Contemporary Christian Music Listeners!

[Laurie]

I need your help!!! I've found music to be very healing for me dealing with the loss of my sister recently to breast cancer. My mom continues to struggle and I would like to be able to offer her a disc of music to help her. Can you think of any songs in particular you've listened to that could help with this endeavor?

I already have:
Cry Out To Jesus--Third Day
Praise You in this Storm--Casting Crowns
Resurrection--Nicol Sponberg
You Raise Me Up--Josh Groban AND Sela
I Will Rise--Chris Tomlin
On My Knees--Jaci Rodriguez

Does anyone have anything else that would be helpful?

I know it's not CC, but you could throw in "Address in the Stars" by Caitlin and Will

Oh Laurie, I LOVE Casting Crowns.

Here's some other favorites that have good messages that may pertain to your situation

Barlow Girl – Beautiful Ending

Definitely this one:

Let me know if you want more, I'm sure I can find some. I listed to the station that has all the Contemporary Christian, so I'm sure I could come up with more.

Thanks Alli--I found Never Alone by BarlowGirl so I added your suggestion of Beautiful Ending and also added There Will Be a Day by Jeremy Camp. I'm going to compile this CD and give it to my mom for Christmas.

"I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe

Or, and I know this isn't exactly CC, what about "When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton? I went to a funeral for a girl who was killed in a car accident, where that song was played. It was very appropriate and beautiful.

 

[tunes]

Minrex - Those are both beautiful songs. I am neither a country fan nor a Christian music fan - but those were both just wonderful.

 

[Laurie]

I added The Healing by Michael English and Wynonna AND I Can Only Imagine by both Mercy Me AND Wynonna! I really love Wynonna and I'm not a big country fan lol!

 

[lauralynne]

Held - Natalie Grant

 

[shubbles]

marvelous light- charlie hall band

Theres no specific one but "david crowder band" has some pretty good ones.

 

[Spoof]

I'm also not a fan of Christian music, but after going to an Amy Grant concert where Michael W. Smith performed I picked up his Christmas CD.

Very uplifting Christmas music, it's the only type I listen to besides the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Place in this World

Entertaining Christmas light synchronization to Gloria.

I know this isn't exactly the best title of a song for this situation, but then again, the lyrics are quite fitting... (and yes, I know it's not Christian, but...)

"Stand Up For Cancer" VIDEO - LYRICS

And I'm most certain that I've heard plenty of Amy Grant songs that would totally fit the bill here, but haven't found them yet...will get back with ya.

This one always makes me cry, but it's a great song. You can decide if it's something you'd like to include or not... Celine Dion "Fly"

And what about:
"One Moment In Time" Whitney Houston
"You Raise Me Up" Josh Groban
"Hero" Mariah Carey

"Healing Hands of God" - Jeremy Camp LYRICS
"Understand" - Jeremy Camp LYRICS
