At Immanuel CRC (Fort Collins, CO) we occasionally compile such lists based on our own use. Your post inspired me to look back over the past 16 weeks to see what we've repeated. 16 weeks is just enough time for favorites (commonly repeated songs) to appear multiple times. Not too scientific, but it gets me started on a review that we're due for. We do around 7 songs in a service, one or two of those being presentation songs. We will average one or two hymns per service, but in a 16 week period it's unlikely that we would repeat any one hymn. (So I share Joyce's quandary--although Amazing Grace does appear on our list.) We also have 5 teams that rotate (one of the teams working with a traditional choir). What turns out to be the case, largely, is that if multiple teams do a song, it gets done more frequently. Here's the rough preliminary list sort of in order. At the end of the list are one's done only once in the past 16 weeks, but likely to come up again in the near future.
Revelation Song
Mighty to Save
How Deep the Father's Love for Us
Amazing Grace (sometimes with My Chains Are Gone)
None But Jesus
Unashamed
By Faith
Lead Me to the Cross
Hosanna (Fraser)
We Will Dance (Ruis)
Interestingly, for whatever it's worth, four of these are from Hillsong and two are from Townend/Getty. Four are on the current (8/2010) CCLI top 25.
