20 CeCe Winans Songs For Sunday Morning

A great deal of CeCe Winans’ catalogue was written to be sung by congregations rather than performed at them. Here are twenty songs that work on a Sunday morning.

#1. Goodness of God

The modern standard her version carried into congregations worldwide, and the most reliably singable song in her catalogue.

#2. Believe For It

The Grammy-winning title track, built for collective singing rather than solo performance.

#3. Holy Spirit

Worship material that moved from services into her concert sets rather than the other way round.

#4. Way Maker

Another modern worship standard she brought to very large audiences through her live shows.

#5. Throne Room

Written for congregational use, with the accessible range that requires.

#6. What a Friend We Have in Jesus

The lead single from The Hymns in 2026, and one of the most widely known hymns in the tradition.

#7. Great Is Thy Faithfulness

A hymn about consistency, and standard repertoire across a wide range of churches.

#8. Blessed Assurance

A cornerstone of the Black church tradition CeCe Winans was raised in.

#9. Alabaster Box

Quieter material that works for reflective moments rather than opening a service.

#10. Mercy Said No

A song about grace arriving where judgement was expected, suited to communion or response moments.

#11. Pray

A direct call to prayer with no ornamentation, which is exactly what makes it usable.

#12. Never Have to Be Alone

Addressing presence in difficulty, which suits congregations carrying real burdens.

#13. More Than This

The song that named her 2026 tour, built around circumstances not being the whole picture.

#14. Heaven

Material about what comes after, frequently used at memorial services as well as regular worship.

#15. It Is Well With My Soul

A hymn written out of catastrophe, which is why it carries such weight in difficult seasons.

#16. How Great Thou Art

A hymn that crosses denominations entirely and appears in almost every tradition’s repertoire.

#17. Just As I Am

Built around acceptance without precondition, and standard at response moments.

#18. His Eye Is on the Sparrow

Long central to the Black gospel tradition and deeply familiar to her core audience.

#19. Precious Lord, Take My Hand

Written within the gospel tradition and among its most enduring pieces.

#20. Amazing Grace

The hymn most associated with gospel music generally, and one that needs no introduction anywhere.

The bottom line: What separates CeCe Winans from many artists of her stature is that a substantial share of her catalogue is genuinely usable in a service. She leads worship at a Nashville church, and it shows in what she chooses to record.
