My playlist is long overdue, I couldn’t decide what songs to put on my list. I finally narrowed it down to these songs. I really love these songs I hope you enjoy them.
-
“I Told You” By Bemyoda: I have listened to this song on replay since Friday the 12th May. I really like the journey the lyrics take me on. This is one of my best lines in the song. ‘’Don’t listen for strange hearts listen for mine, I will be the voice that tells you to fight for life, for freedom’’. This speaks to me in this season where I have a lot of decisions to make and so many opinions.
- “Come As You Are” By Shane & Shane: I came across Shane & Shane; The Worship Initiative, Vol 12, by accident but if you are a believer in the fact that all things are connected, like I am, then I found it when I needed it the most. A line in the song sings ‘’Lay down your hurts, lay down your heart come as you are’’, this hit all the right spots with me, because of the hurt I carry around. I have sang it so many times and made it my prayer, to lay down my hurt and lay down my heart and just walk There are so many more lines of the song I love and I am sure they will bless you, so please take a few minutes to read though the lyrics below.
Come out of sadness
From wherever you’ve been
Come broken hearted
Let rescue begin
Come find your mercy
Oh sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home
You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are
There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table
Come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary
Rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t cure
So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home
You’re not too far
Lay down your hurt lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Fall in his arms
Come as you are
There’s joy for the morning
Oh sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home
You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are
- “What a beautiful Name” by Hillsong: Hillsong released an EP of different versions of the song, which I listened to nonstop for a few days, each version is different from the last and each gives a new appreciation of the name of Jesus, how wonderful and powerful the name is. ‘’You didn’t want heaven without us, so father you brought heaven down’’ This line helps me shift focus from all my shortcoming, not beat myself up too much on days I forget to have my morning devotion and just focus on the fact that God wants me, that God wants all of us. I also love other lines in the songs, so please read though the lyrics below and let the name of Jesus come alive to you in a new way.
You were the Word at the beginning
One With God the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You our Christ
What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus, You brought heaven down
My sin was great, Your love was greater
What could separate us now
What a wonderful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a wonderful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
How sweet is your name, Lord, how good You are
Love to sing in the name of the Lord, love to sing for you all?
Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You
You silenced the boast, of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring, the praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
You have no rival, You have no equal
Now and forever, Our God reigns
Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name, above all names
What a powerful Name it is
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a powerful Name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
You have no rival, You have no equal
Now and forever, Our God reigns
Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name, above all names
What a powerful Name it is
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a powerful Name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
