Here are our suggestions for songs to sing as you practice prayer. There are a variety of styles and traditions, new and old, songs that teach, and songs to experience prayer. Play these in the background as you go about your day, sing them with your family or group, use them in services or worship orders, or listen to them on your own. It’s always a good time to worship our Lord!
