Earlier this year I shared some of the songs I enjoyed in 2020… so I thought I’d do that for 2021, as well. Instead of doing a big ginormous post at the end of the year, though, I thought I would spread out the joy a bit and share some of the songs now.
Also, I’ve linked the songs here in the titles so you can go ahead and check them out on YouTube right away! If ya want to.:)
Stay – Big Daddy Weave
Break my heart with what breaks Yours
Until You’re all I’m living for
Show me what it means not just to believe but to remain
I’m noticing that several Big Daddy Weave songs make my list of favorites! This is one of them – the reminder to stop living for myself and my own desires and instead remain faithful to God is one I need often.
Less Like Me – Zach Williams
Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can’t see past myself
Lord help me be…
A little more like Jesus, a little less like me
Another one about looking past oneself…
One Day Too Late – Skillet
Today I’m gonna love my enemies
Reach out to somebody who needs me
Make a change, make the world a better place
Cause tomorrow could be one day too late
The lyrics in this one… totally amazing and convicting.
Dream Small – Josh Wilson
Dream small
Don’t buy the lie you’ve gotta do it all
Just let Jesus use you where you are
One day at a time
Live well
Loving God and others as yourself
Find little ways where only you can help
With His great love
A tiny rock can make a giant fall
So dream small
‘Nuff said.:)
Help Me Find It – Sidewalk Prophets
Even when it hurts You’ll have Your way
Even in the valley I will say
With every breath
You’ve never let me go
I will wait for You
You’ve never failed before
I will wait for You
This song is one that blessed me greatly last year as I stared at graduation and all of the unknowns that lay beyond it. It’s a blessing to me again this year as unknowns continue to be an integral part of life.:)
I Lived – OneRepublic
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived
I don’t listen to a great variety of secular music simply because I’m pretty picky about lyrics, but this one I want to play on repeat! I love both the sound and everything the lyrics make me think of.
Lead, Kindly Light – BYU Vocal Point
I do not ask to see the distant scene
One step enough for me
Another beautiful song for seasons of uncertainty. Also… this arrangement is just incredible. It’s hard to beat well-done a capella music!
What are some of the songs you’ve enjoyed in 2021 so far?
