A little help anyone?

Okay, here's the rundown.

I help out with a Christain girls' organisation and it is our 75th anniversary this year. So to celebrate this, my leaders want to record a CD of worship and/ Christmas songs that are suitable for the age range of the girls' and our mission (Which is simply to "Seek, Serve and Follow Christ")

I was foccussing on the Mission Praise songs that the girls' like to sing, but am coming up with things that simply wouldn't work in a recorded format. The girls' are organised in age ranges, 5-8 yrs, 9-11 yrs, 11-14yrs and 14-18 yrs; above 18 and you end up a helper like me! I need songs that would appeal to and are appropriate to each individual age group.

So far the only song there has been any agreement on is Lord Make Me a Mountain, and I am trying to get Shine Jesus Shine past them as well. Suggestions at this point would be really helpful, particularly for the youngest age group. We need 2 songs for each group; one for the helpers and an 'ensemble' one if poss!

Thanking you in advance!

Well to by honest, I do not know too many hymns...BUT, I do know TONS of Christian/worship music. I don't know if that would be acceptable but if it is, I will give you some songs that would go with each age group

"God of Wonders" by Chris Tomlin. That can go for anyone from in the two age groups, 11-18.

"If We Are the Body" by Casting Crowns. Again, anyone from 11-18

"Cry Out to Jesus" by Third Day. 11-18

"We Cry Holy" by Hillsong. 11-18

Now for your younger kids:

"Let It Out" by Phredd. For the youngest age group

"Dot You Love Jesus" by the Bigsby Show. They are also for the youngest age group

for the 9-11 age group. That is a little tricky. They are a little too old for the kiddy music like Phredd or the Donut Man, but they might not like the adult stuff like Casting Crowns or Chris Tomlin. Sorry but I do not really have any thoughts for them. Also, I am really sorry that I do not really know Hymns but if those songs I suggested are acceptable then that is good. if you have a question on Christian music (or music in general) then I am your guy lol.

EDIT: I just heard a song that would be perfect for you 9-11 age group. It is called "How Great" by Remedy Drive. It sounds perfect for the 9-11 age group.
