Greetings Awesome Person,
If you're looking for a graduation song to put with that slide show or video for your graduation service, here are my choices.
Keep in mind, not all of these songs may be appropriate for during your church service, but better for youth meeting, so be sure to listen to the whole song, read the lyrics and pray about which song will make the best statement to your students, families and congregation.
