This February has certainly been an interesting one for us, but through all of the highs and lows, we have held a few great songs close to our hearts. With so many great worship songs out there, it can be difficult to narrow down a list of ten favorites, but at the end of the day, there will always be some that stand the test of time. And by that, we mean that no matter how many times we hear them, we cannot get enough of them. This is our list of the 10 worship songs on repeat this month!
1. "Gratitude" - Brandon Lake

Brandon Lake’s deeply personal and profoundly moving song, “Gratitude” has moved us to tears again and again.

This song serves as a gentle, earnest method of worship, while amping up in the end to become a powerful roar of surrender and humility.

Elevation Worship uses the vocal talents of Jonsal Barrientes to form a legendary anthem of praise in “Same God”. In this beautiful ballad, Barrientes lifts his voice, calling upon the God who parted the rushing waters for His people, the God who empowered a shepherd boy to slay a giant with a single stone, and the God who still loves us today. This song reminds us that, even though our ordinary problems may not be as bombastic as the conflicts of the Bible, we can still call on the God who moves mountains and makes miracles happen.

Carnes declares “Ain’t nobody love me like Jesus” again and again, and our hearts cannot help but leap along to the infectious beat. The sentiment may be fairly straightforward, but no one can present it like Carnes. With this song’s unique energy and refreshingly relatable take on the love that Jesus has for us, we still haven’t gotten enough of this one.

Phil Wickham’s “This Is Our God” brings us back to the truth that we have seen God slay giants in our lives. Though our giants may not hold swords, His victory over them means just as much to us as David’s victory did. This song gives us a much needed reminder that we serve the God who loves us unendingly, and He will bring us through whatever fires we may have to walk through, just as He has done before.
5. “First Things First” - Consumed By Fire

Consumed by Fire utilizes a memorable and moving melody to take our eyes off the things that this world may chase, and place them on the things of Heaven that Jesus has for us. As the days go by, this is a message we need more and more. When life throws us off track, and distracts us from what really matters, we listen to this song. And we need to listen to it a lot.
6. “Son Of David” - Ryan Ellis

Ryan Ellis and Brandon Lake’s rendition of “Son Of David” is a stylish, rocking plea to the root of Jesse for intercession. This song depicts the image of a captive, crying out for mercy from a king of great renown. In truth, we are all captives to sin and death, but we have someone who is ready and able to break our chains and set us free. Lake and Ellis’ voices blend well together for the mood of this song, and the sound is infectious.
7. “Holy Forever” - Chris Tomlin

Yet another classic hit from Chris Tomlin, “Holy Forever” begins by imagining a thousand generations of past, present, and future believers lifting up a shout of praise for the Lord. No matter who we might be, we are invited to join in with the choirs of angels and declare that Jesus is truly worthy of all our praise. This song reminds us of just how holy Jesus is. He is on another level than anyone or anything we have ever encountered before.

As Reddick is joined by a choir of voices, all proclaiming their faith in Jesus’ life, death, and subsequent resurrection, a new kind of confidence wells up in us whenever we listen to this song. When we look back on everything Jesus has done for us in our lives, we cannot deny that He is good and mighty to save.

No matter how we might mess up and even run away from God, “This is How I Thank The Lord” tells us that He still stands waiting for us with open arms. When we place ourselves first, when we choose to sin against God, He still loves us and wants us. Even amid all our brokenness. This song is a powerful reminder of that fact.

As Maher beseeches the mercy of the Lord, asking Him to forgive us our sins, the song’s vibrant and energetic sound brings a new kind of meaning to the classic prayer of Christ. As Maher’s bridge declares that the kingdom is “all Yours,” we cannot help but be thankful for this new take on a well-known verse. Never before have we heard the Lord’s Prayer sound this joyful.
