Hymns. Worship songs. We all know, love and sing them. So which are your favourites?
Aside from the obvious, “Amazing Grace”, there are two that have brought me a lot of peace, comfort and strength over the years and have helped me through my battles with my mental health.
“Because He Lives” reminded me to cling to God, to never give up hope that things would get better, and that life was worth living and enjoying.
“It Is Well With My Soul” reminded me to trust in God and to receive the gift of His peace and comfort.
“Your Name” is one of my all-time favourite worship songs. I thought it was the coolest song I’d ever heard as a kid and it’s still nostalgic to me. Plus it’s just heaps of fun!
I also love some of Hillsong’s older stuff like “All Things Are Possible”, “My Redeemer Lives”, and “Shout To The Lord”.
Who am I by Casting Crowns has been a favorite of mine for years, even when I wasn’t a Christian. I love the melody and the message that I’m so blessed to be here and loved by God.
Great topic. One song that has moved me recently is “Goodness of God” by Jenn Johnson/Bethel. It’s sometimes easy for me to think that God isn’t good or that he isn’t around. Lately, this song has been encouragement to remember times when God was more present, and to look ahead with hope.
I also like “Because He Lives” like you mentioned. “This child can face uncertain days because he lives” is probably my favorite line
I always feel the urge to sing along with “The Blessing” whenever I hear it! It’s my all-time favorite. I feel such a deep connection to it for some reason. That long “aaaaamen” just gets me literally every time.
