hey there,
music is a huge part of my life. everywhere i go, i have music on. in my car, as i get ready for work in the morning, and even at work on my computer. i love it! it gives me an outlet to express my emotions. as it plays, i get so much joy from singing. mind you, i know i have exactly zero talent in that department, but it just makes me feel better. plus, it makes life interesting for those who are not so fortunate to have to actually hear me. lol!
i was hoping that you would all share the songs that mean something to you. if you have a favorite and want to share why they mean so much to you, please do. i could probably list about a hundred of my favs, but will limit myself to a couple.
right now my favs are:
hold my heart - tenth avenue north (this is the song that i love when i am hurting badly, it is like this song was written just for me to express my heart to god)
love is here - tenth avenue north (my fav part of the song is where he says: come to the lover you who want and you will want no more, i am sure i don't have to explain why that verse is so moving to me. oh, the video is pretty cool)
let it fade - jeremy camp
it is well with my soul - this is my fav hymn. i think it is more because of the story behind it than the song itself. it is very moving to me.
held - natalie grant
ok, i know i said i would only list a couple, but believe me, i could have put many more! please list your favorites here so i can look them up and have a listen. i plan on coming back to this thread when i get a new favorite one and encourage you all to do the same.
god bless you all,
sam

If I started listing favorite hymns and choruses, I'd be here all day, but agree about "It Is Well."
I really like Matthew Ward's "To The King." At a point in life when I was getting stressed over a more hectic schedule than I was accustomed to, I heard this song and realized that giving my life to God is a daily need, not just a one-time occurrence.

I agree with Truthseeker, there are so many it is hard to choose.
Two of my favorites are: Near to the Heart of God:
There is a place of quiet rest, near to the Heart of God; A place where sin cannot molest, near to the Heart of God; O Jesus Blest Redeemer, sent from the Heart of God, hold us who wait before Thee, Near to the Heart of God.
And: I am Thine Oh Lord:
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Of Christian hymns (I do listen to a lot of other types of music, however) my favourites are:
Augustus Toplady (1740-78): Rock Of Ages
I like the words and the music and it's very hard for me to describe why, except that it makes me consider how feeble I am and how my life depends on God. It makes me think of totally relying on Him and recognizing that I am nothing without God.
John Newton 1725-1807: Amazing Grace
It's heart-felt and the composing of it was a milestone in Newton's life. A former slave trader who became a Christian and the subject of a recent film.
Charles Wesley (1707-88): And Can It Be
I find all Wesley's hymns have life-affirming melodies and words. I like the way his tunes can go round corners unexpectedly.
Mary E Byrne, Eleanor Hull: Be Thou My Vision
I just like it. Hard to say why
Charles Wesley: Christ The Lord Is Risen Today
Life-affirming
Matthew Bridges (1800-94): Crown Him With Many Crowns
Lots of verses. I like lots of verses and a good bass line to sing.
John G Whittier (1807-92): Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind
It's a lovely tune and the words are inspiring. I think it aptly describes the compassionate heart of God, the one who mourns for his fallen world and longs to be reconciled to it.
John S.B. Monsell (1811-75): Fight The Good Fight
Another good bass line and an encouraging hymn. I need encouragement.
John Newton: Glorious Things Of Thee Are Spoken
Life-affirming, joyful, tuneful, excellent words
Thomas Chisholm (1866-1960) Great Is Thy Faithfulness
I like it because it makes me feel one with God. I know I am far from that but it is a hymn that helps me to aspire to being in greater harmony with God than I am.
William Williams (1717-91) Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
Another good one for a bass. Lovely rousing words too. Part Welsh so that accounts perhaps for a certain affinity with Welsh hymns.
William Rees (1802-83) Here Is Love Vast As The Ocean
I like it because it focuses on God and draws me into His presence through the Blood of Jesus. I can't approach God any other way.
John Bunyan (1828-88) He Who Would Valiant Be
I like it for its solid, dogged determined faith that looks the world in the eye and fears nothing except God.
Daniel W. Whittle (1840-1901) I Know Not Why God's Wondrous Grace
I like it's folk-like tune and the words for inspiring worship
Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871) Just As I Am
I know two tunes - both are good.
James Edmeston (1791-1867) Lead Us Heavenly Father Lead Us
Hard to say why I like it except it is good for training the singer to take long breaths without unmusical breaks.
Charles Wesley: Love Divine All Loves Excelling
I like the bass line and the words are very inspiring
Samuel Crossman (1624-84) My Song Is Love Unknown
I sense the humility of the person who wrote it. Humility is something I struggle with
Martin Rinkart (1586-1649) Now Thank We All Our God
I like to be reminded to thank God. The chant-like tune is striking and there are lots of verses
John M Neale (1818-66) (translator) O Come, O Come Immanuel And Ransom Captive Israel
Like it because it is very good for training the voice not to make unmusical breaks. It needs a lot of puff.
Charles Wesley: O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing
Life affirming.
J.S. Bach: O Sacred Head Surrounded (chorale from Matthew Passion)
Bach is one of my favourite composers and this piece is a very moving chorale from his Matthew Passion. It is sung by the choir, not soloist and I like choral music. I give the English and the German text for it at the end.
Charles Wesley: O Thou Who Camest From Above
Lovely music and words
Joachim Neander (1650-80) Praise To The Lord, The Almighty
I like the rhythm of it, the tune and the words
Samuel J. Stone (1839-1900) The Church's One Foundation
A very long hymn with a good tune. I like long hymns
John Ellerton (1826-93) The Day Thou Gavest Lord, Is Ended
Lovely tune and words
Henry W Baker (1821-77) The King Of Love My Shepherd Is
Based on Psalm 23 and very beautiful.
Fanny J Crosby (1820-1915) To God Be The Glory!
Focus on God, rousing hymn. Good to sing in cold weather when it's raining.
Matthias Claudius (1740-1815) We Plough The Fields
I like the words and the tune. I like hymns that harmonize well. This is one of them.
Joseph M. Scriven (1819-86) What A Friend We Have In Jesus
I like it and hard to say why.
Isaac Watts (1674-1748) when I Survey The Wondrous Cross
Very moving hymn. It makes me grateful for what God has done for me.
J.W. van de Venter (1855-1939) All To Jesus I Surrender
I like the rhythm and the tune. The words are very tough - surrendering is the most difficult thing for me.
J.S. Bach: Chorale: O Sacred Head Surrounded (Matthew Passion)
O Sacred Head Surrounded
By Crown Of Piercing Thorn!
O Bleeding Head, So Wounded,
Reviled And Put To Scorn!
Death's Pallid Hue Comes O'er Thee,
The Glow Of Life Decays,
Yet Angel-Hosts Adore Thee
And Tremble As They Gaze
German:
O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,
Voll Schmerz und voller Hohn;
O haupt, zu Spott gebunden
Mit einer Dornenkron'!
O Haupt, sons schon gezieret
Mit hochster Ehr' und Zier,
Jetz aber hoch schimpfieret;
Gegrubet seist Du mir!
Du edles Angesichte,
Vor dem sonst schrickt und scheut
Das Grose Weltgerichte,
Wie bist Du so bespeit!
Wie bist Du so erbleichet,
Wer hat Dein Augenlicht,
Dem sonst kein Licht nicht gleichet,
So schandlich zugericht't?

I'll probably get shot for this one - but please take it as a comment to use caution and discretion.
I used to be a huge rock and hard rock fan. Constant. My favorite band was the Rolling Stones if that tells you anything.
God convicted me greatly of listening to this type of music as it stirred and inspired the types of sins that I so desparately wanted to overcome. Weeding out one CD after another, I eventually was rid of all of it. Now I truly hate this kind of music and really can't stand to hear it at all. It is of a very evil source.
Well here it goes: one of the reasons I began to rid the house of this stuff (eight or so years ago) was because of a trip my wife and I took to New Orleans, Memphis, and Nashville. Part of it was educational about the sources of music - we are retired and actually had time to get into this. We had already begun to be convicted of our liffestyles, so what we found was really just reinforcement to continue ridding ourselves of this garbage.
Anyway, rock-n-roll beats - the drum beats - actually come from Voodoo. The drums used in that fashion were used to whip up a sexual frenzy at voodoo meetings in the outskirts of old New Orleans where as many as 500 would congregate. It was brought here by witchdoctors and followers of Voodoo from Haiti and originated in Dahomey. At the Voodoo Temple, they explain how the spirit of the serpent operates in the vibrations of the drums to cause a sexual fluxing in the soul's interiors. They actually say this in the open! At the Mardi Gras museum these themes are reinforced in their explanations of the sources and traditions of the Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Mardi Gras culture. In Memphis at the Rock and Soul musuem, the influence of the Voodoo drumming to the rock beat is further explored and explained how this vein of beat became the basis for merging other types of music into what became rock and roll.
The voodoo beats in rock and roll excite the sexual nature in a person. If you are trying to overcome intense sexual impulses, you may want to limit your exposure to the driving beats in rock music.
There is a real reason why one of the 90's Rolling Stones tours was aptly named "Voodoo Lounge." It isn't just the words - there is something much more sinister to rock and roll than one would perceive simply by looking at the performer. Now I realize there are many who are not aware of this and like rock and roll. And there are probably "lighter" tunes and beats that are not quite so intense to the system. God has to lead each person and I'm not telling you what to do.
For me, nixing the rock and roll entirely has probably contributed something significant to my enduring freedom. The stuff isn't there to stir me up.

wow wv, that was very interesting. thanks for sharing that.
i have no doubt that music in any form can be used to lift people up into a worship experience or be used to drag people down into entertaining sinful thoughts. i fully believe that the underlying message is the key to preventing yourself from being exposed to music that could damage your spiritual walk, not particular instruments. the origins of drumbeats may be for sinister purposes, but when it is used to glorify god, then it is taking something back from the evil one.
personally, i totally get your meaning tho. i too loved some pretty horrible bands in my youth. i started to name several here, but thought better of it. anyway, i rid myself of that kind of music. it has a way of penetrating your soul and putting terrible thoughts into your head. for me, i can only listen to christian music. period. i have worked with youth for many years and i can honestly say that you can tell the difference in a young person's life if they only listen to christian music and one that listens to any and everything. it really affects their attitude and seeps out in their behavior.
thanks again for sharing that. no, i have no desire to shoot you for it, i think you are wise to warn us to use caution. i completely agree with that.

Pretty much all I listen to is Christian music, I am not a big fan of the mainstream rap and hiphop, and I like hearing music that makes you feel good not music that makes you angry and upset.
Right now my favorite bands are- Kutless, Building 429, Casting Crowns, Third Day, Pillar, Lecrae, Fireflight, Skillet and Trip Lee.
My top songs at the moment are-
'East to West' by Casting Crowns
'Set Me Free' by Casting Crowns
'Who Am I?' by Casting Crowns
'Here I Go Again' by Casting Crowns
'Dry' by Kutless
'Take Me In' by Kutless
'Searching For A Savior' by Building 429
'Fearless' by Building 429
'Tunnel' by Third Day
'Born Again' by Third Day
'Better Than Drugs' by Skillet
'Those Nights' by Skillet
'The Last Night' by Skillet
'Take Me As I Am' by Lecrae
'Praying For You' by Lecrae
'Breathin' To Death' by Lecrae
'You Gave Me A Promise' by Fireflight
'Wrapped In Your Arms' by Fireflight
'When Tomarrow Comes' by Pillar
'Smiling Down' by Pillar
'Holding On' by Pillar
If I had to suggest only 3 of these songs though, I would have to say 'Praying For You', 'Set Me Free', and 'Those Nights' are the best. If you get a chance to, check out the lyrics for these songs.

Wow... I've been hearing stuff how drum beats came from Voodoo, but never heard of the true purpose of it and where it came from.
i fully believe that the underlying message is the key to preventing yourself from being exposed to music that could damage your spiritual walk, not particular instruments. the origins of drumbeats may be for sinister purposes, but when it is used to glorify god, then it is taking something back from the evil one. i have worked with youth for many years and i can honestly say that you can tell the difference in a young person's life if they only listen to christian music and one that listens to any and everything. it really affects their attitude and seeps out in their behavior.
I agree, in that music effects behavior and that you can reverse a type of music in order to glorify God.
Well, as for me, music is also a pretty huge part of my life. I listen to it almost all the time.
What is interesting is the major change I've made in my music. When I was younger, for some reason I was really religious and didn't want to listen to any music other than the classical radio station. That really bugged my sister, who's older  .
Well sure enough that changed! I got exposed to dad playing some good Christian (and if not Christian, then positive and upbeat) oldies in the car, and I'm like "I like this kind of music!". I'm a huge fan of classic rock music, or just music from several decades ago and not within my lifespan.
Then my friend dumped a bunch of random music on my computer, mostly random oldies, and I quickly began having favorites: Johnny Cash and Bob Marley at the beginning. Then I found an old Beatles compilation cd of their early years (before they went hippie and drug laden) and I quite liked that. Then I watched that psychedelic and somewhat controversial film "Tommy", and that made me a fan of the Who. I don't think Tommy is anti-Christian, I think it makes a great analogy, how a man becomes great, and sure enough starts getting all the glory to himself, but then his followers reject him, and he seems to turn to something or someone greater than himself, as seen at the end of the film.
Anyways, then I became a fan of them, and I also acquired Bob Dylan's three born-again albums. I fell in love with those. It was classic rock but with a powerful Christian message.
So time went on and I acquired more music, like Led Zeppelin and the Beatles hippie era stuff, which I, at the time, liked.
By that time, I almost exclusively listened to classic rock. Then I began noticing some things. If I would listen to classic rock for a while, I just felt like I was getting heavy in my spirit, like I needed something better and uplifting. I prayed about it, and started to wean myself off of it. I wasn't entirely successful. Then, this past year, I discovered Larry Norman and the Jesus movement in the 60's and 70's and all the excellent Godly music that went along. Then I discovered Keith Green and Resurrection Band (those guys rock!) and Phil Keaggy and many others.
Now I almost exclusively listen to them! Sure enough, I saw a change in how I listened to music. I couldn't listen to Led Zep anymore without feeling like a heavy feeling on me, so I got rid of them entirely (the guitarist Jimmy Page was deeply involved in the occult and Aleister Crowley). I've also stopped listening to the Who, though I will always have fond memories of Tommy.
As of late, I've been searching for good classic Christian rock in order to wean my friend off of listening to Jimi Hendrix and Metallica and AC/DC. I exposed him to Resurrection Band, and he said he never heard Christian music like that, and he loved it.
Nowadays, the only classic rock cd's I have are two Allman Bros albums and Tommy. I'm a guitarist, so I like to listen to guitar driven music. The rest of my cd albums are Christian  .
Not all secular classic rock is bad, but I'm certainly starting to lose interested in it.
I never liked the Rolling Stones .
Back to the real purpose of the thread! Sorry for straying off.
I really like Larry Norman's "Sweet Sweet Song of Salvation" and "U.F.O/I've Searched All Around"
And "What a Day" and "Take Me Closer" by Phil Keaggy... (those are hard to find nowadays, unfortunately)
"You're Love Broke Through" and "You Put This Love in My Heart" and "Rushing Wind" by Keith Green, especially Rushing Wind.
"Paint a Picture" by Resurrection Band.
"Blessed" by Lazarus
And I really like "It is Well" too. I like Jars of Clay's rendition of it on "Redemption Songs".

wow, snowblind, i love all those bands you mentioned. the only one i had not heard of was lecrae. i do plan on checking them out. i have to admit that i love hard music like pillar and skillet. it's not everyone's taste, but i get into it.
john, i completely agree that when you listen to secular music, it does affect you. that is why i try to stick with only christian. my son loves coldplay and he pressured my into listening it, i have to admit that i do like their music, esp viva la vida and beautiful world, but i don't listen to them much. your friend who likes ac/dc and the like might get into groups like skillet, pillar, the classic crime, and disciple. they are really great christian groups. it's funny, when i was younger, i thought the only christian music was old timey hymns, but god knew that wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea and he has allowed some very talented ppl to come up and share his love through their music.
be blessed guys!

Yeah I am more into soft rock and rap. My favorite songs from Pillar, Skillet and Kutless are the slower songs.
Lecrae is a hip hop artist, he has easy some of the best lyrics I have ever heard.
I used to listen to Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Rise Against, Chevelle, and Bullet For My Valentine, but I realized that that music didn't make me feel happy. A friend of mine from gaming actually was the one that first introduced me to Christian music. He told me to check out the music on his myspace and the first song I heard was Take Me In by Kutless and that song really ment alot to me. I can't remember all of the lyrics right now, but I do remember that when I first heard it I felt like I was not alone and there are others out there looking for the Lord to accept them.

Healer by Ten Shekel Shirt
Healer heal me
Savior save me
Maker change me
Lover love me
Cuz I'm so tired of living for
The kind of love
That only lasts for a while
The pain, the shame
Tear me up inside
Chorus:
So I fall on my knees
To get back on my feet again
And I cry out for You
Would You please speak to me
Healer heal me
Savior save me
Maker change me
Lover love me
Cuz I'm so tired of living for
The kind of love
That only comes and goes
But Your love
Your love lasts forever
Chorus:
So I fall on my knees
To get back on my feet again
And I cry out for You
To hear you speak to me
Yes I fall on my knees
To get back on my feet again
And I run hard for You
To enter Your rest

I just have to share the lyrics of this song... It's the best, we listen to it often as we continue with recovery. If you're DESPERATE FOR CHANGING your current life, FALLING EVEN MORE IN LOVE as you heal, LETTING GO OF ALL YOU'VE HELD ON TO such as porn, etc, COMPLETELY INCOMPLETE, but healing, HANGING BY A MOMENT because sometimes we all need help moment to moment or hour to hour, There's nothing else to lose ,There's nothing else to find , There's nothing in the world ,That can change my mind, because healing is the ONLY choice, the right choice...
it just fits!
HANGING BY A MOMENT
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me, now...
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you....
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you
