It is no secret that we live in such a fast paced world today. Often times this makes it hard to feel God's presence, see His works and hear His voice. This doesn't mean that our God isn't present in every aspect of our lives, nor does it mean His presence isn't fully alive in this world.
Through all of the busyness, it is important to realize that God speaks to us in a variety of ways. We simply must heighten our awareness to His ever present spirit on this earth.
Through countless experiences, I have realized that one way in which God speaks to us is through music. My experiences with Him through music are multiple. Regardless of what the circumstance may be, He miraculously introduces a song at just the right moment to help me with whatever problem I may be facing.
With that said, listed below are a few of my favorite Christian songs followed by my favorite line in the song. I hope these songs touch you as much as they do me!
1. Good Good Father – Big Daddy Weave
“Well I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide, But I know we’re all searching for answers only You provide,Cause You know just what we need before we say a word”
2. Keep Your Eyes Open – NEEDTOBREATHE
“Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You’ll never make it to the great unknown till you
Keep your eyes open, my love
So show me your fire, show me your heart
You know I’ll never let you fall apart if you
Keep your eyes open, my love”
3. It’s Already Done – Big Daddy Weave
“For the beat up and broken, the ones who stopped hoping, it’s already done, it’s already done”
4. Open Heaven (River Wild) – Hillsong Worship

Falling like a flood

Holy Spirit fire
Burn within my soul
As I call on Your Name.”

Lift my head to see Your glory
Lord of all, so beautiful

My shame upon Your shoulders
The power of sin undone
The cross for my salvation”

As heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
A war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken”

And take up my cross

For You, Jesus”

“I have heard You calling my name
I have heard the song of love that You sing
So I will let You draw me out beyond the shore
Into Your grace
Your grace”
