Hymns can provide a rich depth to our praise and worship services. Many of these hymns have been modernized in their style but the message and the lyrics are the same. Sometimes the melody is slightly adjusted or the chord progressions are simplified to reflect the style of contemporary worship music. With these arrangements, you should be able to easily flow between hymns and choruses in a worship experience full of spirit and truth.

People love to cruise down the highway with their windows open and hands raised (well, at least one hand) while having their own private time of worship. On a practical note, artists will often record a special radio version of their song that is trimmed down to around three minutes. You won't find a lot of spontaneous repetition in these arrangements. Here is a list of our top praise and worship radio hits.

They should be perfect for your small group worship setting. Other acoustic arrangements available here.
