Tunes for a Choose Rest Playlist

Sabbath for me always involves worship. As a teen, I would make a mix tape, drop it into the stereo, put on my headphones, and press play. I’d sit alone before my God in my bedroom and wash the world away as my heart lifted up to heaven through the melodies.
These days, I carry my music wherever I go on my phone. I can create a Sabbath moment in the middle of my day by just tuning in to life-healing lyrics that remind me that He alone is God.
I wanted to share with you some tunes that help breathe life into my weary spirit.
Choose Rest Tunes
Far be it from me to not believe,
Even when my eyes can’t see.
And this mountain that’s in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea.
Through it all, through it all,
My eyes are on You.
Through it all, through it all,
It is well.
So let go my soul and trust in Him.
The waves and wind still know His name.
At the whisper of Your voice we arise.
At the mention of Your name, we come alive.
We come before You now with voices raised.
Awaken us and raise us from these graves.
Breathe Your breath into these bones.
Breathe new life in-to these walls.
“Pursue/All I Need is You” by Hillsong Worship
I lift my hands and sing.
Surrender everything.
In You, I know I’m found.
My God, to You I’ll bow.
Now until forever,
Jesus, I surrender.
Show me what I don’t know,
More of you.
I’m desperate for your presence,
Longing to be with you.
Lead me to a new place,
More of you.
“My Heart is Yours” by Passion, Featuring Kristian Stanfill
My heart is Yours.
My heart is Yours.
Take it all.
Take it all.
My life in Your hands.
Before I bring my need,
I will bring my heart.
Before I lift my cares,
I will lift my arms.
I wanna know You.
I wanna find You,
In every season,
In every moment.
Before I bring my need,
I will bring my heart
And seek You
First
Oh this Love isn’t like anything you’ve ever seen.
There is no chain this Love can’t break.
It can open any door.
There is no chain this Love can’t break.
It can teach you to love.
There is no chain this Love can’t break.
It’ll help you forgive.
There is no chain this Love can’t break.
Forgive yourself, those who have hurt you.
There is no chain this Love can’t break.
“Let it Be Jesus” by Christy Nockels
Let it be Jesus,
The first name that I call.
Let it be Jesus,
My song inside the storm.
I’ll never need another…
For me to live is Christ.
For me to live is Christ.
God, I breathe Your name
Above everything.
Let it be, let it be Jesus.
Let it be, let it be Jesus.
“Shores” by Bryan and Katie Torwalt
All depression walks away
On the shores of Your great love.
And let addiction and all shame
Be laid down at Your feet.
Come awake, awake my soul.
I feel justice rising.
Breathe new life into these bones.
I can feel Your heartbeat.
Freedom, take hold of my heart.
Spirit of God, come fill this place.
Jesus, You’re all that I want.
There’s no space that His love can’t reach.
There’s no place where we can’t find peace.
There’s no end to Amazing Grace.
Take me in with Your arms spread wide.
Take me in like an orphan child,
Never let go, never leave my side.
I am
Holding onto You.
I am
Holding onto You.
In the middle of the storm,
I am holding on.
I am!
“Be Still” by Bethel Music, featuring Stephany Gretzinger
Be still my heart and know, You are God alone.
Stop thinking so much, and just let go.
Be still my soul and rest; humbly I confess
In my weakness, Your strength is perfect.For You alone are God; there will be no other,
And You have won my heart, more than any other.
So I will give it all, ‘Cause You gave it all for me.“Bless the Lord,” Oh my soul cries out,
All that is within me praise.
“Bless the Lord,” Oh my soul cries out,
All that is within me praise.
