9 Inspirational Contemporary Christian Songs to Brighten Your Day
I have found some of the greatest joy in listening to Contemporary Christian music. It is so uplifting and such a dramatic contrast to flipping on any other mainstream station where it seems within just a few songs you (and your kids) must listen to songs about sex, using curse words and worse. See my tips on switching to Christian radio if you’re ready for a change!
But today, I wanted to focus on some of my favorite uplifting songs that not only are wonderful music, but whose lyrics will lift you right up out of a funk and help you praise God continuously (all while tapping your toes :)).
Here are my top 9:
1) Do Something by Matthew West
I love this song, but it’s a great motivation that if we want the world to change, it starts with us! We are God’s hands and feet in this world. Watch the video; it’s awesome, too!
2) Greater by MercyMe
“Greater is the one living inside of me than he who is living in the world.” “You are holy, righteous and redeemed.” Enough said!
3) Soul on Fire by Third Day
Let this song inspire you to light the spark of faith and set you on fire for Christ. As St. Catherine of Siena said, “Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”
4) Fix my Eyes by For King & Country
Also a toe tapper, this one always reminds me that no matter WHAT is going on in my life to keep my eyes literally fixed on Christ.
5) Build Your Kingdom Here by Rend Collective
This is particularly impactful right now with all we face in our country, as they sing “Heal our streets and lands. Set your Church on fire. Win this nation back. Change the atmosphere. Build your kingdom here, we pray.”
6) Speak Life by TobyMac
A great reminder of how much of a difference speaking positively can make in the lives of others: speak hope, speak love, speak life.
7) Multiplied by NeedtoBreathe
This is just flat out a BEAUTIFUL song! “Your love is like radiant diamonds bursting inside us. We cannot contain…”
8) Good Fight by Unspoken
Don’t feel like you have anything left to give anymore? This song will inspire you to keep on! “Keep fighting the good fight, keep letting your light shine…”
9) You Are More by Tenth Avenue North
Made some terrible mistakes in your life? This song reminds you that you are MORE than your past. “You are more than the choices that you’ve made. You are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create. You’ve been remade! This is not about what you’ve done, but what’s been done for you.”
