Some tips:
 We are looking for a congregational song, not a solo artist song, so think about the collective group more than personal reflection.
The song should  a) have a good hook, b) have a melody that is easy to sing for most congregation members,
c) have lyrics that are easy to sing, and d) be in an accessible key.
The best song length is less than 4 minutes.
Collaboration with other songwriters is encouraged!
