Gospel Songs

As we were meeting the other day, we started talking about some songs that have helped us as we communicate the Gospel with our music. Here are some of the songs that were mentioned.

Because of Your Love - Phil Wickham

Our God - Chris Tomlin
Christ is Risen - Matt Maher
In Christ Alone - Stuart Townend/Keith Getty

Another song that I have really come to love this year is All I Have is Christ, by Na Band/Sovereign Grace. We do a different arrangement, but the lyrics are great.

We also discussed a couple of books that have been really helpful to me as I've been seeking to do a better job of consistent gospel proclamation through our worship.

Worship Matters: Leading Others to Encounter the Greatness of God by Bob Kauflin, (there is a link to Bob's Blog, WorshipMatters.com in the links section, it is also a helpful resource) and

Christ Centered Worship: Letting the Gospel Shape our Practice by Bryan Chapell

I pray that God will bless Memphis with an incredible day of worship tomorrow.

  1. Speaking of Sovereign Grace and Bob Kauflin...here is a link to breakout sessions and seminars from the WorshipGod Conference last year. There are some great topics you can listen to about worship, songwriting, etc.
