"Say I Do" ranks high with me.

I enjoy many different recordings of this song, but one by Ray Hildebrand (who I think may be the writer) is one I particularly like.

'The Howling' by Rich Mullins. I had to pick one off his 'The World As Best As I Can Remember It, Part One', but they're all amazing - if you haven't heard that album you need to. Here are the lyrics for 'The Howling': you may well see some commonalities between this and my favourite secular song!

I can see the iron horses' tracks

Pressed in the mud from the weight of all that steam and steel

But the wind don't blow where you want it to go

No, the wind just goes where it will and you follow

I can feel the breath of winter

Driving this snow across these newly-whited plains

Takes my breath from me and it leaves me falling

Then it picks me up again in its own strength

And I can hear the wild wind howling

And I can feel it in my bones

And I know that the howling will take me home

I can see some traveller's footprints

There's a little bit of blood in every step he made

I wonder what kind of burden he's bearing

That has cut him so deeply every step along the long, long way

In the west I see an evening

This scarlet thread stretched beneath the gathering dark

Red as the blood on the hands of the Savior

And rich as the mercy that flowed from His broken heart

And I can hear the wild wind howling

And I can feel it in my bones

And I know that the howling will take me home

These men of violence, they have made this a world full of wars

Oh God break Your silence and let Your justice shine forth

Show some mercy, Oh Lord

'Cause I can see a people dispossessed

Broken and brave in the face of so much fear

Driven from their homes by the greed of a nation

Whose treaties were as good as litter

Along the trail of their tears

I can see the Covenant colors

The sun and the rain have woven against the blue of the sky

And I know if we live we will live by His promise

I know He who made it and

And I'm sure that He would not lie

And I can hear the wild wind howling

And I can feel it in my bones

And I know that the howling will take me home

Currently it would have to be Devotion by the Newsboys. I'd swear this song was written for me. LOL.

    all my world

    all I've lost

    the wrecks I've made here

    the lives it cost

    Your hand restores

    Your words make whole

    with all my soul

    I thank You

    I owe You

    all my

    devotion

    all that I have to give

    here's my devotion

    You're all that it means to live

    all my past

    my tainted name

    You stole its legacy

    of pride and shame

    You're all I love

    You're all I fear

    I'm drawing near

    to face You

    to know You

    to show You

    devotion ...

    all that I have to give

    here's my devotion

    You're all that it means to live

    You found me

    in a shallow grave

    You tracked me out from beneath it all

    You healed me

    saved me

    in the nick of time

    Your perfect time

    You found me (found me)

    in a shallow grave (in a shallow grave)

    You called me out from beneath it all

    You touched me (touched me)

    saved me (saved me)

    in the nick of time

    in Your perfect time

    I devote all I have to You

    I devote all that You've made new

    all You restored that day You bled

    all that You brought back from the dead

    here's my

    devotion

    all that I have to give

    here's my devotion

    You're all that it means to live ....[/]

Probably "Come to the Water" by the Rosedale Chorale (a Mennonite group).

"Kumbaya" by Judith Durham (the Seekers) is hard to beat. Judith has arguably the purest female vocals in the world (nearing retirement age, now).

Just about any song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither. The first song that comes to mind is "Because He Lives".

There are too many really great songs to pick just one, so I would have to agree with you, Denise, Bill & Gloria and the Happy Goodmans.

Additionally, the old favorite, "How Great Thou Art" can never be left out of my choices.

If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God

Seek Ye First

Alleluia, He is Risen by Judi Stallwitz

Trading my Sorrows - don't know the artist

But those are only at this present time. As my spiritual needs change, so do my songs.

Some of the abuse survivors I work with have found that creating "healing music" CD's is an emotionally charged way to chronicle their healing journeys. What they do is burn a CD with the various songs that sustained them through particularly difficult, joyous, or painful parts of their journey to wholeness and freedom in True Jesus.

Listening to some of those CD's will blow your mind. I understand why when Lucifer fell, music became such a weapon in his arsenal.

A heart where He alone has first place.

Mine is "If I stand" by Rich Mullins, performed by Jars of Clay. There was time when singing this song was part of my morning ritual.
