Songs That Have A Strong Effect On Me: Pop Edition

Recently there's been some songs on the radio that just strike me as really powerful and touching with messages of hope found through Jesus. I'd like to share a couple of these with you and thank the artists for their beautiful lyrics.

4)Crowder - My Victory

You came for criminals
And every pharisee
You came for hypocrites
Even one like me

You carried sin and shame
The guilt of every man
The weight of all I’ve done
Nailed into Your hands

Oh, Your love bled for me
Oh, Your blood in crimson streams
Oh, Your death is Hell's defeat
A cross meant to kill is my victory

Oh, Your amazing grace
I’ve seen and tasted it
It’s running through my veins
I can’t escape its grip
In you my soul is safe
You cover everything

Oh, Your love bled for me
Oh, Your blood in crimson streams
Oh, Your death is Hell's defeat
A cross meant to kill is my victory

Behold the Lamb of God
Who takes away our sin
Who takes away our sin
The holy Lamb of God
Makes us alive again
Makes us alive again
Behold the Lamb of God
Who takes away our sin
Who takes away our sin
The holy Lamb of God
Makes us alive again
Makes us alive again

Oh, Your love bled for me
Oh, Your blood in crimson streams
Oh, Your death is Hell's defeat
A cross meant to kill is my victory
Oh, the cross meant to kill is my victory

3)For KING & COUNTRY - Proof of Your Love(Monologue Mix)

If I sing but don't have love
I waste my breath with every song
I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise
If I speak with a silver tongue
Convince a crowd but don't have love
I leave a bitter taste with every word I say

So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love

If I give
To a needy soul but don't have love then who is poor?
It seems all the poverty is found in me

So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
Oh, let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love

When it's all said and done
When we sing our final song
Only love remains
Only love remains

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy
but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day,
and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps,
but I don't love, I'm nothing.
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr,
but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere.
So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do,
I'm bankrupt without love.

Let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof
The proof of Your love

2)Christ Tomlin - Jesus

There is a truth older than the ages
There is a promise of things yet to come
There is one, born for our salvation
Jesus

There is a light that overwhelms the darkness
There is a kingdom that forever reigns
There is freedom from the chains that bind us
Jesus, Jesus

Who walks on the waters
Who speaks to the sea
Who stands in the fire beside me
He roars like a lion
He bled as the lamb
He carries my healing in his hands
Jesus

There is a name I call in times of trouble
There is a song that comforts in the night
There is a voice that calms the storm that rages
He is Jesus, Jesus

Who walks on the waters
Who speaks to the sea
Who stands in the fire beside me
He roars like a lion
He bled as the lamb
He carries my healing in his hands
Jesus

Messiah, my Savior
There is power in Your name
You're my rock and, my redeemer
There is power in Your name
In Your name

You walk on the waters
You speak to the sea
You stand in the fire beside me
You roar like a lion
You bled as the lamb
You carry my healing in Your hands

God, You walk on the waters
You speak to the sea
You stand in the fire beside me
You roar like a lion
You bled as the lamb
You carry my healing in Your hands
Jesus
There is no one like you
Jesus
There is no one like you

1)Mike Westendorf- At A Time

There will be times
When you don't know where you're going
And there are times
When you don't know where you've been
But in all times
There is one thing you can count on
And that's the love
our Savior gives to all

So may He dry your tears
And may he calm your fears
His love will carry you
Through all your deepest strife
And as you walk that road
And press unto that goal
May you live your life just
One day at a time

When life has filled
Your waking hours in shadow
And when that road
Only seems to run uphill
Turn to the one
Who will stand with you for all time
Whose sacrifice
Has made our lame feet run

So may He dry your tears
And may he calm your fears
His love will carry you
Through all your deepest strife
And as you walk that road
And press unto that goal
May you live your life just
One day at a time

So may He dry your tears
And may he calm your fears
His love will carry you
Through all your deepest strife
And as you walk that road
And press unto that goal
May you live your life just
One day at a time

As worry tears away
The hopes you had today
Put the burdens and
The worries of your life
Into His hands till you know
It's by God's grace that you'll go
Living out your life just one day
At a time
