I don't know about you, but whenever I have my devotional time now, I always have a Christian artist or band playing low in the background. It actually keeps me better focused on the task at hand and makes my time with God even more meaningful. Music brings out so much within what I'm doing and becomes a soundtrack for my life; there are moments I can recall in my mind and remember exactly what I was listening to when they happened. My Jesus Jams are in several of those moments. Here's a list of Christian songs you need on your Jesus Jams playlist ASAP:
1. "From The Day" by I AM THEY.
2. "Oceans" by Hillsong United.
3. "Brother" by NEEDTOBREATHE ft. Gavin Degraw.
"Brother let me be your shelter,
Never leave you all alone.
I can be the one you call,
When you’re low."
4. "Love Came Down" by Kari Jobe.
5. "You Will Never Run" by Rend Collective.
6. "Nobody" by Selena Gomez.
Yes, this is actually a Christian song. Next time it comes across your playlist, really listen to the lyrics. It's actually a brilliant song for those who struggle with putting romantic relationships above their relationship with God, yours truly included.
7. "I Am Yours" by Lauren Daigle.
8. "Be Enthroned" by Jeremy Riddle, Bethel Music.
9. "You Make Me Brave" by Bethel Music.
10. "Abba" by Jonathan David Helser, Melissa Helser.
I heard this song for the first time last Spring at a Bethel concert in Virginia Beach. I've been absolutely IN LOVE with it since. It was such a God moment at the concert, with hundreds of people singing their souls out to God, and it just makes my heart smile every time I hear it!
11. "O Come To The Altar" by Elevation Worship.
12. "Jesus, We Love You" by Paul McClure, Bethel Music.
13. "You Don't Miss A Thing" by Amanda Cook, Bethel Music.
14. "TESTIFY" by NEEDTOBREATHE.
15. "Furious" by Jeremy Riddle, Bethel Music.
"Nothing can tear us from
The grip of His mighty love.
We've only glimpsed His vast affection,
Heard whispers of His heart and passion.
It's pouring out…"
16. "Pieces" by Steffany Gretzinger, Bethel Music.
17. "Beautiful Surrender" by Jonathan David Helser, Melissa Helser.
18. "Death Was Arrested" by North Point InsideOut, Seth Condrey.
This song was in one of the sets at my youth camp over the summer and I'm not exaggerating when I say everyone in my youth group adored this song. Just reading the lyrics, it's got something great about it, but then you listen to it and dimensions abound!
19. "So Will I" by Hillsong United, sung by Amanda Cook.
20. "Let Your Glory Fall" by Kari Jobe.
21. "Jesus, Your Love" by Kristene Dimarco.
