Throne Thursday | Top 3 Most Powerful Worship Songs

Welcome to another Throne Thursday! Today I will be telling you about three songs that I think are really powerful and moving. Worship is something that I look forward to in church. Music is meant to move you and to cause certain emotions in you. Worship does that to me. I have said in previous posts that I feel the Holy Spirit when I am in worship. This post is purely my opinion so it does not have to be agreed with. I hope you enjoy!

1. We Believe 

This song is all about proclaiming that you believe in the One True God. It is talking about that we believe in the death, burial and resurrection. Ultimately we believe that He is coming back again because he died for our sins. God is our only salvation. He has given us new life. God is the only foundation for our life. He helps us get back up when we fall into temptations. The power of God is greater than the gates of Hell. God's unconditional love will never fade. All of these things we proclaim when singing this song!

2. The King is Here

The King is Here is about our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is here, inside of us! His love will never fail us. Jesus has overcome death for us so we worship and praise His name.We can never be the same if Jesus never died on the cross for us. Therefore, we will give all the glory to Him. We are here on earth to praise God. He is our purpose. This song is all about rejoicing that our God reigns and he is here; he is present in our lives.

3. The Great I Am

This song speaks about how great God is and how He is the only worthy one. The name King of Majesty is so powerful that it makes demons flee. The power of the Great I am is so immense that no one can stand before Him. God is the only Holy one. God is THE great I Am. God is everything. When singing this song in worship I think about how big God is and how powerful he is. I also think about how He is in control of everything. God is the Way and the Truth and the Life. (John 14:6)


"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord." Psalm 150:6

Busy Bees

In today's society, everyone is so busy with work or school or whatever, that I feel like we don't often stop and reflect on what's going on around us and what our priorities are. We just go through the motions. I know that I, for one, am guilty of this. Last semester I took one less class than I did the semester before so I had more free time. It led me to think, "What do I do now that I have so much free time?" I proceeded to try and get a job but I didn't get any call backs.

However, I realized that I am not living my life the way that I should be. My priorities were not straight. I felt like I NEEDED a job or something else that would keep me busy. My grandmother told me that she didn't think I needed a job because I am a full time college student and that I have the rest of my life to work. She was right.

But there is one thing that I should have been putting more time into and it was not getting a job. I should have been putting more time into prayer, meditating and reading the Bible. This is something that I struggle with. In my Management class last semester, we had a guest speaker. He talked about how he took an hour out of every day to be with the Lord. I got to thinking about this and I thought, "Can I do that?" The answer is yes! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, right?

This semester has been crazy busy already. I am taking harder classes and more of them. I am pledging a social club. And in between all of that I am praying and reading the Bible every night. A lot of times I get lazy and I think I can skip reading the Bible tonight but I quickly snap myself out of it and think, "I can take just a few minutes out of my day today to read God's Word." With all of that said, I am not trying to brag and say that I am doing everything right as a busy college student because that is NOT the case. All I am saying is that here IS enough time in the day for God. You can never be too busy for God.

Ask yourself this,"What am I doing here? What is my purpose?" Is it an earthly thing? Maybe you need to rethink things. I sure do. For a while I thought that my purpose was to get a job and earn money to help pay for college. That's an earthly thing that I was trying to make my purpose. But I only have one purpose. I believe that my purpose is to GLORIFY God in all that I do. We can't satisfy our purpose without Him.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2
