Worship song for ceremony
Tue 24 Nov 2009 03:53AM posts 4
My fiance and I are Christians and are trying to find one or two well known songs to be sung by the congregation during the ceremony and I have no idea what to have.
I don’t mind Hillsong but my fiance isn’t much of a fan due to the repetative nature of the lyrics.
A third of the guests are not church goers and so some songs that present the gospel message are towards the top of my list.
Neither of us have favourite songs that stand out as good for a wedding where we will have one singer and one guitar as accompaniment.

what about ‘morning has broken’ by cat stevens. perfect for one singer and a guitarist. the lyrics are lovely too.

You good try the older good stuff like amazing grace and at a wedding I attended they sang the hymn how great thou art which is beautiful, creation calls is another song that is pretty and could be done by one person. This is a really personal decision and I hope you find something that you love

oh it HAS to be ‘In Christ Alone’. 4 or 5 versus, hymn style, so easy to pick up for the unfamiliar, and with skilled musicians and a bit of practice it can be so inspiring with a nice build up towards the end. Also, song all about Christ who is at the centre of your marriage.
Also ‘Rock of Ages’ is a favourite, for all the same reasons.
