In church services, few things are as moving as the congregation singing together. For me, I love the standards like How Great Thou Art and It is Well With My Soul (which has a brief shout out to "my lot", you can look it up.) Which ones are the greatest source of inspiration to you?

There are so many! Of course Amazing Grace,Be wtih me Lord, Hand in Hand with Jesus, In the Garden, God Will take care of you, and What a Friend we have in Jesus. There are so many others. Some songs appeal more to me depending on the circumstance of my life at the time. Some are special to me because they are my family members favorites, etc.. Some remind me of church when I was growning up or chorus when in school.

My favourite hymn has to be Amazing Grace. I think that this is because of the story behind it and what influenced it being written. John Newton wrote it and his life story was the main source of ideas for the hymn. He went from being a slave ship captain to being a Christian minister which just shows how powerful God's grace is.

For me is Because He Lives and great is Thy faithfulness. I love Great is thy faithfulness as it just reminds me of God's goodness

"On Eagle's Wings" is a hymn that really touches me. Something about the lyrics lifts me up and humbles me at the same time, and I am filled with something I can't describe.
