In worship, we become more aware of who God is, and, in response, bow reverently before Him. The following songs can be used in the moments of worship within the divine service experience any Sunday—no matter the Bible verse or sermon theme—as they bring to focus who God is, and/or express our response to the truths of God.
Note that some of the songs come from our books, and some are suggested sheet music/octavos. Also note that this by no means a comprehensive list, but rather a quick reference resource when selecting songs of worship for worship.
All songs from the Adoration/Worship and Worship the Lord sections of the Hymnal and Celebration Hymnal are appropriate for worship, but the hymns below especially magnify God’s nature—or our response to His nature (i.e. “I Surrender All”)—and many work well directly following a call to worship (for a listing of calls to worship, see here):
