It's old but still good... you have to look to John P. Kee's "Show Up." I think you'll find some good songs there.

"Lift Him Up" by Hezekiah Walker
"Faithful is our God" by Hezekiah Walker
"Make me Over" by Tonex
"I am Healed" by Donald Lawrence
"Awesome" by Youthful praise
"Games" by Tonex

New Direction: Rain - "I'm Ready" written by Kirk Franklin is a good song to teach them.

Also, (Georgia Mass Choir Presents: YFC - Youth For Christ: Higher) is a great album that has a lot of material for youth choirs.

I repost this all the time for those looking for youth and especially youth choir songs to minister because I know it's hard to find songs to teach that are over their heads in the message and that relate to their ages. So here it goes...


You could choose to do a hymn and add your own flavor to it by adding a contemporary sound to it and making your own arrangement of it that suits your choir

*~ "This Is The Day" (traditional)
~ "This Little Light Of Mine"
*~ "Thank You Lord" by Mississippi Children's Choir
*~ "Praise Him" (praise Him when the sun goes down)
~ "Oh How I Love Jesus"
*~ "Lift The Savior Up" (Olanda Draper/Joe Pace)
~ "Higher Higher" (lift Jesus higher)

Here's a few simple songs that I think are appropriate for a children's/youth choir (most have very few words or harmony involved):


* Oh Lord We Praise You (Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir)

* Follower Of Christ (Florida A&M University Gospel Choir)

(click here to listen to clip:

* Victory Chant

* We Worship You Oh Lord (Youth For Christ)

* Throne Of Mercy (Mississippi Children's Choir)

* Lift The Savior Up (Joe Pace)

* Kumbaya (Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers)

* In The Sanctuary (Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers)

* I'm Holding On (National Youth N Praise Mass Choir)

(click here to listen to sample:

* Pslam 23 (GMWA Youth Mass Choir)

* Yes God Is Good (TM Mass Youth Choir)

(click here to listen to file sample:

* Blessed Assurance (Ruby Terry)

* Cry Holy (GMWA Youth Mass Choir)

* I Just Want To Praise You (Maurette Brown Clark)

Also some other old youth or children's choir standard are

Those are a few groups that I know of that have great music with messages that are geared towards children and youth choirs. You could also use songs by Hezekiah Walker, Joe Pace, John P. Kee, and soforth, but make sure that it's appropriate for those ages.

Thanks so much for that list of songs. I'm a new choir director trying to find some really good songs for my youth choir and after listening to these songs I think our youth sunday will be a blast. God Bless Everyone who contributed to the list.
