10 Best Worship Songs
A few weeks ago I shared what I think are the top ten hymns of all time.
So now another list…What are the top ten modern worship songs?
When I say “modern,” I mean during the last two generations, so basically the last 25 years, since 1985.
Lots of folks are going to have a different top ten list than I do. So lots of potential discussion on this. But I wanted to throw this out there and get the conversation going. You can listen to Ken Coleman, Carlos Whittaker and me banter about this on the latest Catalyst Podcast.
Here you go:
1. Shout to the Lord
2. How Great is our God
3. Mighty To Save
4. Lord I Lift Your Name on High
5. I Could Sing of Your Love Forever
6. Holy is the Lord
7. God of Wonders
8. Our God is an Awesome God
9. Agnus Dei
10. Salvation is Here
Honorable mention:
How He Loves, Our God, Majesty, Sweep Me Away, Not to Us, Everlasting God, You Are My All in All, You’re Worthy of My Praise, Sing to the King, With Everything
What did I miss?
Love your list of modern worship songs. This is where it gets really hard to choose 10, all of mine are newer and there are tons of them. So I’ll just say that anything by Hillsong, Bethel, IHOP, Vineyard, Passion, Jesus Culture, ..within the last few years are awesome. Am a bit burned out on many of the older modern ones because it seems those are what everyone is still singing around here. Love your posts!
Ummm…I think I agree with your choices…and Becky’s list of artists…
But I want Israel Houghton/Israel & New Breed on the songs/artists lists. Does gospel and modern worship have to be separate categories?
I guess I just want a little soul mixed in with my passionate worship. =)
Thanks for all the wisdom and info that you share here!
[...] Coleman, Brad Lomenick, and Myself discussed on the Catalyst podcast, which released today, Brad’s top ten modern worship songs of all time. So I thought I would share mine, and you can share yours. Now I am making this rule, just so we [...]
Hungry: Falling on My Knees
and
Anything from Vineyard back in the day… Like Brenton Brown’s “Humble King”
I’m not trying to go too new, but a few new songs that I see sticking around for a long time would Never Once by Matt Redman, Your Great Name by Natalie Grant, and One Thing Remains by Jesus Culture. I think they’ll all be on the next list
1. How Great is Our God
2. Mighty to Save
3. Shout to the Lord
4. Blessed Be Your Name
5. Here I am to Worship
6. Revelation Song
7. Lord, I Lift Your Name on High
8. Open the Eyes of My Heart
9. I Give You My Heart
10. Holy is the Lord
Honorable mentions: In Christ Alone, Holy is the Lord, Forever, There’s Something About That Name (Gotta give Bill Gaither some love!)
No David Crowder? Oh Praise Him and How he Loves(I know it is by someone else) Thanks, Listen all the time.
