Worship songs and Bible verses: questions and answers

Gentle worship songs that make room for sorrow and remind you God is near. Our songs for grief and comfort playlist is slow and calm, with no pressure to cheer up. Scripture says “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” (Psalm 34:18, KJV).

Choose calm songs about trusting God with tomorrow and resting in His care. Start with worship songs for peace when you're worried, and pray along as you listen. These songs are encouragement, not a replacement for care from a doctor or counsellor.

Three short ones to start: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27, KJV); “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” (Isaiah 26:3, KJV); and “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7, KJV). You can listen to songs for peace while you read them, or find more verses on the anxious feelings page.

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4, KJV) and “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3, KJV). Pair them with our comfort songs.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31, KJV) and “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13, KJV). For music to go with them, try songs for strength.

Songs about God's new mercies and a fresh start. Play our morning devotion songs while you read the verse of the day: “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23, KJV).

Quiet, slow songs work best at night. Our evening rest playlist has a sleep timer in the player that fades the music out after 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, KJV).

Songs about courage and God's help in hard seasons. Listen to songs for when you need strength before a long shift, during recovery or on any hard day.

Songs about the cross, grace and coming home to God. Our forgiveness, grace and mercy playlist includes honest prayers and songs of freedom. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” (Ephesians 2:8, KJV).

Joyful songs that thank God for His goodness. Try thankful praise and worship songs. “O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (Psalm 107:1, KJV).

Songs about God's promises and new beginnings, for when you feel stuck or discouraged. Listen to Worship songs of hope. “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 15:13, KJV).

Songs that remind you God is with you. Our songs for when you feel lonely playlist is a good start, and reaching out to one person today can help too. “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” (Deuteronomy 31:6, KJV).
