If you're anything like me you'll find 'favourites' really hard to pick...but have a go at listing your top 10 favourite worship songs of all time! It will be really interesting to see the cross over and repetition in our lists.
Try not to look at everyone elses lists before making yours though as this will probably sway your thoughts - no doubt the temptation will be too much to bear though :-)
If 10 is not enough, then feel free to list your top 20!
