We want to make sure that the songs we use at Redeemer are not just theologically beneficial, and musically and vocally engaging, but also that they reflect the diversity of the Redeemer family and the ever evolving nature of worship music across the world.
All of this means that the list of songs we use on a Sunday morning regularly undergoes changes and new songs are added, which we hope reflect the season we are going through as a church at the time.
Below are some songs, both new and old, which we are hoping to introduce to Sunday mornings at Redeemer over the next few months, we hope this gives you the opportunity to begin to learn them and use them as part of your personal worship times too!
