Favourite Worship Songs

I had quite an interesting experience when I went to church for first time and had an intense release of emotion during the music before the sermon when they sang Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) by Chris Tomlin. Since then I have listened to a lot of Worship music (mostly Christian rock) and really connect with it. Worship music is a way for me to connect with Spirit and release some pain, fear, judgement, and negative beliefs about myself and the world.

Going to Church has made me realise that the Spirit of God is what I’ve been connecting with my whole life, I was just more comfortable with other words like universe, angels, loved ones, and would direct my prayers to them.

I’ve always been spiritual and interested in the metaphysical. I was that kid who would ask the universe to decide what I should do, I’d toss an eraser into the air with yes, no, maybe on each side and ask it to tell me if my crush liked me or not. I always believed there was more than what we experience in the 3D world as humans. I always believed in angels and fairies and felt very connected to them as a child. I’ve seen angels before. Now that my heart has expanded a little bit and accepted some Christian teachings, I feel I have a more rounded perspective.

I’m never going to be that person who shouts “so good” during a sermon because I’m very introverted and am there to listen and observe, but I’m hoping to continue to open up and become more open with my body language, and hopefully the music continues to help with that.

I’ve listed some of my favourite worship songs below, but as I am new to Christianity I know there are a lot more songs out there to learn! Please leave any recommendations in the comments below.

Oh Come to the Altar (Live) – Elevation Worship O come to the altar / The Father’s arms are open wide / Forgiveness was bought with / The precious blood of Jesus Christ

I Could Sing of Your Love Forever (Cover) – Justin Bieber Over the mountains and the sea / Your river runs with love for me / And I will open up my heart / And let the healer set me free.

One of my favourite worship performers is Chris Brown from Elevation Worship. He comes from a line of Christian ministers so he was destined for where he is now. His voice and his passion really connects with me and I think he is the reason I have still been going to Church 18 months after going for the first time. “Oh Come To The Altar” is the song that made me want to be a part of it.

Although these are religious faith-based songs, I would love to get some recommendations for music that are more spiritually based as well!
