Celebration Day 4: Favourite Praise And Worship Songs

Favourite Praise and Worship Songs

Hey guys and welcome to The Faith Filled Friends birthday celebration! Each evening we will be posting a special birthday post, like this one. Tonight we have the privilege to discuss some of the greatest praise and worship songs of all times! We have listed our top favourites from both Praise and from Worship. It was so hard and we missed out on so many, we will definitely mention the ones on our list that didn’t make the final cut. Also, there is a particular order, that is the order I put them in (it is to make sure there is a good spread of diversity. If it is number one or number 10, it doesn’t mean it is better than another). Let’s dive into it!

Top Ten Praise Songs

1. God’s Not Dead- Newsboys

Who could possible skip by the Newsboys smash hit! This is a fantastic song that declares that our God is not dead but He reigns. A great song that is definitely helped by the movies by the same name.

2. Alive- Young & Free

Young & Free are still new to the Jesus party, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t produced some fantastic songs! “Alive” has great lyrics and is perfect for youth groups and iPod’s.

3. Happy Day- Tim Hughes

What a classic. Who hasn’t heard Tim Hughes, “Happy Day”? It is an amazing song that is about Jesus’ resurrection and our salvation. Perfect for Easter and perfect for praising our saviour.

4. Lion and The Lamb- Big Daddy Weave

Not often do I find a cover better than the original, but with “Lion and The Lamb” Big Daddy Weave hit it out of the park. With great lyrics, good music and an awesome guitar riff, what more could you want when praising our God?

5. Let It Be Known- Lincoln Brewster

Another fantastic cover of a fantastic song. This was sung thousands of times in probably every youth group, but let me tell you, I still loving hearing it. Lincoln Brewster has a was with awesome praise songs and great guitar solos. “Let It Be Known” is definitely one of the best!

6. Forever Reign- One Sonic Society

This is another great song that I have been singing for years. God really moves in this song as we declare that, “the riches of your love, will always be enough.” Beautiful.

7. Real Love- Young & Free

Young & Free come smashing in again with a second song on our list. “Real Love” is a fun song, full of energy that is about God’s true and only love. His love is all we need and He is all we want. It is a load of fun.

8. Your Love Awakens Me- Phil Wickham

Phil Wickham has produced some classics but “Your Love Awakens Me” from his most recent album is one of the best praise songs. “God’s love is greater, God’s love is stronger.”

9. Live To Praise You- Lincoln Brewster

What is not to like about this entry. With praise in the title you know it has to be one of the greatest praise songs… And it is. With amazing lyrics, upbeat music, a great guitar solo and the lyrics, “The joy of the Lord is my strength.” It is definitely worthy of this list.

10. This Is Amazing Grace- Phil Wickham

There have been a few covers of this great song but none compare to the original. The lyrics to this amazing song are honest and beautiful. It is the definition of a praise song as we declare, “Jesus I sing for, all that you’ve done for me!” I wish we sung this at church.

Bonus 11. Wonder- Hillsong United

Coming out of United’s most recent album, the title track, “Wonder” hits hard. It’s fresh, it’s fun, and it speaks a beautiful truth about our God and the world. It is definitely worthy of this list.

And The Faith Filled Friends top praise song goes to…

“This Is Amazing Grace” by Phil Wickham

Top Twelve Worship Songs

1. Cornerstone- Hillsong

“Cornerstone” is a beautiful song that declares that no matter what comes, our God is Lord of all. It is a beautiful worship song, and a great way to kick off this list.

2. Good Good Father- Chris Tomlin

Chris Tomlin took the world by storm with “Good Good Father”. The lyrics are rich as we worship our God. He is perfect in all of His ways, and we are loved by Him.

3. No Other Name- Casting Crowns

This is one of the greatest covers of all times. Casting Crowns really make this song shine as we worship God. There is no other name worthy to be praised that the name of Jesus. It is a powerful song.

4. You Redeem- Aaron Shust

After hearing this song I went and bought the album. It is a beautiful worship song that we can sing. God redeems and restores. He is our provider and will never leave us.

5. What A Beautiful Name- Hillsong

This is one of the most powerful and beautiful songs of all time. The name of Jesus is wonderful and powerful. “You have no rival, You have no equal. Now and forever, Our God reigns.” It is an amazing song.

6. O Praise The Name- Hillsong

What an incredible song. There is so much power and passion in all these songs but this song is above that. The name of Jesus should be worshipped and praised. He conquered sin and death for us.

7. Great Are You Lord- Casting Crowns

God has given us each and every breath, why should we not give it back to Him in praise? This is what this incredible song is based around and it is powerful. The lyrics and honest and heart felt. Great is our God!

8. Sinking Deep- V.Rose

It is important to find that quite space where you can soak in the presence of God. “Sinking Deep” is a beautiful song that worships God for who He is. It is a must hear. V.Rose’s vocals really make it soar and it is a beautiful cover.

9. Starmaker- Phil Wickham

One of the greatest songs of all times (in my opinion)! After hearing this song I fell in love with God once again and also worship. Worship is important and when we look at all that He has done we can’t help but stand in awe! “You reign over all the Earth.”

10. So Will I (100 Billion X)- Hillsong United

This song is another journey into the depth of God’s love. From the stars, to the animals, to you and me and of course that cross. It is a powerful and moving song of surrender. God loves us so much, we give our lives back to Him.

11. Death Was Arrested- Aaron Shust

Jesus conquered death once and for all on that third day. Aaron Shust delivers a powerful song about Jesus and the greatest battle of all time. We can’t help but worship Him!

12. Love On The Line- Hillsong

This is a great worship song. It is about how Jesus never stop chasing us. His love never fails. With great lyrics it is worthy of making our list!

Bonus 13. There Is A Cloud- Elevation Worship

Elevation Worship is amazing and their new album is exceptional. “There Is A Cloud” is a beautiful song that we can sing and draw close to God with. His spirit is within us and we want more of what He has to give us.

Bonus 14. Man Of Sorrows- Hillsong

A classic. This is an amazing worship song that really deserves to be on this list. We look at that cross and we see our salvation. The lyrics are extremely powerful and move everyone who hears it.

Bonus 15. Call It Grace- Unspoken

One of Unspoken’s greatest songs, “Call It Grace” is so beautiful and timeless. You can listen to it over and over and you just get more grateful for the sacrifice Jesus made. It is truly a beautiful song.

Because we have more worship songs we will say our top two favourites! And The Faith Filled Friends top two worship songs are…
