Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! * raises hand * I have collected a long list of encouraging songs! In fact, I have so many I think it would take too long to find the YouTube videos for them all so I'm just gonna post a list, and possibly repeat songs people have already said, but I'm gonna post anyways...because I'm obsessed with music.

Not technically Christian songs:
Stand by Rascal Flatts
Advice by Christina Grimmie
Generation Love by Jeannette McCurdy
Little Wonders by Rob Thomas
Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts

Technically Christian songs:
The Truth About Me by Mandisa
You Are More by Tenth Avenue North
Any Other Way by Tenth Avenue North
Gonna See Your Kingdom by Mikeschair
Pieces by Mikeschair
You Loved Me First by Mikeschair
Beauty From Pain by Superchick
Hold by Superchick
Remind Me Who I Am by Jason Grey
Strong Enough by Matthew West
Reason For The World by Matthew West
Down by Matt Kearney

Umm... I could go on, but I'm gonna stop before I bore you guys, if I haven't already.

For the record, a lot of the songs are circumstance specific and I have a strange definition of encouragement so no promises that they'll be hymn-standard, but, you know... I shared them anyways. Don't know why.

-Bethany Faith

Bless The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts - I love that song!

I don't think I have heard any of the others.

I shall have to listen to them tomorrow, I shall have lots of fun with that!

Bethany Faith · **Joined:** January 27th, 2011, 2:13 pm **Posts:** 3226

Yes, I just discovered that song today. I think it's one of my new favorites.

BushMaid · **Posted:** July 22nd, 2012, 7:16 am

Rascal Flatts are pretty good, I may have to look that one up.

Aldara · **Posted:** July 23rd, 2012, 1:54 pm

You Are More and Healing Begins by Tenth Avenue North.
Better than a Hallelujah by Amy Grant.
What Faith Can Do, Promise of a Lifetime and Sea of Faces by Kutless.
The Words I Would Say by Sidewalk Prophets
Meant to Be by Steven Curtis Chapman, and anything on his Beauty Will Rise CD, but especially Beauty Will Rise, Spring is Coming and Questions.
Blesings by Laura Story.
Those are probably my favorites. Oh, and the one Seer mentioned -The Reason for the World.

Politician de Paz · **Posted:** July 23rd, 2012, 4:00 pm

I would say
Let It Go by Tenth Avenue North
and
Live Like That by Sidewalk Prophets

This isn't a song, it's part of a sermon put to music, but it's so encouraging. I love listening to it!

RunningWolf · **Posted:** August 24th, 2012, 4:05 pm

The song All I Can Say has been very encouraging to me, it illustrates how we see things as they happen and we despair, then look back and see that God was there all the time. The lyrics are on the video, and they're pretty easy to understand.

"The Sovereign Lord is my strength
He enables me to go on the heights
And I am not afraid
The Sovereign Lord is my strength
Where are the greener pastures?
Where are the quiet waters?
The Sovereign Lord is my strength
You are my green pastures
You are my quiet waters
The Sovereign Lord is my strength"

The explanation for this song is simple, I was waiting on God and I was hurting when I wrote the lyrics. I probably wouldn't have written a song if my friend, Mike, hadn't encouraged me to document what I was going through during that time. I'm sure there are few people who can't relate to this song, but the important thing to remember while we're waiting on God is to not just wait but to actively wait.

Serve, worship and be faithful with what you have, where you are... even while (you) wait.

"If our hearts are turned to stone
There is hope we know the rocks will cry out
And the tears aren't ours alone
Let them fall into the hands that hold us
Come away from where you're hiding
Set aside the lies that you've been living
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope
We will never walk alone

In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (In the shelter)
In the shelter of each other
We will live
We will live (You will never walk alone)"

'Shelter'

I heard it the first time at church a few weeks ago, and really liked it.

Glad you like it too, lovely.

*Sang this song for special music once* I like that one.

BushMaid · **Posted:** December 11th, 2013, 6:29 am

I've been wanting to share this song for months... it really spoke to me after everything happened with HW. I want it to be true of us.

After everything... there is love. 1 Cor. 13:13

Lady Elanor · **Posted:** January 30th, 2014, 3:38 pm

What a beautiful song, Bushy. It made me tear up.

*Hugs*

This is one my sister sent me today, and it really encouraged and blessed me.

Sian and I heard this sung by Nathan Kissler at the conference we went to. It's definitely on the list of my favourite Christian songs now!

God picked up a sparrow, that could no longer fly,
He brushed off it's wounds and then watched it soar into the sky,
If He's mindful of creation on this I can depend,
I am His child and I can place all my trust in Him.
