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!

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
