Songs About Blessings: Top 12 Christian Songs

Christian radio stations for years have been playing gospel centered songs with different themes. A popular theme that comes up are songs about blessings. According to dictionary.com a “blessing ”is “a favor or gift bestowed by God, thereby bringing happiness.” However, among Christians we know that sometimes God blesses by giving and taking away from us, which seems paradoxical but will ultimately bring  joy–which trumps happiness any day.

God does give us many blessings and although He does not necessarily need anything from us we should be bestowing blessings and honor upon Him as one day we will sing with the creatures of heaven.

Scripture: “And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!’”(Revelation 5:13 ESV)

8. We Are Blessed

All Sons & Daughters

Favorite Lyric: “We are loved when we feel all is lost. When the shadows are cast on the cross

When we finally cast our burdens unto Jesus, we will finally understand the blessings He has given by dying on the cross for our sins.

When we count and name our blessings one by one we have a visible representation of all the blessings that God has given us. Set aside some time this week to meditate on the blessings that God has provided you and write them out. By doing so I know God will be glorifies and you will be humbled in His name.

5. 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

Thankfully our God is“slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love”. Without his steadfast love our lives would be much more difficult to endure. Praise God for His everlasting love!

4. As Long As You Are Glorified

Sovereign Grace Music

Favorite Lyric: “Shall I take from Your hand Your blessings. Yet not welcome any pain? Shall I thank You for days of sunshine, yet grumble in days of rain? Shall I love You in times of plenty

Then leave You in days of drought? Shall I trust when I reap a harvest, but when winter winds blow, then doubt?”

It’s important to realize that God is faithful to bless through delightful times of our lives and those that hurt. In our pain we must hold on to Him and follow His ways.

Favorite Lyric: “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.”

I am prone to wander away from the straight and narrow, but I know God is faithful to find me in my lost, lonely and rebellious moments.

A Parable of Jesus: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?”(Luke 15:4 ESV)

1. Blessed Be Your Name

Matt Redman

Favorite Lyric: “You give and take away. You give and take away. My heart will choose to say. Lord, blessed be Your name.”

It’s “easy”to choose following The Lord when we are being given so much, salvation, new life, peace, and security. However, it is really difficult to trust when we are being burdened by hate, hurt, and trials. We must be prepared to praise and bless God when he both blesses us and when he blesses by removing something or someone from our life.

Scripture: “I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”(Psalm 34:1 ESV)
