8 Worship Songs To Get You Through Your Week

Having been involved in Music Ministry both at home and here at Loyola for quite some time, I've come to love and rely on a playlist of a variety of different songs to get me through homework and just my general daily life. I usually pray through song or through journaling, so this playlist is pretty special for me. Here's a peek into my playlist, with some of my favorite worship songs.

1. I Will Lift My Eyes

Favorite Lyric: I may stumble, I may fall and get lost on the journey, and my path will surely lead me to the shadow of death. Yet, I will not fear the storm for you are ever with me, never leaving me to face my fears alone.

2. Restless Is The Heart

Favorite Lyric: Make us know our life’s shortness
that we may gain true wisdom of heart.
In the morning, fill us with your love.

3. Take Me As I Am

Favorite Lyric: Take, O, Take me as I am. Summon out what I shall be. Send your seal upon my heart and live in me.

4. Nada te Turbe

Favorite Lyric: Nada te turbe nada te espante;
quien a Dio tiene nada le falta.
Nada te turbe, nada te espante;
sólo Dios basta.

May nothing disturb you, may nothing admonish you. He who has God within does not lack anything. May nothing disturb you, may nothing admonish you. God is enough!

5. Ukuthuka

Favorite Lyric: Kulumhlaba we zono
Igazi like Jesu lin yenyez'

In this (broken) world of troube
The blood of Jesus flowed (so that you could have)

Ukuthula - Peace
Ukuthula - Peace
Usindiso - Redemption
Ukubonga - Praise
Ukutholwa - Faith
Ukunqoba - Victory
Induduzo - Comfort

Yes, I know I wrote the entire song here, but this song really speaks to me.

6. In Christ Alone


Favorite Lyric: No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

7. A Place at the Table


Favorite Lyric: For everyone born, a place at the table,
to live without, and simply to be,
to work, to speak out, to witness and worship,
for everyone born, the right to be free.

8. Canticle of the Turning

Favorite Lyric: Though I am small, my God, my all,
you work great things in me.
And your mercy will last from the depths of the past
to the end of the age to be.

There are literally thousands of worship songs, so if these don't float your boat, explore the vast collection of songs that gifted composers have come up with. Find what works best for you!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
