Spring has sprung, which means it’s officially the season of shaking off old things and embracing new ones. Maybe you had a tough winter, or an enjoyable one. Maybe you’re excited for spring, or you’re dreading it.
Whatever you have been feeling, one of the best things you can do right now is set some time aside to worship God. Listening to worship music has a way of helping us focus our sight on our good and perfect Father, who is worthy of endless praise. We’ve compiled a small list of some of our favorite newer worship albums that we’ve had on repeat. You won’t want to skip any of these:
10. Passion – Call on Heaven
It’s hard to capture a live experience on an album, but Call on Heaven is as close as it gets. With the entire Passion Music team and a few of our favorite worship artists like Cody Carnes, Brooke Ligertwood and Crowder, this album is what you need for your personal worship session. Call on Heaven features 14 new and familiar songs that will make you feel like you’re in a massive stadium in Atlanta worshipping with more than 55,000 students.
9. Ellie Holcomb – All of My Days
Today, Ellie Holcomb drops All of My Days, an album inspired by Psalms that have personally spoken to her through various times in her life. “Singing Scripture has been equivalent to a physical act of burying seeds of hope and truth and light deep in my heart,” Holcomb said. Holcomb turns the written word into a stunning melody full of truth and hope for any situation you find yourself in.
