If there's one thing I love to do when I leave the house and head out on the road every day, it's turn up the radio and listen to one of my favorite Christian stations. It would be hard to find myself not doing so. My love for worship songs has become something relentless during the past few months. It's amazing to see how much one song can do wonders for your emotional state of mind when you feel a bit down.
There are just days when I need to be reminded of the fact that even throughout all of the obstacles I may be facing, my circumstances do not stop making me a warrior of God. Sometimes we need to be reminded of the tremendous sacrifice Jesus made for us on that cross and that His best wish for us is to always see us happy and joyful. Here are just five worship songs that I find constantly pick me up and let me know that everything's going to be okay even when it may not appear to be so.
1. "Overcomer" by Mandisa
"You might be down for a moment and feeling like it's hopeless. That's when He reminds you that you're an overcomer."
2. "Flawless" by MercyMe
"No matter the bumps, no matter the bruises, no matter the scars -- still the truth is, the cross has made you flawless."
3. "Even When it Hurts" by Hillsong United
"Even when my strength is lost, I'll praise You. Even when I have no song, I'll praise You. Even when it's hard to find the words, louder then I'll sing Your praise."
4. "He Knows My Name" by Francesca Battistelli
"True to who You are, You saw my heart and made something out of nothing. I don't need my name in lights. I'm famous in my Father's eyes. Make no mistake. He knows my name. I'm not living for applause. I'm already so adored. It's all His stage. He knows my name."
5. "Tell Your Heart To Beat Again" by Danny Gokey
"Let every heartbreak and every scar be a picture that reminds you Who has carried you this far 'cause love sees farther than you ever could. In this moment, Heaven's working everything for your good."
