A entertainment trend I’ve noticed, particularly in the last few months: I’ve been listening to more Christian contemporary music than I used to, primarily on Life 88.3.
It hasn’t been a deliberate shift. I didn’t wake up one morning and decide that I was going to listen to Christian music because it has a positive message–though it does. Fact is I’m still perfectly content to listen to secular songs with dumb lyrics.
But for whatever reason I find that I’ve simply been liking contemporary Christian songs more than what’s playing on secular music stations. Part of the reason may the “newness” (to me) of the music rather than hearing songs I’ve heard over and over again for years. Part of it may be the mostly commercial-free format on Life 88.3. And part of it . . . heck, I can’t explain why I enjoy the music I like–It just strikes an inner chord.
Here are a few of the songs I’ve been enjoying this summer:
–Britt Nicole, “Walk On the Water”
–Chris Tomlin, “Our God is Greater”
–Christy Nockels, “Healing is in Your Hand”
–Kari Jobe, “You Are For Me”
–MercyMe, “All Of Creation”
–Natalie Grant, “The Greatness Of Our God”
–Sanctus Real, “Lead Me”
–Tenth Avenue North, “Healing Begins”
