2. Jireh by Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music Lyrics
“Jireh” is the lead single from Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music‘s collaborative album titled “Old Church Basement”. The song premiered on March 26, 2021, accompanied by its music video.
This song speaks of the love God has for his people. A love that is more than enough to sustain us in every circumstance we might find ourselves in. Jireh is one of the many names for God and it means “God will provide” If God, who is Jehovah Jireh, dresses the lilies with so much beauty and splendour, how much more will he clothe, feed, provide for you?

3. Hills and valleys by Tauren Wells
In This song, Tauren Wells celebrates God’s sovereignty over all of creation. He says “On the mountains, I will bow my life To the One who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes To the One who sees me there
When I’m standing on the mountain
I didn’t get there on my own, when I’m walking through the valley, I know I am not alone! You’re God of the hi-hi-hills and valleys And I am not alone” At our highs, we should remember that God got us there and at our lows, He is there with us.

5. 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) by Matt Redman
Matt Redman urges his soul to bless and worship the Lord’s Holy name – to sing praises to the Lord like never before.
When the sun comes up and a new day dawns, we should sing God’s praises. We should praise God who is rich in love and slow to anger. Whose name is great and who is kind. Let us make a commitment to still be singing God’s praises on the day our strength failing and our time has come.
This song more that deserves a place in my list of The Best Worship Songs of all Time.

6. Not For A Moment (After All) by Meredith Andrews
This beautiful song by Meredith Andrews is drawn from Hebrews 13:5-6 “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said,” I will never leave you nor forsake you.””
It is a celebration of God’s promise to never leave nor forsake us. After all, God is only good and constant and will not change. Not for a moment.

8. How Great Thou Art
How Great Thou Art is based on the original Swedish hymn “O Store Gud” written by Carl Boberg in 1885. It was loosely translated into English by Stuart K. Hine
The hymn was popularised by George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows during the Billy Graham crusades. The first two stanzas marvel at the wonder which is God’s creation. Stanzas 3 and 4 talk of how great God’s love for us is. A love that was so strong that He sent Jesus to come at be the atonement for our sins. We shall proclaim “how great thou art” when He comes again.

9. Amazing Grace
“Amazing Grace” is probably the most popular hymn ever written. It was written in 1772 by English poet, John Newton (1725–1807). It is primarily a religious song but is also widely used secularly. While the words of the hymn are deeply moving, the story of the life of the author makes it more fascinating and inspiring.

10. Psalm 34
The words of this amazing song are from Psalm 34 from verse 4. The psalmist celebrates God’s graciousness in dealings with him, then calls on others to trust in the Lord as he has done. He instructs them on how to secure graciousness and then contrasts God’s care of His people and His punitive providence towards the wicked.
