Worship
Worship music is contemporary Christian music written for congregations to sing together in church services.
Songs are simple and repetitive so a crowd can join in, with lyrics addressed directly to God, and they usually build from a quiet verse to a big chorus and bridge. The band setup is that of pop and rock: guitars, keyboards, bass and drums led by a singer. The style grew out of the Jesus movement of the 1960s and 1970s and spread worldwide through large churches such as Hillsong in Australia. Unlike other Christian pop, it is meant for group singing, not only listening.
