The Internet is a great way of picking up new material to sing.
Well, maybe not new songs (we still have to trawl through plenty of ‘performance’ songs before we can find anything a congregation can sing) but it’s a good resource for finding new arrangements of the songs we already know.
It’s especially good for rediscovering hymns that have disappeared from the evangelical repertoire. There’s some really clever stuff out there, some of which can breathe new life into tired old tunes. I’m not going to recommend any specific sites, because I don’t want to give a definitive view of what’s good or bad, although it might help those who know my musical tastes avoid the sites I recommend. I think that as far as the Internet and Christian songs are concerned, I’m classed as someone who ‘doesn’t get out much’. However, this does qualify me as someone who’s able to give advice in simple language for like-minded Internet dummies.
