Worship Set Ideas: How To Put Together A Good Worship SetI’m sure there are many ways good worship set ideas. This is one I learned at a worship conference that works very well in helping people to worship our wonderful creator God. It’s good to start with ‘call to worship’ songs. Some good songs are ‘Come Let Us Worship’ or ‘Come, Now Is The Time To Worship’.
In the Lord’s prayer, it begins by focusing on the facts that God is our Father and He is Holy. Start with songs that talk of God’s attributes and greatness. Songs like ‘Indescribable’ or ‘Great Is Thy Faithfulness’ are good songs to use.
My preference, and what they also taught us in the conference, is to start with faster tempo songs, then end the set with slower more intimate songs. A fast song could be something like ‘Today Is The Day’. Slower songs to end a set could be songs like ‘Above All’, ‘Calling Out To You’ or ‘How Great Thou Art’. One of my all time favorite songs to end a set is ‘I Love You Lord.’
