Music Playlist #29 God, the friend for all seasons
Israel Houghton – Friend of God
Album: Songs 4 Worship Ultimate (The Greatest Praise & Worship Songs of All Time)
Friend of God, inspired by James 2:23 is a powerful song. It’s a simple phrased reminder of how God views those who love and follow Him as dear friends. Imagine the benefits of friendship with the creator of the universe..
Andy Mineo – Friends
Album: II: The Sword EP
Andy Mineo is a talented artist, one of my all-time favourites because of the honesty and creativity he puts into his music. In this song he talks about what true friendships should be like. I hope you enjoy this well produced record.
Casting Crowns – Jesus, Friend of Sinners
As believers we often find it easier to draw solid lines and put barriers up between us and the World. Casting crowns reminds us that Jesus came to befriend sinners, like we once were, and that we should always show love and show grace towards those who are yet to accept God’s grace.
We Will Worship // Should’ve Been
Album: YHWH
We will Worship is a group of artists who came together to make music for God. In this song they remind us that it should have been us paying the price for our sins but God sacrificed everything in our place. Through his redeeming we have the opportunity to be friends with Him as His love for us has no equal.
Oliver Mtukudzi – Hakuna Mumwe
Album: Rumbidzai Jehovah
Hakuna Mumwe is a song by the late legendary Zimbabwean artist Oliver ‘Tuku’ Mtukudzi. The name of the song translates to ‘There is No Other’. Though he is not traditionally a gospel artist this message is about how there is no other friend like Jesus who sticks with us through the good, the bad and the ugly.
