5 Christian Contemporary Songs That Are Awesome


Good music by fellow believers.


1. Through Your Eyes

Artist: Britt Nicole

Lyrics:

Get it together
That's what I say to me
I put on the pressure
You could do better
Be who You're supposed to be
But that's when You came in
Right when I needed You
Said all of the things that I was believing
Not one of them were true
You lifted my head up
I was keeping my head down
I didn't know love
But I do now
'Cause You stood right there
And then You broke apart the lies
You told me I had something beautiful inside
You brought to life the part of me I thought had died
'Cause You stood right there until I saw me
I saw me through Your eyes
I saw me through Your eyes
I saw me through Your eyes
So this is living
This is free
Not keeping score
Not anymore
Not since You rescued me
You lifted my head up
I was keeping my head down
I didn't know love
But I do now
'Cause You stood right there
And then You broke apart the lies
You told me I had something beautiful inside
You brought to life the part of me I thought had died
'Cause You stood right there until I saw me
I saw me through Your eyes
I saw me through Your eyes
You love me even when I fall apart
I can't explain it
That's just who You are
Don't want perfection
You just want my heart
'Cause You stood right there
And then You broke apart the lies
You told me I had something beautiful inside
You brought to life the part of me I thought had died
'Cause You stood right there until I saw me
I saw me through Your eyes
I saw me through Your eyes
I saw me through Your eyes
I saw me through Your eyes


2. Indescribable

Artist: Kierra Sheard

Lyrics:

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creations revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You place the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable, awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who sees lightning bolts and tells them where they should go
Or sees heavenly store houses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gave source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Incomparable, unchangeable,
You've seen the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God


3. Eye Of The Storm

Artist: Ryan Stevenson

Lyrics:

In the eye of the storm You remain in control
And in the middle of the war You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm
When the solid ground is falling out from underneath my feet
Between the black skies and my red eyes I can barely see
When I realize I've been sold out by my friends and my family
I can feel the rain reminding me
In the eye of the storm You remain in control
In the middle of the war You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm
When my hopes and dreams are far from me and I'm running out of faith
I see the future I picture slowly fade away
And when the tears of pain and heartache are pouring down my face
I find my peace in Jesus' name
In the eye of the storm
You remain in control
In the middle of the war You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me
In the eye of the storm
When the test comes in and the doctor says I've only got a few months left
It's like a bitter pill I'm swallowing I can barely take a breath
And when addiction steals my baby girl and there's nothing I can do
My only hope is to trust You
I trust You Lord
In the eye of the storm You remain in control
In the middle of the war You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me
In the eye of the storm You remain in control
In the middle of the war You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm
Oh in the eye of the storm
I know You're watching me
When the storm is raging
And my hope is gone
When my flesh is failing You're still holding on
When the storm is raging
And my hope is gone
When my flesh is failing
You're still holding on
When the storm is raging
And my hope is gone
Even when my flesh is failing
You're still holding on
The Lord is my Shepherd
I have all that I need
He lets me rest in green meadows
He leads me beside peaceful streams
He renews my strength
He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His Name


4. Give Me Your Eyes

Artist: Brandon Heath

Lyrics:

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city of lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touch down on the cold black-top
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere why have I never cared
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Step out on the busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide what's underneath
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work he's buying time
All those people going somewhere why have I never cared
Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been there a million times
A couple million lives
Just moving past me by I swear I never thought that I was wrong
But I wanna second glance so give me a second chance
To see the way You've seen the people all along


5. Soul On Fire

Artist: Third day

Lyrics:

God I'm running for Your heart
I'm running for Your heart
Till I am a soul on fire
Lord I'm longing for Your ways
I'm waiting for the day
When I am a soul on fire
Till I am a soul on fire
Lord restore the joy I had
And I have wandered bring me back
In this darkness lead me through
Until all I see is You
God I'm running for Your heart
I'm running for Your heart
Till I am a soul on fire
Lord I'm longing for Your ways
I'm waiting for the day
When I am a soul on fire
Till I am a soul on fire
Lord let me burn for You again
Let me return to You again
And Lord let me burn for You again
And let me return to You again
God I'm running for Your heart
I'm running for Your heart
Till I am a soul on fire
Lord I'm longing for Your ways
I'm waiting for the day
When I am a soul on fire
God I'm running for Your heart
I'm running for Your heart
Till I am a soul on fire
I wanna be
Till I am a soul on fire
Till I am a soul on fire

8 Christian Pop Songs as Catchy as Commercial Music


Snappy Christian music that gets your attention just as much as the stuff on the charts!


1. Love Broke Thru

Artist: Toby Mac

Theme:

I was living a destructive life until God's love found me and changed everything.

Lyrics:

I was feeling that, feeling that breeze
Singing like a song through the tall oak trees
It was just another summer night
Had to be the last thing on my mind
Yeah, I was all but lost in the moment
I was young and running wide open
It was just another summer night
Had to be the last thing on my mind
When love broke thru
You found me in the darkness
Wandering through the desert
I was a hopeless fool
Now I’m hopelessly devoted
My chains are broken
And it all began with You
When love broke through
And it all began with You
When love broke through
I did all that I could to undo me
But You loved me enough to pursue me
Yeah, You drew me out of the shadows
Made me believe that I mattered, to You (You)
You were there, You heard my prayer in that broke down dusty room
It was the first time I said, “I’m Yours”
The first time I called You Lord
Yeah, it was late in the summer when the northeast breeze
Sang like a song through the oak trees
Pennsylvania
She kind of caught my soul
Which had me a little more open than closed
Walls I built
Opinions I learned
Covered in the ashes of bridges I burned
Blind to the arrow that headed to my heart
But You hit the mark
I did all that I could to undo me
But You loved me enough to pursue me


2. Live Like You're Loved

Artist: Hawk Nelson

Theme:

God loves us and we can live freely.

Lyrics:

You're not the only one who feels like this
Feeling like you lose more than you win
Like life is just an endless hill you climb
You try and try, but never arrive
I'm telling you something
This racing, this running
Oh, you're working way too hard
And this perfection you're chasing
Is just energy wasted
Cause He love's you like you are
So go ahead and live like you're loved
It's ok to act like you've been set free
His love has made you more than enough
So go ahead and be who he made you to be
And live like you're loved
Live like you're loved
Live like you're loved
Live like you're loved
And live like you're know you're valuable
Like you know the One that holds your soul
Cause mercy has called you by your name
Don't be afraid to live in that grace
I'm telling you something
This God we believe in
Yeah, He changed everything
No more guilt! No more shame!
He took all that away
Gave us a reason to sing
Live like you're loved, walk like you're free
Stand like you know, who He made you to be
Live like you're loved, like you believe
His love is all that you'll ever need
So go ahead and live like you're loved
His love has made you more than enough


3. I Am

Artist: Crowder

Theme:

Holding onto God and being liberated because of God.

Lyrics:

There's no space that His love can't reach
There's no place where we can't find peace
There's no end to Amazing Grace
Take me in with your arms spread wide
Take me in like an orphan child
Never let go, never leave my side
I am
Holding onto you
I am
Holding onto you
In the middle of the storm
I am holding on
I am!
Love like this, Oh my God to find!
I am overwhelmed what a joy divine!
Love like this sets our hearts on fire!
This is my Resurrection song
This is my Hallelujah come
This is why it's to you I run
There's no space that His love can't reach
There's no place where we can't find peace
There's no end to Amazing Grace


4. All I need is You

Artist: Lecrea

Theme:

A comparison between how much we need God like a man loves his wife, all we need is God.

Lyrics:

Keep me in my time zone when my mind's gone
When I'm flying home
And I'm stressed out and I'm tempted to get that Styrofoam
And go pour it up, but you know what's up
And you know that ain't gone solve nothing
I mean Lord forbid I might fall or something
And I'm all or nothing cause (all I need is you)
To hold me down like bed straps to the psych ward
It's killing me but you still with me when I fight hard
And (all I need is you)
You digging me when I'm igging you
Get with me when my cars pulled
Coulda dealt with me but you fell for me 'for I fell for you
To keep me on that right path and the right math
Cause you plus nothing is everything
You my everything, saying
(All I need is)
You, ain't gotta question my allegiance
Cause the way you love me I could never leave ya, I need ya
By my side, thick and thin
Highs and lows, don't let go
We gone ride, we gone win
Don't know how, all I know
(All I need is you)
You, all I ever needed
You're all I ever needed
How did I fall in this?
No condition that get a mention but you offered this
Unconditional love, I swear I sell it all for this
I'm tryna keep it together, forgive my awkwardness
But umm, often this issue in me often is
Valley of shadows and I know they trying to pick me off in this
But all I need is you
It's funny just how off I get when I ain't riding with you
No adjectives for you awesomeness
They burning one for that burn out
This life in God, I'm all turnt out
Took time out to put time in so I turn to you when I'm worn out
All I need is you
You slow me down cause you know me now with my phony smile
And I'm acting like it's all copacetic
It's so pathetic, so juvenile
Know what you do
You keep me cool in the summer
When they be dressing less and I be wanting to show off and stunt
There ain't nothing to want, you give me all that I need
All I need is you to keep that fire burning for me
All I need is you
Ain't nobody gone get in the way
Put that on my money in the bank
Cause you do what them others can't
And I love that, yea
We gone ride till the rims fall off
Above it all, we can never fall, yea
Hold my hand, we can have it all
Hold my hand, we can have it all
You always pick me up when I'm feelin' down
You always make it better for me some how
All I need is you, cause all I need is you
(All I need is you)


5. Even If

Artist: MercyMe

Theme:

Being totally dedicated to God, even if things don't go our way.

Lyrics:

They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
And right now, right now I'm losing bad
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't
It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
‘Cause I know You're able
I know You can
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul


6. Never Been a moment

Artist: Micah Tyler

Theme:

God has never abandoned or left us and and always been there.

Lyrics:

I've been sinner
I've been a saint
A little bit of both every single day
I've been lost
But somehow I've been found
There's been some pain
Been some regret
Been some moments
I'll never forget
But when I look back
From where I'm standing now
There's never been a moment
I was not held inside Your arms
There's never been a day when You were not who You say You are
Yours forever, it don't matter
What I'm walking through
‘Cause no matter where I'm going
There's never been a moment That I was not loved by You
You've been the Rock
You've been the Peace
Always showing Your good heart to me
My days are marked by grace I don't deserve
You've been the price I could never pay
You've been the light that has led the way
No matter where I am, I am sure
So where could I go that I could wander from Your sight
Where could I run and never leave behind
Your all consuming
Heart pursuing
Grace extending
Never ending love
Your love
There's never been a moment, no


7. Stars

Artist: Skillet

Theme:

We can trust God with our hearts, He is so able that He can control the whole universe.

Lyrics:

You spoke a word and life began
Told oceans where to start and where to end
You set in motion time and space
But still you come and you call to me by name
Still you come and you call to me by name
If you can hold the stars in place
You can hold my heart the same
Whenever I fall away
Whenever I start to break
So here I am, lifting up my heart
To the one who holds the stars
The deepest depths, the darkest nights
Can't separate, can't keep me from your sight
I get so lost, forget my way
But still you love and you don't forget my name
If you can hold the stars in place
You can hold my heart the same
Whenever I fall away
Whenever I start to break
So here I am, lifting up my heart
If you can calm the raging sea
You can calm the storm in me
You're never too far away
You never show up too late
So here I am, lifting up my heart
To the one who holds the stars
Your love has called my name
What do I have to fear?
What do I have to fear?
Your love has called my name
What do I have to fear?
What do I have to fear?
You're the one who holds the stars


8. I Have This Hope

Artist: Tenth Avenue North

Theme:

Hope in God

Lyrics:

As I walk this great unknown
Questions come and questions go
Was there purpose for the pain?
Did I cry these tears in vain?
I don't want to live in fear
I want to trust that You are near
Trust Your grace can be seen
In both triumph and tragedy
I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You're with me and You won't let go
But sometimes my faith feels thin
Like the night will never end
Will You catch every tear
Or will You just leave me here?
But I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You're with me and You won't let go
So, whatever happens I will not be afraid
Cause You are closer than this breath that I take
You calm the storm when I hear You call my name
I still believe that one day I'll see Your face
And I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You're with me
I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You're with me and You won't let go
In the flood or the fire
You're with me and You won't let go

I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do!
