Happy Monday!
A little while ago, I talked a little about why I make music part of my personal devotions time, and some of you asked for some recommendations for songs to use for intentional, personal worship. Well, today I’m finally sharing the list of songs that currently comprises my personal worship playlist.
I’m including some of the lyrics to each song, and if you click on the song, it will take you to the best YouTube version (theoretically, a lyric video) I could find!
“What a beautiful name it is,
Nothing compares to this,
What a beautiful name it is,
The name of Jesus.”
“Then on that day, what seemed as the darkest hour,
A violent hope broke through and shook the ground,
And as You rose, oh the Light of all the world was magnified,
As You rose in victory.”
“Then on third, at break of dawn,
The Son of heaven rose again,
O trampled death, where is your sting?
The angels roar for Christ the King.”
“No praise can define You,
No thought can contain You, God,
No other one is holy,
No other one is robed in righteousness.”
“And unto You, the slain and risen King,
We lift our voice with heaven singing,
Worthy are You Lord.”
“By Your Spirit I will rise from the ashes of defeat,
The resurrected King is resurrecting me,
In Your name I come alive to declare Your victory,
The resurrected King is resurrecting me.”
“Jesus, my Captain,
My soul’s trusted Lord,
All my allegiance is rightfully Yours.”
“Behold the bright and risen Son,
More beauty than this world has known,
I’m face to face with Love Himself,
His perfect spotless righteousness,
A thousand years, a thousand tongues, are not enough to sing His praise.”
“I come in simplicity, longing for purity,
To worship You in spirit and truth,
Only You.”
“And He walks with me,
And He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.”
My Worth Is Not In What I Own.
“I rejoice in my Redeemer,
Greatest Treasure, Wellspring of my soul,
I will trust in Him, no other,
My soul is satisfied in Him alone.”
“Spirit of the living God, come fall afresh on me,
Come wake me from my sleep.”
“Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise;
Thou my inheritance now and always.”
“I will not boast in riches,
I have no pride in gold,
But I will boast in Jesus,
And in His name alone.”
“Oh Father, use my ransomed life,
In any way You choose,
And let my song forever be,
My only boast is You.”
“Oh to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be,
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.
“Oh what a Savior, isn’t He wonderful?
Sing alleluia, Christ is risen,
Bow down before Him, for He is Lord of all,
Sing alleluia, Christ is risen.”
“In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.”
“You’ve been faithful, You’ve been good all my days,
Jesus, I will cling to You come what may,
‘Cause I know You’re able,
And I know You can.”
“You made a way when there was no way,
And I believe I’ll see You do it again.”
“Whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well,
It is well with my soul.”
“Jesus’ name will break every stronghold,
Freedom is ours when we call His name.
Jesus’ name above every other,
All hail the power of Jesus’ name.”
“See now, I was the man who yelled out from the crowd,
For Your blood to be spilt on this earth-shaken ground,
Yes, then I turned away with a smile on my face,
With this sin in my heart, tried to bury your grace,
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You,
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life,
But You love my anyway.”
“Grace unending all my days,
You’ll give me strength to run this race,
And when my years on earth are through,
The praise will all belong to You.”
“What grace is mine that He who dwells in endless light,
Called through the night to find my distant soul.
And from His scars poured mercy that would plead for me,
That I might live, and in His name be known.”
“My great desire is to be with You,
But this is the place You chose for me,
This is the place You chose for me,
To lift my cross and give everything,
This is the time You gave to me,
This is the time You gave to me,
For me to live is Christ.”
Have you heard of any of these songs? Do YOU have a personal worship playlist? Do you think you’ll start one? What do you think about including music in devotions?
With love,
