You Raise Me Up

You Raise Me Up

Jan 20, 2012

Oftentimes I like to listen to different music.  Really it just depends on the type of mood I am in.  Sometimes I like to listen to songs that are considered by many to be sad because they are relatable to how I can sometimes feel.  There are days when I just want to hear happy songs because I am in a super chipper mood.  Then there are times when I could listen to practically anything that comes on.  Do you do the same thing as I do?  Sure you do!  Some of my favorite music to listen to is praise and worship music.  There is nothing that puts a smile on my face faster than a song that sings about the love of the Father and my Savior Jesus Christ.  

Songs that really touch my heart and make me happy are some of the greatest songs out there.  There are a lot of Christian music artists, and songs come in all types of genres.  If you are looking for songs that will raise you up and give you a boost overall, start with some of these.

  • Third Day – If you like rock music, then Third Day is probably for you.  The lead singer’s rough voice pairs with the music perfectly.  The lyrics are enough to make you think about the amazingness of God and His love, but you will enjoy it all around.
  • Addison Road – For those who like to listen to pop music, Addison Road is a great choice.  This band has the pop sounds that you typically enjoy and puts the sound to great meaningful lyrics.
  • TobyMac – So maybe you think praise and worship songs are nothing like the hip hop that you love.  Well if you say that, you are wrong.  TobyMac puts a hip hop twist on his praise and worship songs so you can sing along to an awesome beat.

I love that Christian music does not have to fit in a little box anymore.  There are so many artists and bands that bring Christian praise and worship songs that make it more than just music.  It is music that inspires and gives hope.  What more could you ask for from the music that you listen to?

So turn on the praise and worship music and make a joyful noise!  You will find that your mood will improve and you will feel full of happiness and gratefulness.
