Gospel Songs To Get You Through It

Music is such a powerful medium that the lyrics of a song and the instrumentals behind it can affect your whole mood entirely. You can go from sad to happy, from feeling down to uplifted and I've only realised that I haven't shared with you guys some of my favourite gospel tunes that have literally "saved" me this past week; and I definitely mean to be that dramatic.

Obviously I cannot share all the songs that have moved me, changed my life and or uplifted me all in one blog post but I can at least share with you the ones that have been on repeat continuously this week.


So here it goes:


1. My Worship - The Walls Group

This song is from their new album and as I was listening through the album, the lyrics to this song just touched me in a special way. I was having a rough week and I needed some encouragement and honestly I listened to it and burst into tears not because it made me sad but in the simplicity of the song, the lyrics spoke to me. It was my prayer to God and my worship when I didn't have the words.


2. I Wouldn't Love Me (feat. Kierra Sheard) - James Fortune

Now how I came across this song is a funny story. I had listened to James Fortune's new album but you know when you just skim and don't listen properly; well a girl in the flat below me was playing her music really loudly and I was about to go down and tell her to turn it down when I listened closely and realised that this was a tunee and I needed this song on my playlist. Once I listened properly, I really fell in love with the song, as simple as it is it just reiterates God's love for me.

3. Just For Me - Donnie McClurkin

Now this song is a classic that I keep coming back to and never gets old (if you haven't heard Donnie McClurkin's live in London album do yourself a favour and listen to that masterpiece). This song, so beautifully written, is simply a reminder for me, again of God's love.

4. How He Loves - Anthony Evans

This song is one of my favourite songs ever! So much so that I have about three different versions by various artists on my playlist, but this particular version is the ultimate one for me and is a song I listen to pretty much all the time. I could do a whole entire blog post on the lyrics alone but for now just close your eyes and listen to this song.

 "He is jealous for me. Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree. Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy." (Can we just take a moment to take these lyrics in please...PURE POETRY!) This song encompasses God's love for us entirely and honestly has helped me through hard times.

This list could go on until the end of time but these songs have stood out for me in the past week. I might make this a regular thing...let's see how it goes.

Be blessed x
