Worship Songs With Sentimental Value
If someone were to ask me what my current favorite worship song were, based on musical quality, I'd probably say "From the Inside Out" by Hillsong United. The lyrics are meaningful, the melody's appealing, and yet - this isn't the worship song that actually means the most to me.
That would be "I Will Offer Up My Life," by Matt Redman. While singing this song all throughout high school, I didn't really care for it, but when I was going through a tough time a couple of years ago, the lyrics, "Lord receive the sacrifice of a broken heart," and "You took all my shame away and defeated my sin/Opened up the gates of heaven and have beckoned me in" really spoke to me.
While I normally find sentimental attachments a little corny, I can't help but feel one with this song as that's also the song my new small group opened with this summer once I came out of my very long spiritual hiatus. Funny how that was the last song that really touched me right before my dry period began, and it was the first song I heard once I started coming out of it. Now, whenever I hear the song in church (or when we sing it in SG), I remember the ways God came through for me even when I didn't believe He would.
Which Christian (or worship) song means the most to you?

I find myself most attached to the songs that have meaning as well as memories for me. Its one of those things that I couldnt tell you right now - but when I hear them they definitely speak to me.
Good question. "Potter's Hand" means a lot to me.
"In Christ Alone" by NewsBoys and "As the Deer" by Martin Nystrom." Yeah, both songs are typically found in a Christian teenage individual's worship songs playlist :]
Casting Crowns song "Praise Him in the Storm" has sentimental value for me. It was a new release right around the time that my niece was stillborn. It's got beautiful words and a fantastic melody.
Oh, get ready for a LOOOONG comment; God speaks to me through music a lot in my life...
i love "Light of the World," and "Breathe on Me" by Jennifer Knapp, "Take You Back," and "This Man" by Jeremy Camp, and "East to West," "While You Were Sleeping," and "Praise You in this Storm" by Casting Crowns. (well, actually i can relate to just about everything Casting Crowns does...) then there's "You are My King (Amazing Love)" by Newsboys, "Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)" by Chris Rice, and "Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone," and "Your Grace is Enough" by Chris Tomlin. also, "Only Grace" by Matthew West, Third Day's "Cry out to Jesus," and "Grace Like Rain," and "This Fragile Breath" by Todd Agnew are all touching ones for me, as well. oh, and "By His Wounds" by Brian Littrell, Mac Powell, Mark Hall, Mark Harris, and Steven Curtis Chapman. which brings me to SCC's "Fingerprints of God."
then there are the hymns, such as "In Christ Alone," "Nothing But the Blood," "Come Thou Fount," "It Is Well," "Great is Thy Faithfulness," "Be Thou My Vision" and of course, "Amazing Grace." for those i like Ron Tolson, Fernando Ortega, Josh Groban, and traditonal church choir renditions.
and Christmas time always makes me think of "What Child is This," as sung by Josh Groban "Mary Did You Know?" (the Kenny Rogers version is my fave.), and more recently, "Christmas Makes Me Cry" by Mandisa.
then in April, it's "The Hammer," "Watch the Lamb," and "Thank You" by Ray Boltz (the last one because it was played at his funeral in April of '97 and it always makes me cry.)
so yeah.... that's a few of them at least. lol. God Bless!
too many to list..
There are a few songs that mean sooo much to me. One would be "Miracle" by Audio Adrenaline. I was listening to song while i was going to a really tough time and for just a few seconds, i felt that there was hope. And back then, a few seconds were like a lifetime. Audio Adrenaline may have been a rock band, but they could worship like nobody's business.
There are way too many to list...I would say a couple that come to me off the top of my head are "Praise you in the Storm" by Casting Crowns and "My Savior My God" by Aaron Shust.
I would have to say my current favorite song is "Those Nights" by Skillet...it's just really special to me because I love the lyrics (well, the music is amazing too!).
My Savior My God by Aaron Shust and Whispers by Skillet... both have great sentimental meaning for me...
i love vicky beeching's above all else. so simple and beautiful, yet a wonderful reminder of the One who is most important in my life.
I think each of the worship songs means something to me. But I like the one called, "At The Cross."
A lot. "Storm" by Lifehouse. "Surrender" by Downhere. "In Christ Alone" and "Fly to Jesus" by Chris Rice. "Take my Life" and "These Thousand Hills" by Third Day.
Pour My Love on you by phillp craig and dean
This isn't a worship song but growing up my mom always would sing the hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." That song still brings back so many memories of my childhood, church and friendship with Jesus.
Blessed Be Your Name
It Is Well
That's what's on my mind now.
as for me each songs speaks differently to me in different time. =] and worship songs are often the best songs in times of happiness and sadness..
Right now I would have to say "From The Inside Out." That's really how I feel towards God right now so it holds a lot of value. But up there close, even though it's a secular song, is "No One" by Alicia Keys. I take it from a Christian perspective because she leaves it open to interpretation. Mine? No one can get in the way of the love I feel for God.
Song of the moment: In Your Freedom - Hillsong United
At my church we sing the end acappella & when I hear all the voices just crying out! Gah! Gives me chills! =]
Mine would have to be "Voice of Truth" by Casting Crowns or "You Led Me" by BarlowGirl. "Voice of Truth" is kind of like my life song because it addresses probably my biggest struggle in my walk of faith. I have such a hard time trusting God with things, especially money, and when the things that I do have planned go totally wrong and it ends up not happening at all, then that's when I really begin to struggle because I ask, "God, why? Why me? You knew how bad I wanted this" and I have to turn to the Bible or play that song in my head to remember how I need to trust God with EVERYTHING that happens in my life.
