One of the most challenging things about leading worship is finding songs the congregation will engage with. There is a slew of worship music to sort through, so I wanted to share a few songs really resonating at my church right now. There are a few on the list you have probably heard of, but others you have yet to consider.

Your turn: What songs are resonating with your congregation? Answer in the comments below.
1. Open Up the Heavens (Vertical Church Band)
2. No Longer Slaves (Bethel)
3. The King is Among Us (Elevation)
4. Holy Spirit (Torwalt)
5. Good, Good Father (Housefires)
Hosanna seems to be one of the most engaging worship songs we've been doing. Also Housefires Good Good Father. Struggling keeping them engaged. We are a small church, God is growing us, only two of us leading worship. Acoustic mainly with a keyboard player at times. God has blessed this church! It is growing and the intimacy is amazing! Would love to hear of more songs that you are doing that people are connecting with! Thank you for all you share with us! It is truly a blessing!

Here are the most engaging ones for our congregation lately:
- The Rock Won't Move (Vertical Church Band)
- No Longer Slaves
- Bound For Glory (Vertical Church Band)
- I Need You I Love You I Want You (Tenth Avenue North)
- God With Us (All Sons & Daughters)
It's kind of funny - I don't really have a list. I am always surprised at how some days the congregation just sings a song and sometimes they preach it. This past week was "Great Is Thy Faithfulness". We were in tears trying to sing with them. As the Spirit so leads... 🙂
