My Top 15 Worship Songs

I just read a blog post by my senior pastor sharing his top 10 favorite worship songs right now. It inspired me, and I decided to do the same... only problem was, it was impossible to pick just ten. So instead, here are my top 15 favorite worship songs right now, in no particular order.

#1. True Love by Phil Wickham. I heard this for the first time in the Furnace Prayer Room at our church. I was moved to tears by it, and still am. Favorite line - "When blood and water hit the ground, walls we couldn't move came crashing down."

#2. How He Loves by John Mark McMillan. Who doesn't love this song? He loves us. It's such a powerful revelation to receive... I hope I never get used to it. Favorite line - "If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking."

#3. Jesus Paid It All by Kristian Stanfill. This is another song that brings me to tears almost every time I hear it, and another revelation I hope I never grow accustomed to... He paid it all. Favorite line - "Oh praise the One who paid my debt, and raised this life up from the dead!"

#4. Yahweh by New Life Worship. Declaring to God who He is. We may not realize it, but I think it does something incredible in our hearts. Favorite line - "Ancient One, so amazing, unfailing You are."

#5. Dance With Me by Chris Quilala. Heard this for the first time at my youth group's fall retreat last year. It gave me a new understanding of what it means for Jesus to be the Lover of my soul. Favorite line - "To me you have run, my Beloved, You've captured my heart."

#6. I'll Always Love You by Phil Wickham. This song has become an anthem for me. Even when I don't feel Him, my heart is decided. I will always love Him. "Forever I will tell You, yeah I'll scream until it hurts, that I can't live without You, You are Heaven, I am Earth."

#7. Deeper by Delirious. This song always makes me smile. The lyrics just seem like something I would write. Favorite line - "And the wonder of it all, is I'm livin' just to fall more in love with You!"

#8. Highest Place by Desperation Band. This song always brings me peace. I love singing about how near He is. Favorite line - "In the glory of Your glory, I become like You are - it's overwhelming."

#9. From the Inside Out by Hillsong. I first heard this song around the time I was going on my missions trip to Jamaica. It has become another anthem of my heart. Favorite line - "My heart and my soul, I give You control, consume me from the inside out, Lord."

#10. You Won't Relent by Misty Edwards. This song makes me wonder how we would live if we really knew how relentlessly He pursues us. Favorite line - "For there is Love that is as strong as death, jealousy demanding as the grave. And many waters cannot quench this Love."

#11. Always Forever by Phil Wickham. A song I recently discovered by my favorite artist, I can't get enough of this. I want Jesus to be the love I need, the air I breathe. Favorite line - "I would lay down my life, just to be by Your side."

#12. Magnificent Obsession by Steven Curtis Chapman. This song is an old favorite. More than anything else, I want Jesus to be my magnificent obsession. Favorite line - "This is everything I want, this is everything I need. I want this to be my one consuming passion."

#13. You Are For Me by Kari Jobe. This is such a soothing song. On crazy days where I have trouble finding Him, I sometimes turn this song on to remember who He is. Favorite line - "I know that You have come down, even if to write upon my heart, to remind me who You are."

#14. Hosanna by Christy Nockels. While in Germany, God used this song to show me how great He is and how great His love is for His people. He is so worthy of our praise. Favorite line - "Break my heart for what breaks Yours, everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause."

#15. You Are My Passion by Jesus Culture. We sang this song at the Desperation conference this summer, and it's yet another song declaring my desire to make Him my one passion in life. Favorite line - "My strength in life is I am Yours, my soul delights because I am Yours."

Well, that's all fifteen. I hope that if nothing else, this has given you some new music to soak up. Enjoy.
