As I perform and observe much of the music we see in church these days, I find much of it inspires things like comfort. “Good and Gracious King”, “Good Good Father”, “Reckless Love”, “Waymaker”, and the like. But I think on some of the hymns I remember singing when I was younger, and I remember songs like “Because He Lives”, “Be Strong in the Lord”, “Am I a Soldier of the Cross?”, “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”, and “Holy Holy Holy”. These songs inspire strength when I listen to them. Is there any modern service music like this?
Hey there. Welcome to the community! I attend a very traditional place myself and love me some classic hymns.
I don’t know if I’ve listened to any of those modern songs you mentioned! I have found some modern music that I really like though. Some favorites:
“Come behold the wondrous mystery” and “His mercy is more” by Matt Boswell, “Yet not I” by city alight, “A prayer for grace” by Morgan Harper Nichols
I recently listened to some Christian hip-hop. Not usually my genre, but I really like Beautiful Eulogy and God’s Servant.
Some other artists I’ve come across on spotify: The Zoe Group, Sovereign Grace Music, Glad (acapella)
Would love to know your thoughts on these.
