Sorry I didn’t follow the fill int the blank format! I’m still a little young in worship leading, so I don’t have experiences with some of the specific service that you mentioned yet.

Just found this site a few days ago. Great resource. Thank you!:)

To start – Happy day (Tim Hughes)
Easter – When I survey (Soul Survivor)
Missions – God of Justice (Tim Hughes)
God´s attributes – You (Tim Hughes)
I love to sing I live to lift your name (Merchant Band) following up by Praise Him (David Crowder)
Communion – How He loves (John Mark Mcmillan)

All of them in spanish…

And I agree with your toughts, I think as humans we tend to use what we domine, I like to sing songs that I know well.
The problem raises form the same human condition, our tendency to memorize and sing with our brains more than with our hearts.

I think good tools to help church to sing with their hearts are:
Slow down the tempo
Play an acoustic version
Use a worship video between 2 songs
Start the service with a slow song
Switch from a male singer to a female one
Change the dinamics of the song

At least these have worked for us…

Blessings!
