27 Christian Songs That Don’t All Sound The Same

It’s no secret that Christian music has a bad stigma. Some people say it sounds too preachy, or too gospely, or that it all sounds the same. Listen, I’m not disagreeing.

And while I do listen to a lot of mainstream music as well, sometimes I crave the refreshment and clarity that Christian music can bring. It’s hard to describe…but sometimes worshiping God through music gives me more energy than eight hours of sleep, more decision-making ability than 30 pro-con lists, and more peace than hours of yoga.

And we all need more energy, decision-making ability, and peace, right? If you’ve stayed away from Christian music because it has left a bad taste in your mouth, you’re not alone. Here are some songs I love that will cleanse your palate and renew your soul…
