place" "Lord, Prepare Me to be a sanctuary" "The Lord Is High Above the Heavens" "He's Able"
You Are good-israel and new breed. And I'm loving revelation song.
Here I am to worship Bow down and worship Him Agnus Dei ( Alleluia)
I'm thinking "Friend of God" "Let it Rise" "Awesome God (Helen Baylor or Rich Mullins)" "Open the Eyes of My Heart" "Shout Unto God" just to name a few. Personal Favorite "Lord You're Awesome" and "Chasing After You" Richard
At "The Temple", our "go-to" list looks a bit like this: How Great is Our God Oh, Thou Most High Chasing After You Arise, Oh God Salvation and Glory I Love to Praise Him I Came to Magnify the Lord Flow to You Lord, I Love You (Yes, I Love Youuuuuu...) I Give Myself Away (a new hit...took us OUT) Annnnnnnnd...I drew a blank, lol. I may have to add more later... Note: We also sing many of the songs listed by others...
Because of Who You Are I Worship You - Travis Cotrell Here I Am to Worship Bow Down I Love to Worship You - Clint Brown I am sure there other songs
My favorite is "Majesty" I can't remember who sings it but the lyrics are: I worship you....in the beauty of holiness....I lift my hands to you....for you are my rightousness....you are royalty....so I crown you King of Kings....your majesty. That is my FAAAAVORITE worship song. :)
Pretty much anything by Israel and New Breed and RIchard Smallwood, esp. Alpha and Omega You Are Good Center of My Joy Total Praise Rise Within Us I Love The Lord While I'm Waiting

It was Your Majesty by Bishop T.D. Jakes. I like this one as well.
Alpha & Omega O Come let us adore Him The Lord is High above the heavens Your love is higher than the mountains... Welcome into this place, welcome into this broken vessel... okay, I'll stop here but I've got a million more and now I cant stop singing!
Just out of curiosity...is that the "Oh, Thou Most High" from the T.D. Jakes "Run to the Water...The River Within" CD? If so, I am so jealous...LOL. I love that song.
Really love this site....so noticed quite of you listed the 'chasing after you song' never heard it before so I youtubed and yep its definitely a Sunday morning service winner.....just wondering though please who sang the original...y'all know there are 1000 versions of every song on youtube so its hard to figure out the original...
I believe that the original was recorded by Bishop Paul Morton and Full Gospel Fellowship featuring Tasha Cobbs.
Some old and new ones: "Breathe" "You Are Good" "Sanctuary" "Praise Is What I Do" "The Presence Of The Lord Is Here" "Testimony" (Rev. Clay Evans) "Moving Forward" "Bless The Lord" (Tye Tribbett-Stand Out) "Lost In You Again" (Fred Hammond)
My fav praise and worship songs are: Good- fred hammond's love unstoppable, In your Will by men of standard,Tis so sweet and ordinary just wont do-commissioned, you are the living word, let it rise and praise is what I do- william murphy, there is none like you, there's something about that name, I call you faithful-donnie mcclurkin, We praise you-the mcclurkin project, Lord you are awesome, moving forward, (You are God alone, glory to the lamb, never would've made it, the best in me)all by marvin sapp, he's done enough- beverly crawford and there are so many others.....

Hahahahaah!!! Hey, Dwayne! I need to broaden my horizons, huh? Alright! Make some suggestions! And they had better be good! :-) I was just up last night browsing looking for some new music. I'm wanting to really be careful right now about what music I listen to... it's got to be holy and pure for real. I need a mind-cleansing fast.
Oh I didn't know. I apologize. I only knew about the version on the Bishop T.D. Jakes album.
All worship songs from Donnie McClurkin.
No need to apologize, lol. You should definitely look up the original version though. I'm certain you'll love it! :-)

Hey Jay some of these songs I've never heard of, can I find these on youtube? The downward road is crowded and Let him breathe on you. I apologize but the title of "The downward road is crowded" made me a little tickled. I thnk the other is song is "What do you know about Jesus (he's alright)".
Jesus is MORE THAN alright. That is all. Not personal to you, Raven. That song has some serious Jesus-esteem issues.
