Gospel all the way...

Even though Music is all about an individual's perspective, to some, it is secular songs, while to some people like me, it is gospel. So, I will be responding based on my personality. Listening to just any kind of music isn't my thing, and those around me can attest to that. I have my favorites, and my number one choice is gospel music. I generally steer clear of secular songs, except in social situations where they're played. My phone is filled exclusively with gospel tracks, reflecting my deep appreciation for the genre. The uplifting messages and spiritual themes resonate with me on a personal level, providing comfort and inspiration. Gospel music enriches my soul, and I believe in its power to transcend everyday challenges. It truly is the soundtrack to my life.

What I love to do most, especially in the morning when I wake up, is listen to worship songs. I am so passionate about this, even though I don’t have a sweet voice to sing. Nevertheless, I will sing and I must sing praises to my God. My favorite music is gospel, a genre that can get me lost and find me again.

There are particular worship songs I can listen to over and over again without ever getting bored or tired, and those songs are I Love You, Lord and Be lifted above all other gods

Here are the beautiful and meaningful lyrics that caught my attention:

I love You, Lord,
Oh, your mercy never fails me, and all my days, I've been held in your hands.
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head...
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God.
All my life you have been faithful
All my life you have been so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
I love your voice
You have led me through the fire
On the darkest night, you were close like no other
I've known you as a father
I've known you as a friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God.
Your goodness is running after me
It's running after me
My life lay down
I'm surrendered now
I give you everything because
Your goodness is running after me
Running after me...
A song composer by Cece Winans

Be lifted
Oh Be lifted
Above all other gods
We lay our Crowns
And worship You
All Glorious God
We praise your name
We lay our Crowns
and worship You
Composed by MOG music

These are songs I remember any time I'm down in body and spirit, and immediately, it has a way of lifting me up from whatever emotions I might have. It's a good worship song I can never be tired of, no matter what.

These songs serve as a profound reminder of God’s mercy in waking us up each day without any cost. It is a song of gratitude, one that I give to God daily. He is a wonderful God.
