Music, Music, Music, Music, and Music :D

Alright so believe it or not, I have been asked many times what my favorite worship music is and what style/genre it is. Therefore, I decided to put all of my favorites up here. Some of them are in the playlist actually ON my blog, but most are not (Mainly because I was too lazy to go through playlist.com to add so many songs).

You may know them, you may not. But I love them :) Maybe you're not interested in this? I don't know. However, worship music was the first thing that made me feel like I was forming a connection with God, so it's obviously extremely important to me. Plus, I'm a music nerd....

Anyhoo, look these up if you wish. But don't just listen to the music in general. Dive into the lyrics and apply them to your heart. That's what worship is for, after all: to praise God and to write these lyrics on your heart. (Not literally, of course. You'd have to rip out your heart, and even then you wouldn't be able to do any writing.) But these are in no particular order. I know it's a lot, but they're all great. I love a lot of non-recorded songs too, but obviously I couldn't put them on here. And I probably left more of my favorites off of this by accident. Let me know if you have any suggestions for me! 

Indescribable - Chris Tomlin (I have a distinct memory of falling onto my knees and sobbing while singing this song. Seriously.)
All Creatures of Our God and King - David Crowder Band
Beautiful One - Jeremy Camp
Take Me In - Kutless
Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) - Chris Tomlin
In Christ Alone - Newsboys (I also have a memory of crying to this song. Obviously, I cry when songs really touch my heart.)
Strong Tower - Kutless
The Stand - Hillsong United
Give You Glory - Jeremy Camp
Praise And Adore - Wavorly
Surrender - BarlowGirl
You're Not Alone - Meredith Andrews (For the record, her voice is phenominal!)
How Great Is Our God - Chris Tomlin
Breathe Into Me - Red
Promise Of a Lifetime - Kutless
Everything - Tim Hughes
You Are Everything - Matthew West
Tonight - Jeremy Camp
Glorious One - Fee
Jesus Paid It All - Kristian Stanfill
Porcelain Heart - BarlowGirl
God Of This City - Chris Tomlin
From The Inside Out - Hillsong United
Our God - Chris Tomlin
Stand Up - Fireflight
All Around Me - Flyleaf
Praise You In This Storm - Casting Crowns (This one is dedicated to my non-biological mommy, Cassie. I love you!)
Sweetly Broken - Jeremy Riddle
Everything - Lifehouse (If you've never seen the Everything Skit, I highly highly suggest that you watch it.)
You Invite Me In - Meredith Andrews
Take Me As I Am - FM Static
My Savior - Sarah Reeves
A Mighty Fortress - Christy Nockels
Coming Back - Ben Cantelon
Never Alone - BarlowGirl (Personally, I prefer the acoustic version.)
Father, Spirit, Jesus - Casting Crowns

Now, these last two are my absolute favorites of all time because they literally changed my life. I never doubt the power of worship music because I've shown these two songs to people, and they've passed them on, and then these songs changed the lives of people I would not have expected. Never underestimate the power of Worship.

Cannons - Phil Wickam
Oh, Child - Nevertheless (This one is a song from God to us. It's a little twist, and I LOVE it.)

Now, anybody can write a worship song. But it's your choice on which songs you write on your heart.

Again, please let me know if you have any suggestions for me :) I love getting new music.
