A 25-gospel Rhythms Countdown

Music is one of the key elements that brings about changes in a person, especially worship music. Worshiping through songs enhances the presence of God. God is also pleased when His people praise and worship Him and gospel songs are a good way to do just that. As you go through the motion of expressing oneself through songs, a person will feel the presence of reverence. Music is made to ravish the soul. Here are my favorite gospel rhythms.

  1. I See the Lord

  2. The definition of this song is one of deep encounter with the Lord. To see the Lord is to picture the lord with profound eyes. Whenever this song is played, I look into the firmament in which I was born and see the Lord. I notice His garment filling the entire temple. Words cannot express the depth of what I am envisioning. As the verse states, “And the whole earth is filled with His glory”, I just melt down with shouts. This song made it in my top twenty-five.

    Yeah, yeah, yes His whole world is filled with His glory. Yeah, yeah, the whole world is filled with His glory.

  3. Come, Jesus, Come

  4. There is nothing better than calling Jesus into your life. I have gone through trials and tribulations and all I want are the presence of the Lord. It was not easy to bring up four children alone. Mustering come Jesus come is making every attempt to get Him to show up. I want to be filled with His presence. I anticipate His coming but today seem to be the day when he should return. I want him to restore His kingdom especially when everything is rocketing sky high in prices. It feels as it is the end of the world. I want His return so I will shout, “Come Jesus comes, and we await your return”.

    Oh Jesus, Jesus, we are your children. Oh, ooh, Jesus, I am one of your children. Come and rescue me.

  5. Who Is Like The Lord?

  6. I know I cannot sing but I can dance and this is one song I would definitely apply three steps to. The gist is, although I cannot sing, I always give it a try on this song. “Who is like the Lord the One who ….” The emphasis I placed on each word is unbelievable, it make my daughters laugh. I made sure every word is panted out from the bottom of my soul. This is one song you can practice on to fine tune your voice and God loves it too.

    Yes Lord, give it to me Lord because there is no one like you. Show us your glory Father Yahweh eh, eh.

  7. Fill This Place

  8. This song is one that is requesting a true encounter with your God. It is like addressing the lover of your life. Singing this song is like making a spiritual connection with your true love. A married couple needs to apply this song to their life. The words express it exactly as how it should be. Listen to the words, “I'm here to meet with you come and meet with me. I'm here to find you reveal yourself to me”. Your relationship should be one of a blissful moment and so should your relationship be with the Lord as well.

    Rock it to me Lord. Rock it to me Lord as you reveal yourself to me. I love You and I need You, Lord.

  9. T'is So Sweet To Trust In Jesus

  10. Having full knowledge of Christ is filling your soul with sweetness. It is so sweet to know you can trust in Him. It is so sweet to trust and know that He died for our sins. It like having your older brother takes the blame when your mother returned home and asked who eat all the cookies and you said not me. She immediately assume is your older brother who is not home to defend himself. She took you at your words. Well, you can take God at his word and rest on His promises. It is really sweet to trust in Jesus.

    Eh, eh, eh, sing it to me Lord as it is so sweet to trust in you.

  11. Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy

  12. This song repeats the word holy five times just to emphasize the magnitude of God and His holiness. The lamb being above all and is supreme. There is no substitute to His majesty. The angels honor God singing holy, holy, holy, holy, unto God. It is good to follow after the angels and honor God too with the same words. Make known God's holiness.

    Holy, holy, holy, unto the Lord God of Israel. I sing holy unto your name. Yeah and yeah as I sing holy to Your name.

  13. His Holiness

  14. You ought to give to the Lord as He is the Mighty One. You ought to serve Him with all glory and strength. If you give to God all the glory with all your strength, don't be surprise as He will bless you. All He needs from us is all the glory due His name. Take time to worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness.

    Let me give You praise Lord because You are the only One who deserves all the praise because of your holiness.

  15. Nothing But The Blood

  16. This song starts with a question that already has an answer. The question is what can wash away your sins and it supplies the answer nothing but the blood of Jesus. There is no other answer although some may say there are five possibilities to a question. In this case, only the blood of Jesus can wash away your sins.

    Even if you asked the question again and again, the same answer would apply. God knows what it would require to cleanse man from their sins. He sent His son Jesus to do away with our sins. The song is of redemption. Jesus blood is the redeeming sacrifice to wash away our sin. This song is a must to be song at any liturgy.

    Eh te, eh te, eh, eh, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

  17. Again I Say Rejoice

  18. The words of this song, “Come bless the Lord come bless the Lord,

    Draw near to worship Christ the Lord”, say it all. I find this song very difficult to sing but I enjoy it so much that it is highly ranked about my best of gospel songs. I enjoy a very solid voice echoing this tune. It starts out high on a high note and ends on a high tone and the higher one gets singing this song the better it become for the soul. It reminds me of the excellence of the Master. We ought to bless His holy name yes His holy name and declare His goodness. If I ever take voice lessons, maybe I will be able to manage this song.

    Yes Lord, I really want to bless you, Lord. I really want to bless you, Lord. Eh, eh, eh, Lord.

  19. Revive Us Again

  20. This song may have stemmed from the revival movement across the country when men felt the urge to worship God. When singing this sing, one is required to dip low, stamp your feet and swing the arms from down and across you face. Yes, this is a dance step but this is how one will react to this revivalist's rhythm. It is a time to give God glory especially when one receives a blessing. The words, “Hallelujah thine is the glory”, is assurance that only God can get such glory. Yet at the same time you want God to keep on reviving you so that the soul stayed in melody for Him. The word amen at the end of the verse is certifying to awesomeness of God.

    O'my, o'my, Lord, is you going to revive me again Lord? I want your grace.

  21. Open The Eyes Of My Heart

  22. The metaphor used in this rhythm is very deep. How can God open the eyes of your heart? Your really don't have eyes in your heart to be opened but if a person gets the meaning, he or she is well on their way to have a Christ-like spirit. The needs to be softened and asking God to open the eyes of your heart is asking to be compassionate for others. The song then continues wanting to see God more or less Christ in all their doings. This song is a blast and I enjoy it very much when it is played. I rock my head and I mumbled it through at church. One does not have to repeat the verses but recollect the resonance of each word.

    O, yes, it is you again, O' Lord, open my hearts so I can see you.

  23. I Will Exalt The One

  24. The choice to exalt the One who is the Maker of the universe is one of the best of choices. What one can say, but to honor God. The words in this song are giving a person the ability to recognize the Savior as He deserves everything one has to offer. The comparison that there is no gold, no precious pearl or nothing on earth that compares to the Lord. With such powerful words, the most one can do singing this song is to give it all. The rhythm goes on and on with words such as, “Lord here I stand with empty hands”. Oh, what a note full of humility, is a reminder to give the Lord all.

    Oh Yah, Oh Lord, Yah, I will exalt the One that is higher than everything.

  25. Wonderful Merciful Savior

  26. Wonderful merciful Savior is a reflection of God's grace. He is the precious Redeemer and the best of Friends who would have thought that a Lamb such a Christ could rescue the souls of men. Jesus can into the world to rescue the souls of men because men are sinful beings. This song ranks high on my list because if it wasn't for Jesus dying on the cross and bore my sins, I would have been a lost one. I just have to remind myself of the wonderful merciful person Jesus is to me.

    Aah, Lord, aah, release me from my pains oh wonderful and merciful Savior.

  27. Only You

  28. This is a song that must be song in tabernacles or churches. Coming to God and expressing oneself shouting no one but you Lord can satisfy this longing in my heart. If you ever feel any type of loneliness, here is a song that can uplift your spirit. The song begins in a low and slow tune giving one the chance to cling to God. The song also demands one drawing near to God so that he or she can be filled and be satisfied.

    One more time Lord, I want to hear from You Lord and only you, King of this universe.

  29. Trust In You

  30. If your faith is low, here is a song that can build up your faith. God has always been and He will always be faithful to His words. When you cry out to God and your heart is overwhelmed, He will hear you. Just don't give up. You just have to hang in there to what you are believed in. He will come through for you. He came through for me and I know He will come through for you. Keep on singing and better yet keep on dancing. He has always been, and He will always be faithful”.

    Come Lord and bless us as we trust in You and only You.

  31. I Believe

  32. When God is calling you and you respond, you are scheduled for a blessing. The rhythm stresses the first word just to allow the momentum of being important. The Father recognizes that He needs a servant. This song is one of my favorites knowing that God needs man. The words begins by saying you are calling me. These are powerful words as God needs your help, and whenever you respond, you make a remarkable response by saying you have touched my soul. You continue to let God know how broken your heart is and only Him can make you whole again. I love this song.

    Hallelujah, hallelujah, Lord, I believe in Christ and I love You. Yeah, yeah, I love you Lord.

  33. Come, Now Is The Time To Worship

  34. Come now is the time to worship is a plea from God. It is a time to give your heart to Him. The verse is repeated three times just to get one to respond to his call. It is always time to worship the Lord. Even though we are consumed by work, family life, and God you know what, it is always time to worship and praise the Lord. The word come at the beginning has a rumbling sound to it. It has that punch effect as if it making a demand. I love it for it easy beat and a good song for anyone who want to sing along with the choir.

    Come Lord, this is the time for you to refresh my heart. Come now Lord, this is the time as I worship You.

  35. Refresh My Heart

  36. It is good to ask God to refresh your heart and renew your love. It is easy to fall out of love for God especially when a major heartbreak kicks in. But having knowledge of the Master and knowing that He is God in spite of everything, you will be able to ask for forgiveness and have Him refresh your heart. I love this song because it is easy to sing. The tone is moderate and the beat is easy to catch on to.

    Amen and amen to the God of Israel as He refreshes my heart. I love You Yah, the God of Glory.

  37. Soon And Very Soon

  38. This soon and very soon song has a rocking beat to it. It is one that will have you moving on your feet. Just to be decent and not wanting to shake too much, you let the rhythm ring out of your heart but it is very difficult for me not to move and rock to the beat. After all, I am praising God and having a glorious time. It should not matter how I am reacting to the song. This song is a reminder that the Lord will come soon.

    Glory, Hallelujah, and amen. Glory, for You are coming very soon.

  39. My Joy

  40. The quick beat and high note bring joy. What a joy for the Lord to take your mourning into dancing. As the song moves its rapid repetition, a person feels relief of any grief. This song reflects on God's goodness for eradicating any problem in life. This is a song that calls for a strong vocal just to move rapidly along from verse to verse. It is a joy to know God can do the impossible.

    Ata Adonia, ata Adonai, I want more of your joy.

  41. You Are God

  42. To know God is to know the power that lies within you. This song brings to remembrance the awesome power and glory of the Majesty. He is God of the Highest Mountain and God of the deepest sea. His love is great for you so why not worship Him. This is a moment to reflect on His total power and Love. This one is ranked high on my list and this song calls for respect for the Master.

    Give it to me Lord, Give it to me, eh, eh, give it to me, love, peace, health, and wealth as you are God of the highest mountain and God of the deepest sea.

  43. Beautiful One

  44. One just has to sit back and cling to the words of this song. The song tells how wonderful God is and God unfailing love. It continues to rant on how the cross has spoken mercy over us. We may not understand fully why God made the choice to pour His love over us as He did when He had Christ died for us. All we can do is accepted the fact and that is what that made it wonderful.

    Glory, Lord, glory, Lord, eh, eh, make my life complete in you eh, eh glory, glory, glory.

  45. God of All

  46. Sing God of all is like singing a catchy little song. The words are light and easy. All short notes with a swinging tune. We have come to praise you and lift your name on high. That is saying God you are all. The song moves on by repeating the first two lines, but to make it more meaningful, one should repeat the first two lines seven times for a blessing. God is all and of all in all the earth. Let's lift His name on high above everything. He is worthy. A person can sing this song while driving to work in his or her heart.

    God of Heaven, you are exalted. I come to you in brokenness. You are my King.

  47. Lord You're Beautiful

  48. When singing this song, the emphasis is on the word Beautiful.

    It is telling the Lord how beautiful He is. All one needs from this song is getting a connection with Jesus. His face is what one wants to see. The tune is light and does not require a strong voice. The words are an act of humility and require God's attention. But in order to get God's attention, give him worship. True worship is the focus for God to be on you as a child. The lyric moves on and on and ends with such fine words, “Your grace abounds to me”. It is an excellent tune and about to be my best.

    Lord, you are beautiful; your face is all I see. Oh, yes Lord, your face is all I see.

  49. Great is Thy Faithfulness

  50. Do not sit back and allow the choir to take all the blessings that come with this song. This one is a power house and is a favorite among churches. Great is God's faithfulness is the epitome of this song. Such words, blended with the tune, are doing a cleansing of the soul and breaking down the barrier between man and God. The heart is opening up and what is coming out is true worship. At time, the laity will stand in reverence whenever this song makes it on the church selection for that day. God forever will be as He is the Creator of this universe. Besides, the words, the tune is excellent and is very effective in softening the heart. The church can experience miracles during the chanting of this song. It is my number one choice.

    Yeah, yeah, hallelujah, hallelujah, great is God's faithfulness and amen and amen.
