How do I choose the right songs for praise and worship?
People come to church not to spend most of their time learning new songs but to worship. Include a variety of new and old songs in your line-up list. As much as possible, pick songs that fit for all ages, especially if your congregation is a mixed type. Plan worship songs that complement the pastor’s sermon.

Is a hymn a worship song?
A hymn is a formal song, sung to God in public worship, typically by the entire congregation. For our discussion, a metrical psalm also fits into this definition of a hymn. Technically speaking, a hymn consists of words only, while the music to which a hymn is sung is the hymn tune.
What makes a good worship song?
In most worship songs, the balance between rhythm, melody and harmony work like a pie chart. The more complex or larger one piece is, the easier or smaller the others are. Complex rhythms and lots of syncopation can be a stumbling block, but singing everything with a straight quarter note beat is monotonous.
