I love them all but 13 is one of my favorites even though it makes me cry. My grandma said she would be at my sister and I's babtisms. She died in January of the same year my sister got babtized, she wasn't there and that is the song they played, so it makes me cry.

Song 204
“Here I Am! Send Me”
(Isaiah 6:8)
1. Today men heap reproach and shame
In many ways on God’s fair name.
Some show God weak; some paint him cruel.
“There is no God!” so shouts the fool.
Who’ll go the name of God to clear?
Who’ll sing his praise for all to hear?
“Lord, here I am! Send me, send me.
I’ll sing your praises faithfully;
(Chorus)
2. Men make the taunt that God is slow;
The fear of God they do not know.
Some worship idols made of stone;
Some would put Caesar on God’s throne.
Who’ll tell the wicked what’s in store?
Who’ll warn of God’s great final war?
“Lord, here I am! Send me, send me.
I’ll sound the warning fearlessly;
(Chorus)
3. Today the meek ones mourn and sigh
Because the evils multiply.
With honest hearts they seek to find
The truth that gives real peace of mind.
Who’ll go with comfort to these meek?
Who’ll help them righteousness to seek?
“Lord, here I am! Send me, send me.

(CHORUS)
No greater honor could there be.
Lord, here I am! Send me, send me.”
THE WHOLE SONG WOULDN'T FIT AS ONE DETAIL! :)

LOL, whichever one we're singing at the time.
But I fell in love with #195, "This Is Jehovah's Day," the first time it came out in orchestral arrangement and was introduced at a District Convention.
Others include:
171 - "A Victory Song"
74 - "Jehovah, Provider of Escape"
208 - "A Song of Rejoicing"

I usually consider the one I'm humming or singing at that particular moment my 'favourite'- but I guess I have always loved Song 205 "Christ Our Exemplar".
The first melody I learnt was #59 "Appreciating God's Reminders". The JW who taught me the song used a slightly different tune- you can imagine my embarrassment when at my first convention the song started and I went like "Oh- I know this song!" but then couldn't sing along because I couldn't get the right tune....... :-D
I have learnt it now, but I haven't forgotten the 'wrong' tune- it holds tender memories for me (FINALLY finding the truth!!!)
What are YOUR favourites?

I have several favorites and they change from time to time. Right now one of my favorites Song 66 The Power of Kindness. I love the verse that says "As Jesus daily taught the truth,
He was both calm and meek,
With kindness taught the lowly ones,
Was mindful of the weak.His teaching gently, lovingly,
Refreshed and blessed the weary soul,
Caused sinful men to turn to God
With hearts and minds made whole."
It reminds me to be patient and kind in my ministry as Jesus was.
Another favorite is song 13 Christian Dedication. The last verse always brings a tear to my eye at conventions and assemblies.
We come before you, Jehovah,
To praise your name so great.
Disowning self, with humble hearts,
Our lives we dedicate.
You gave your only-begotten,
Who paid the price so high.
No longer as living for ourselves,
For you we shall live or die.
I also like #42, This is the Way because it is so comforting to "hear" that pleasant tone behind us saying "This is the way. Walk in it, YOU people,” in case YOU people should go to the right or in case YOU should go to the left. (Isaiah 30:21)

My Dad's favorite was Keep Your Eyes on the Prize. He arranged for it to be played at both his wedding and his funeral.

"Responding to Gods Love" - it escapes me at present, but I think it's #50.
It reminds me of going to the hall with my family and it ALWAYS makes me cry when it gets to that high point (where it says, No greater love had any, than he who gave for many, his life a gift at great sacrifice)
