Here’s some of my favorite contemporary worship songs!
Forgive Me – Tenth Avenue North
This song is about trying to go your own way, but realizing that Jesus is the only way. It reminds me of Adam and Eve in the garden after they sinned, but applies to all of us as well.
Favorite Lyric:
Tried my own way to live, to steal what you already give
I gave up the truth for a lie, traded the sun in for the moonlight
Give Me Faith – For All Seasons version
For me, this song is what worship is all about. Recognizing our weaknesses, and acknowledging God’s sovereignty.
Favorite Lyric:
Give me faith to trust what You say,
That You’re good and Your love is great
I’m broken inside, I give You my life
And I may be weak but Your Spirit’s strong in me
My flesh may fail, but my God, You never will
Oceans (pretty much the whole Zion Album) – Hillsong
Of course, you can’t have a list of worship songs without Oceans. The album is amazing, I listen to the acoustic version daily.
Favorite Lyric:
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
Shoulders – For King & Country
This song reminds you to take comfort in Christ. It has For King & Country’s unique percussion sound too!
Favorite Lyric:
When confusion’s my companion
And despair holds me for ransom
I will feel no fear
I know that You are near
When I’m caught deep in the valley
With chaos for my company
I’ll find my comfort here
‘Cause I know that You are near
Jesus at the Center – Israel Houghton
This is a simple song, but it brings life into perspective.
Favorite Lyric:
Nothing else matters, nothing in this world will do
Jesus You’re the center, and everything revolves around You
Jesus You
From my heart to the Heavens
Jesus be the center
It’s all about You
Yes it’s all about You
