FINAL Blog Post! (for now) Is it still okay to listen to secular music?

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Lyrics to GITF

I hope you have enjoyed all my posts this semester! I may just continue this into the new year because this is such a fun topic to look at as a young Christian! I want to leave you all with one more song that touches my heart every time I listen to it! It's a spiritual hymn that we all may know so well, but there is a different sound created by Kierra Sheard! Great is thy Faithfulness gives an amazing message, and if you want to know why, I have the lyrics linked up there for you! We have so much to thank God for as believers, and songs like these will cause us to reflect on that. Happy listening!


"Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness." -- Lamentations 3:22-23

Worship to Let Your Worries to Wander Elsewhere: Another Great Spotify Mix!

Worship Everyday Playlist!

I finally have the opportunity to share this amazing worship playlist with you! For this week's post, I 

will share a few of my favorite songs and how they contribute to the idea of worship allowing us to 

have peace and contentment in our lives as Young Christians.


Song #1: Waymaker by Sinach

"Waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness. My God, that is who you are."

Every time I listen to this chorus, I receive a simple reminder that God will always make a way in the

midst of whatever season we are in; he always keeps His promises and never will leave; this song is 

such a blessing to worship Him to! 


Song #2: Simple Gospel by United Pursuit

"I reach out and you find me in the dust. And you say no amount of untruths can separate us."

I love this song, for it reminds me of my high school years when I would, at times, feel unashamed 

for wanting to be so committed to serving Christ. However, this song reminds me that even when 

others laugh or ridicule me for doing the right thing in His sight, I should still rejoice, for there is 

"nothing that can separate us from the love of God", as Romans 8 declares. His Word is truth and 

life, so rejoicing in the simple fact that God sent His son to save us all is simply powerful enough to 

worship the Lord for who He is.


Song #3: Free by Kierra Sheard

"Mentally, you've captured me. In my mind, I am free. In my heart, if I am yours, I am free."

This final song definitely has always been a holy-spirit-filled, tear-jerking worship experience when  

I listen to this. The words are truly powerful, for as 2 Corinthians 3:17 declares, "Now the Lord is

the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." As followers of Christ, worshipping in 

the atmosphere of freedom is often peaceful and a reminder that no matter what we experience, we 

are already free if we simply believe God can do it. Kierra's prayer at the end of the song is 

especially powerful, for it signifies that there are young people in this world that truly have a desire 

to want more of God each and every day. 


All in all, worship truly solidifies our relationship with the Father, for it truly causes us to have a 

change of mindset about our current circumstances. There are also a few messages and prayers in 

this playlist that has definitely been significant for my relationship with Him. Worship music should 

definitely be a significant part of our lives, for it allows us to simply let go of our worries and feel the

presence of God while listening to music. Hope you all enjoy this playlist, and happy listening (and 

worshipping)!
