Question:
My youth group is having an outreach where we will be taking kids from our school that are unchurched to see the chronicles of narnia. After the movie they will be coming to the church and our youth band will be playing. My youth pastor will present the elements of the movie and how they relate to the bible. then he's is planning on an altar call and the youth band needs and soft powerful song. We've considered doing "The beauty of Simplicity/ I could sing of your love forever" but i am concerned about unsaved kids not being able to respond to what those songs deal with. Any suggestions for a song for us to play during this time? It would be nice if it had something to do with salvation!
Thanks a bunch!
Answer:
My favoritest P&W song is "How Great is Our God". It's pretty soft, and powerful too. Or "You Alone" is good too.

A BEAUTIFUL simple, but powerful one is "We Fall Down" by Chris Tomlin.
"We fall down, we lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus...."

I was already considering this one but im not sure at the moment. The only problem with Shout unto God is i get a little loud on this one because its really powerful and i don't want it to be a distraction. I might add it to the regular set though.
I can't believe i overlooked We fall down im leaning towards it now
Answer:
Personally, I'd be a fan of songs like How Deep the Father's Love For Us, or In Christ Alone in that sort of situation.
Answer:
How Great Is Our God - yes, yes, yes.
Answer:
I'm in so much agreement on How great is our God. Not to take away from the other songs posted here I just feel deeply in my heart you should do How great is our God. I did How great is our God in (C) then to Majesty in (C) then back to the chorus of How great is our God last sunday and the saints blew the roof off so to speak. It's easy for the kids to respond to How great is our God. Our youth went to a retreat where they played it and still to this day when we play that song it triggers worship in them. I hope the kids you have will receive such an experience.
If you need the chords let me know.
Answer:
In Christ alone is a belter of a tune, fairly easy to play and stuffed full of simple to understand theology......
What could be better
Answer:
I really like You Are My Hiding Place (Im nt sure who originally does it, but I know it is on one of Selah's albums), In Christ Alone, and maybe even Everything by Lifehouse (from their No name Face album). Everything is a good alter call song, methinks, especailly with the build for the bridge.
