So many songs move me, but one I often sing is "Day by Day - your mercies lord attend me, bringing comfort to my anxious soul..." and "What a friend we have in Jesus."

My daughter played piano and would do contemporary songs, one family would do old time gospel, one uses her guitar and Boom Box for HillSong worship songs. And then every 4th week, the pastor's wife would have her turn and she'd get us into the hymn book. I like the variety.
