Hi...When we started our youth choir, we used a lot of songs from the Mississippi Children's Choir, Kirk Franklin and Georgia Mass Choir Youth for Christ. I will need a couple of days to post some of the songs for ya.
Check me out on Facebook at Virtuously Gifted and on Instagram at virtuouslygifted_215

Easy Harmony
« Reply #2 on: January 05, 2006, 01:36:02 PM »
Hey a while back I had the same question! I found that the easiest things for a choir like that were Timothy Wright songs. Most of them have simple harmony and then u can take it up from there.

Hope this helps!

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):


* I Give You Praise (Youth For Christ)

* 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:

* Throne Of Mercy (Mississippi Children's Choir)

* Lift The Savior Up (Joe Pace)

* Kumbaya (Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers)

You can purchase sheet music to several children's / youth choir songs at

*****************************************


Many of these songs you can request from your local gospel radio station, purchase the albums, or download them from Kazaa, Ares, Warez, Limeware, or any other P2P site.

**************************************


If you need songs for your youth choir (I don't know the ages that compose of your group ), check out albums by these artists:

Mississippi Children's Choir
* "Children of The King"
* "A New Creation"
* "When All Of God's Children Get Together"



Youth For Christ
* "Higher"
* "Love Comes In All Colors"



T.M. Mass Youth Choir
* "There's Not A Friend"
* "Send Your Annointing"
* "He's Been Good"


GMWA Youth Mass Choir [/b]
* "Win The World For Christ"
* "I Never Shall Forget"
* "Come Bless The Lord"
* "Lift The Savior Up"
* "Live From Philidelphia"
* "Live From New Orleans 2000"
* "New Orleans 2000" (a different album than the one listed above)
* " Live From Minneapolis"
* "The Best Of GMWA Youth Mass Choir Vol. 1"


(there are some songs that they also sing that are on recent GMWA albums...they've started combining all the songs that choirs sing onto one cd)

Walt Whitman & The Soul Children of Chicago [/b]
* "Live From The Opera House"
* "We Are One"
* "Live and Blessed"
* "This Is The Day"
* "Growing Up"
* "Generation X"
* "Reaching The Nations"


National Youth N Praise Mass Choir
* "National Youth N Praise Mass Choir"[/b]

Cathedral Children's Choir
(you can buy the cd and sheet music from ntimemusic.com )


Danny Eason & The Abundant Youth Cathedral Crusade Choir
* New Beginning"


Arizona Youth Mass Choir * "Eddie James Presents: Arizona Youth Mass Choir"


Tyscot Gospel Kids Presents... (they have many albums, some with themes such as Worship, Fun Songs, Action Songs...perfect for the little ones but not for a youth choir)


Shout Praises Kids Gospel
* "Shout Praises Kids Gospel Vol. 1"
* "Shout Praises Kids Gospel Vol. 2"


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.
