1. Wonder (spontaneous)- Amanda Cook, Bethel Music
First of all, Amanda Cook is awesome and super talented. This song is pretty mellow and simple, but has such a strong message. It's essentially a prayer asking God "may we never lose our wonder." It asks that we will always have that child-like awe of God's beauty and glory.

4. We Dance- Steffany Gretzinger, Bethel Music
This is such a beautiful song about the intimate and precious relationship we can each experience with our savior and Lord. It talks about dancing with Jesus essentially through life, as He guides and leads each and every one of us while we He holds us in His arms.
