worship song
Church music piece
A worship song is a piece of music intended for collective religious devotion, typically performed in Christian church services.
The term distinguishes contemporary praise music—often with simple, repetitive lyrics and modern instrumentation—from traditional hymns: The band led us in a worship song before the sermon.
Worship songs emphasize direct address to God and emotional engagement over doctrinal content.
