During our current summer series, we said that spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3;16) reveal the intent of our heart. They are rooted in the Scriptures and link our belief and our will together, as an expression of a longing to follow God’s Word and His ways. In my previous post, I shared with you some of the great hymns of our faith that reasonate deeply with me. Below is a list spiritual songs that also connect powerfully with my heart.
Sole Desire - Walt Harrah
You’re the sole desire of my heart
Lord, speak to me I’m standing still
I come to hear, reveal Your will
I’ll listen to Your voice and then obey
With these simple words, I am reminded that God does speak, that His Word to me is precious and that I need to listen and obey. I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying. (85:8 - NLT)
I Give You My Heart - Reuben Morgan
This is my desire to honour You
Lord with all my heart I worship You
I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. (Psalm 146:2)
In the words of A.W. Tozer…I cannot speak for you, but I want to be among those who worship...I would rather worship God than do any other thing I know of in this whole world.
O Lord, You're Beautiful - Keith Green
Oh Lord You're beautiful, Your face is all I seek
And when Your eyes are on this child, Your grace abounds to me
Words cannot fully express my desire to embrace the beauty and grace of the Lord Jesus. In the words of the psalmist: One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. (Psalm 27:4)
Emmanuel - Bob McGee
Emmanuel, Emmanuel, His name is called Emmanuel
God with us revealed in us, His name is called Emmanuel
Can there be a more precious truth than to know, God is with us? And, If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)
His Name is Wonderful - Audrey Mieir
His name is Wonderful, Jesus my Lord
Like many of these worships songs that focus on the name of our Lord, this song speaks of our Lord as the Mighty King, Master of everything, the great Shepherd, the Rock of all ages, Almighty God. Our hearts and minds are drawn to the great Shepherd of the sheep (Hebrews 13:20).
Majesty - Jack Hayford
Majesty, worship His majesty, unto Jesus be all glory, honor, and praise
Both the words of Hayford's song and the tune lift us to see the slendor and glory of our Lord.
We see Jesus...now crowned with glory and honor. (Hebrews 2:9)
No Higher Calling - Greg Gulley and Lenny LeBlanc
Down at Your feet, Oh Lord, ss the most high place
In Your presence Lord, I seek Your face
As I shared with you in week one of this series, worship is my heart beat. I can't read music, or play an instrument, but worship is my heart beat. This song expresses perfectly the my desire to worship our Lord.
There is no higher calling, no greater honor, than to bow and kneel before Your throne
I'm amazed at Your glory, embraced by Your mercy, Oh Lord, I live to worship You
Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. (Psalm 103:1 - NLT)
Make Me a Servant - Kelly Willard
Make me a servant, humble and meek
Lord, let me lift up, those who are weak
And may the prayer of my heart always be
Make me a servant, make me a servant, make me a servant, today
The challenges of ministry, of seeking to serve others, is something I am constantly aware of as I seek to live out the words of Galatians 5:13 to serve one another humbly in love. This simple song, serves a daily prayer for me.
Awesome in This Place - Dave Billington
You are awesome in this place Mighty God
You are awesome in this place Abba Father
You are worthy of all our praise, to You our lives we raise
You are awesome in this place Mighty God
This captures for me the incredible privilege that is ours to be in the in presence of our God as we gather each week to worship Him. How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God (Genesis 28:17).
In Christ Alone - Don Kock, Shawn Craig
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In ev'ry victory let it be said of me
My source of strength my source of hope is Christ alone
'Christ alone' what more needs to be said! Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20 - The Message).

Lord, speak to me I’m standing still
