What Are the Top Songs Sung in Churches Today?

I am always fascinated to learn what is taking places in churches across America. As I was yet in another church this past weekend and listening to the music as we worshipped together, I became curious. What do churches typically sing during their worship services? I began to do a bit of research and found the CCLI list by month. Since CCLI is the largest licensor of church music, I would say that their list is very representative.

Here are the top 25 songs for the most recently reported month:

1. How Great Is Our God
2. Mighty to Save
3. Our God
4. Blessed Be Your Name
5. Here I am To Worship
6. Revelation Song
7. Everlasting God
8. Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
9. Jesus Messiah
10. In Christ Alone
11. Your Grace Is Enough
12. Forever
13. Open the Eyes of My Heart
14. Forever Reign
15. How He Loves
16. You Are My King (Amazing Love)
17. Holy Is the Lord
18. From the Inside Out
19. Hosanna (Praise Is Rising)
20. Shout to the Lord
21. Come Now Is the Time to Worship
22. The Stand
23. Hosanna
24. Lord I Lift Your Name on High
25. Glory to God Forever

Are there any surprises on this list? What do you think of the current popular worship songs?
