Christian song suggestions

I love my CCM music - love music in general to be honest, and enjoy a wide variety of genres especially by Christian artists because there's nothing cooler than the Lord is my shepherd rapped right?! (See God is Enough by Lecrae, verse 3 I think haha) So I thought it would be fun to create an organized list of some of the awesome songs I have somewhere on one of my playlists or have heard and really like. There's 3 categories - actual worship songs, inspirations/uplifting and upbeat/pop/rap. This is obviously just a taste of the huge amount of content out there, and some of my own favourites - please comment below if you have any other awesome recommendations, I'm always excited about new content to add to my playlists!

Music is so therapeutic and such an awesome tool. There have been several times where I've been going through something, or thinking about something or even just wake up and a song lyric comes to mind and I look up the song and it speaks God's truth and love straight into my situation. It brings such healing and is a huge mood changer - whenever I've gone through really rough patches I have been very intentional with what I listen to. There have been many days I wanted to throw my phone across the room because the uplifting lyrics seemed so contradictory to the pain I was going through. But it played such a huge part in getting through those seasons by actually pulling me out of my slumps from bopping along to something upbeat or in tears from the reminder of God's goodness through worship.

What you listen to consistently has so much power over your mind and emotions, so I really encourage you to evaluate what you listen to and have good and uplifting things going into your ears, so enjoy this list! Hope it brings some joy to your day! xxx
