Worship songs for Holy Week
60 songs churches sing for Holy Week, ranked by how many churches sing them.
Plan a set around Holy Week →Holy Week spans Palm Sunday through Saturday, tracing Jesus from the crowds shouting hosanna to the tomb going silent. A worship leader needs a range of songs across that arc, not just one mood, since the story moves from celebration to betrayal to grief inside a single week.
The 48 songs churches use across this week lean heavily toward the cross. The Power Of The Cross from Keith & Kristyn Getty and Hillsong Worship's Man of Sorrows top the list, joined by Chris Tomlin's At The Cross (Love Ran Red) and CityAlight's It Was Finished Upon That Cross, all four built for the same solemn weight.
