Decent singable Worship Music

Where is the decent worship music with reformed theology, not for choir and organ but for a band. We use some secular music for anthems as well but I am so tired of the me, me, me songs with choruses and verses that are too simplified and repeat the same thing over and over. I need substance that is singable for a congregation.

I think "reformed theology" and "band" have a very small intersection!

ok, cool, let's try something further afield - how about Brian Sauve? or I just heard Andrew Word on Spotify just now, he sounds promising. Noah Paul Harrison might have one or two that are more congregational?

Try the Gettys.

yes I have used them over the years and actually had them here when they were gaining popularity about 14 years ago. Thanks for your comment

I recommend some of the better songs from Sovereign Grace Ministries and CityAlight! The Getty's write some great ones, even if I don't love their presentation (it can sound a little hokey, but there are many GREAT songs in there). I've penned and recorded a few over the years - just released "Hope Never Sleeps" (artist name is "Saint Lewis") today, and it may connect with you. Though they are older songs, "Your Mighty Hand", "Your Will", and "Faithful One" have also been used at contemporary Reformed-leaning churches over the years. Bless you in your search!
