These days, most of the great worship songs end up on a radio playlist somewhere in this world. People love to cruise down the highway with their windows open and hands raised (well, at least one hand) while having their own private time of worship. On a practical note, artists will often record a special radio version of their song that is trimmed down to around three minutes. You won't find a lot of spontaneous repetition in these arrangements. Here is a list of our top praise and worship radio hits.
Singing worship songs together in a small group is a much different experience than singing at church or in a concert venue.

They should be perfect for your small group worship setting. Other acoustic arrangements available here.

Hymns have been written all through the ages. Thousands of these songs have stood the test of time, uniting generations in a common voice of worship.
