I've written some during the past few years, as has our Pastor - some are sung one time only, others have made it onto our regular roster...

I have written a couple of songs not necassarily for the praise team but i asked them to help me sings some of the songs i wrote, they sung choir parts and i did solos. It turned out so much better than i thought they would and the praise team seemed to enjoy them  :)

I've written some choir songs that our choir sings, and one of the songs is done more often by the praise team than the choir.

I went to a church some years ago, and they attempted to try a new song they wrote.  It sounded great in rehearsal, but the members just kind of had a blank stare, Prob, because they didn't know the words.

I think if I do attempt on my own, it would be something simple that everyone can sing along too or pick up really easy.

Sometimes when the spirit is moving and we're playing instrumentals, the worship singer would just make up something on the spot.
