There are thousands of worship songs being written, recorded, and released every week. Some are powerful. Some are beautiful. Some become incredibly popular. But if you had to narrow it all down, which songs are worth preserving?
Imagine that you could only sing one worship song for the rest of your life. Not your favorite song for the moment. Not the song you've listened to the most this year. Not necessarily the song that elicits the biggest emotional response. Just one song. Which one would you choose?
We're inviting you to think carefully with us about the songs we're singing in and out of church.
What song is enduring?
What is biblically grounded?
What gives us words worth singing together?
What is applicable across generational differences?
What can be sung again and again without losing any meaning?
What song might still be worth singing 10, 15, or 200 years from now?
If you could only keep one, which song would you keep?

Disclaimer: God is worthy of being worshipped with a billion different songs, and actually commands that we constantly sing new songs. This effort is not intended to restrict our praise and worship, but to get us to think intentionally about what makes songs more meaningful, lasting, and useful for our worship together.
