This list is based on reporting data from small to large churches in New Zealand across all denominations licensed with CCLI. Without a doubt, having a song land in the CCLI Top 100® is a significant benchmark for any Christian songwriter. While PraiseCharts tracks music purchasing in real-time, CCLI tracks the week-to-week usage of worship songs and reports on the results twice a year. The list may be static, and the songs might be dated, but it still represents a snapshot in time of significant trends in worship from churches all across the nation. See other country lists here, and find out more about copyright licences.

Here are some of the best worship songs that have been simplified for your summer worship gatherings.
