franciscanheart Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 [quote name='Theologian in Training' date='Jan 16 2006, 01:21 PM']This may be a stupid question, but what delineates a Praise and Worship song from a Christian song? Is Jars of Clay considered Praise and Worship, or Newsboys. Don't mean to hijack your thread, just curious. God Bless [right][snapback]857778[/snapback][/right] [/quote] [quote name='photosynthesis' date='Jan 16 2006, 01:33 PM']shortnun, did your kids ever sing "the happy song"? well, I'd say that Praise + Worship songs tend to be more like hymns, with a focus being something that a large number of people can relate to. Whereas Christian pop songs tend to focus more on individual musings... although i suppose that's how I think it should be. The Christian fellowship group I used to go to when I was in college used to sing Christian pop songs during P+W sometimes and it used to tick me off. [right][snapback]857784[/snapback][/right] [/quote] [quote name='Andrea348' date='Jan 16 2006, 01:39 PM']to me, the difference between p&w and a christian song is that praise and worship songs tend to be very repetative and easy to learn without seeing the words in front of you. [right][snapback]857788[/snapback][/right] [/quote] i think they've got it. how do i differentiate? usually a lot of artists sing the song and there are a lot of different versions. im open to anything though. just in case i forgot to mention: these wont be used for mass. these will be used for gathering purposes outside of Mass (during youth nights).

Anthony Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 [quote name='hugheyforlife' date='Jan 16 2006, 11:02 AM']Okay so I'm looking to find the most popular praise and worship songs. All you have to do is list your favorites. It doesn't matter if they're repeated -- in fact it's better if they are so I get a feel for (duh) the most popular. Thanks for your help! btw -- this is to help out the music ministry for our youth group. [right][snapback]857617[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I think the best praise and worship song ever is How Beautiful. My best friend's girlfriend introduced me to this song as she plays guitar. It's amazing. If you have a chance to hear it, you'll agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dspen2005 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 do u mean in the context of Mass? or just to be in the car, with the window down, belting out the tunes as loud as you can... if it is the former -- then none of them... if it is the latter, then i have quite a few.
