Christian Songs?

Question

My sister-in-law is going through a hard time right now and I am looking for some christian songs that will help her focus on God. We both listen to music when we are feeling down. She is feeling like God is distant right now and is struggling to aline her dreams and desires with Gods will. My brother is serving in Iraq and she has had 3 miscarriages over the last 2-3 years and they may lose their house because of financial difficulties and they are being sued by someone they let stay with them for a time and who claims to be a christian. I am not just looking for songs to make her feel better but that are convicting as well. So far I have a lot of Barlow Girl and Kutless. Here are 3 songs that will definately be on the CD
Barlow Girl
-Surrender(convicting)
- Never Alone
Kutless
-promise of a lifetime
I would appreciate any suggestions you can give me.
Thanks and God Bless

Answer 1

I have been listening to them all day..

Switchfoot - Stars, 24, More Than Fine,

Jars of Clay - No One Loves Me Like You, Flood, Liquid

Kutless - Winds of Change

ChrisTomlin - Unchanging, Kindness, Holy Is The Lord God Almighty, How Great Is Our God (live), Forever

Answer 2

First of all, I wish your family only the best. The songs you have on the cd already are my favorites! Here are a couple you could consider:



Newsboys - He Reigns

Mainstay - These Pages (they have some other good songs too if this one isn't what you're looking for)

Jeff Deyo - Nothing Less Than All of Me

Jeff Deyo - Bless the Lord

Kutless - Run

Hillsong - At the Cross

Jeff Deyo- Love of God

Hillsong - Break Free

Kutless - Shut Me Out

Jeff Deyo - Nothing On Earth

Audio Adrenaline - Miracle

Hillsong - From the Inside Out

Kutless - Sea of Faces

Jeff Deyo- Glory Rain Down

Hillsong - You Are My Strength

tobyMac - Do You Know

Jeff Deyo - I Am Yours Forever



Those are my favorite. I appologize that they are messy. I hope that the cd you make for her can help put a smile in her heart. God bless.

Answer 3

I suggest this song written and composed by Lanny Wolfe, "Someone is Praying for You" because it provides such profound comfort to those who are experiencing deep sorrow. God bless her and pray the Lord will meet every need, keepr her in the shelter of His arms and bring her husband home safely.



Have the clouds 'round you

Gathered in the midst of a storm

Is your ship tossed and battered

Are you weary and worn

Don't lose hope someone's praying

For you this very day

And peace be still is already on the way



Someone is praying for you

someone is praying for you

And when it seems you're all alone,

and your heart would break in two

remember someone is praying for you



When it seems that you prayed

'til your strength is all gone,

and your tears fall like raindrops

all the day long

Jesus cares and He knows

just how much you can bear

He'll speak your name to someone in prayer



Someone is praying for you

someone is praying for you

And when it seems you're all alone,

and your heart would break in two

remember someone is praying for you

Answer 4

Hello Linnea,

I hope I don't short out my keyboard, you have gone and made me cry all over it. You are the best sister-in-law in the whole world, with all her problems she is truly blessed to have you in her life.



I do not have a list because I think Zeldagirl's list is pretty good and I agree with her list with the

addition of "Word of God speak" by Mercy Me (not Kutless).



When you decide on your list, share it by e-mail and I'll send you or her a dollar. A list of songs that lifts your spirits when you are troubled is worth at least that much. I have prayed and I will pray for your brother and his wife. Let her know that she is not alone with the heartbreak of miscarriage, my wife and I have suffered in the same way. Do not forget to minister to your brother, men tend to suffer in silence, he is probably hurting too. Now after many years my wife and I know that God has a purpose for our lives and He loves us very much.



God lost a son too, and He understands.

God bless you.

Answer 5

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that about her. I'll pray for her for sure! The CD that is my absolute favorite it called "Enter the Worship Circle". The songs always make me so happy that sometimes I cry because they are all about God's goodness and His love for us, and how He'll never leave me. They are a different style of music. They use flute, tamborines, bongo drums. It's good music! Alot of people in their teens and early twenties especially are into it.



Here's a link to it. I gave you the link to the First circle, it's called. There's also second and third circle, but I think the first is the very best! I know she'll love it! There's also a play list next to it so you can hear the songs, #5 is my fav.

Answer 6

A long time ago, Michael W. Smith had a CD called "The Big Picture". It has a lot of hard rock songs on it that address sadness inside. It has helped me and several friends through the years. Look in to Bob Bennett's music as well, although it's hard to find. He is a very deep soul who has known his share of pain and knows how to express it musically. Praying for her.

Answer 7

People other than me will have better music recommendations, but I can recommend a book that can be read as a devotional. It is a series of very brief and convicting letters. The book is called The Seeking Heart by Fenelon. It can be hard to find sometimes but it is a great book.

Answer 8

Try some contemporary Christian music. It's generally upbeat and powerful.

As for the loss of the house?

It is illegal for a bank to foreclose on the home of a member of the Armed Services while they are away serving. Have your S-I-L contact your brother's Commandant's office here stateside. There's lots of resources for her to tap into.



-A Sailor's Dad

God Luck

Answer 9

Haven't bought many Christian Cd's, but a hymn that really helps me is "God Will Take Care of You". I sing it to myself quite a lot.



How about 'The Garden'--I go to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear, whispers in my ear, the Son of God discloses...And He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am his own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.



I will remember your family in my prayers. God Bless.

Answer 10

When I Call On Jesus --- Nicole C Mullen

Broken & Beautiful --- Mark Schultz

Can't Give Up Now --- Mary Mary

To Ever Live Without Me --- Jody McBrayer

Alabaster Box --- Jennifer Ebanks

Answer 11

Geez. Get a standard hymnal. These hymns were written for the purpose of teaching scriptural truth. The modern stuff, most, was only written to make money. That's the truth.

Get a hymnal from church, and just read the verses. You'll see.

A Lot better than the repetitive words of these made for money songs.

Answer 12

well, if she likes old time gospel, i would recommend Vestal Goodman,

God Walks the Dark Hills

Til the Storm passes by



Her music always lifts me up.



Also, a song by Third Day, Cry out to Jesus.

Answer 13

Blessed Be the Name, by Tree 63.

Answer 14

i lost my father about 2 years ago these are wonderful songs that you might want to put on a cd for her:



"Held" - Natalie Grant

( talks about going through a hard time )



"Part the waters Lord/I need thee every hour" - Selah

( talks about how you need God )



"Be Still" - StorySideB

( talks about wanting to give in )



"The Altar" - Ray Boltz

( just to pray )



"Cry Out To Jesus" - Third Day

( talks about going through a hard time )



* if i think of anymore ill let you know, i hope i helped :) *



God Bless!

Answer 15

Hello! Linnear.

"Why not give her some of God's promises such as.

Joshua1:9 Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and courageous !

Do not tremble or be dismayed,

For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all of your anxieties on God because He cares for you!

Prov3 :5-6 Trust in the Lord with all of your heart mind,

And lean not unto your own understanding

In all of your ways know Him and He shall direct your paths.

God is 2 steps ahead we just have to follow Him.

There are 7,000 of His promises for us to use while on earth all stored in His instruction book the Bible which give us soul peace..

We don't need them in eternity they are for us to use now.

Our Lord said in John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you,My peace I give unto you,not as the world gives,do I give to you,Let not your heart be troubled,nor let it be fearful.

The words to this hymn are beautiful called .

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus."

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face ,

and the things of the earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of His glory and grace.

Rock of ages

There is a song called "peace in the valley.

Another "In my Father's house are many mansions.

Amazing Grace.

When He comes.

The far side banks of Jordan

Shall we gather at the river.

Take care!

Merry Christmas.

"I understand" by Smokie Norful

Please give this one a try.

Answer 29

pick out some happy christmas songs instead

Rather than some songs that make her dwell on her situation



A gift from you im sure will make her happy

Answer 30

James 5:13 says, "Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises." Be careful about the music, it just temporarily covers up situations. When you are suffereing the real weapon to use is prayer, then the problems will be dealt with, then you will be chearful and then you can sing.

Answer 31

anything by casting crowns they just make you happy

Answer 32

Stronger-Kanye West 5/5 : - ]

Answer 33

stacy orrico-''strong enough'' and ''more to life''.mandisa-''only you" and ''oh my lord''.lecrae-''nothing''. group crew 1-''forgive me''. stacy orrico-''hesitation''. hope this helps her out.GOD bless you both!!!

Answer 34

i dont know im so sorry

i am feeling so bad for u right now

Answer 35

The woman needs cash, not a song. Help her get some money. This song business is like whistling while passing the graveyard. Get an extra job and give the woman some heavy-duty moolah.
