Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on September 30, 2018 We've all heard the Bible verse, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son." Do you remember that love every day? Do you see it in the sunrise? Feel it in the gentle breeze? Hear it in a song? Music is a wonderful way to be reminded about just how much God loves us, and songs about God's love and essential Christian rock albums will help remind you to love your neighbor—even when he or she is not behaving in a way that is very "love inspiring." 01 of 21 'His Kind of Love': Group 1 Crew Fervent Records From the song "His Kind of Love": His kind of love (His kind of love)Is reckless for usHis kind of love is will never give up‘Til the whole world knows how far He went to showHis kind of loveHis kind of love Group 1 Crew tells us that God's love for us isn't something that we can easily explain. It defies logic and reason, yet it is. 02 of 21 'How He Loves': David Crowder*Band Sparrow Records/sixstepsrecords From the song "How He Loves": He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,And I realize just how beautiful You are,And how great Your affections are for me. The David Crowder*Band is a perfect end to a playlist before the school (or work) day because he tells us the biggest truth we can hear: Jesus loves us! 03 of 21 'Learn to Love': Leeland Essential From the song "Learn to Love": Pray for each otherStand in togetherWe'll see his kingdom comeShining like the sunSomething is stirringA new day is callingJesus Is the kingWe lift our voice and sing Leeland's "Learn to Love" tells us that we're all in this thing called life together. Instead of building little fiefdoms (think high school or office cliques and/or socioeconomic groups that never cross into each other's camps), we should come together to build a kingdom. In a "me, me, me" world, we need an "us" revolution. 04 of 21 'Love Is Here': Tenth Avenue North Integrity From the song "Love Is Here": Love is hereLove is nowLove is pouring from his hands, from his browsLove is near, it satisfiesStreams of mercy flowing from his side, yeah Spending eternity in heaven with Jesus is going to be an amazing, wonderful, beautiful thing, but the beauty of Christ's love for us is that we don't have to wait until we get there to experience it. As Tenth Avenue North so aptly put it, love is here and love is now. 05 of 21 'The Same Love': Paul Baloche Integrity Music From the song "The Same Love": The same love that set the captives freeThe same love that opened eyes to seeIs calling us all by nameYou are calling us all by nameThe same God that spread the heavens wideThe same God that was crucifiedIs calling us all by nameYou are calling us all by name Paul Baloche calls us to reflect on the fact that the love that gave us eternity knows us by name. How awesome is that? 06 of 21 'Won't You Be My Love': MercyMe INO Records From the song "Won't You Be My Love": Won't you be My voice callingWon't you be My hands healingWon't you be My feet walking into a broken worldWon't you be My chain-breakerWon't you be My peacemakerWon't you be My hope and joyWon't you be My Love It doesn't get much plainer than what MercyMe says, folks: Loving your neighbor means actually trying to be like Christ, and that takes more work than simply showing up to church once a week. 07 of 21 'Your Love Never Fails': Newsboys Inpop Records From the song "Your Love Never Fails": The wind is strong and the water’s deepBut I’m not alone here in these open seasCause Your love never failsThe chasm is far too wideI never thought I’d reach the other sideBut Your love never fails No matter how far we run, how hard we fall, or how badly we hurt, the Newsboys remind us that God's love never changes or fails. 08 of 21 'Banner of Love': Luminate Sparrow Records From the song "Banner of Love": I want to be Your loveI want to lift You higherI want to reach out and touch this worldI'm gonna reach out and love Your worldWe want to show Your loveWe want to lift You higherWe're gonna reach out and change this world We shouldn't just talk about living and loving like Christ does; Luminate says we should be a banner of his love for all the world to see. 09 of 21 'Because of Your Love': Phil Wickham INO From the song "Because of Your Love": Innocent and Holy kingYou died to set the captive freeAll because of your loveLord you gave your life for meSo I will give my life for youAll because of your loveAll because of your love The powerful message in this Phil Wickham song makes it clear that Jesus loves us beyond rhyme or reason. 10 of 21 'Don't Have Love': Holly Starr Artist Garden Entertainment From the song "Don't Have Love": You can have money, and cool friends, a ring on your left handBut it's never gonna be enough if you don't have loveYou don't have loveYou can have a fast car, a mansion, and everyone's attentionBut it's never gonna be enough if you don't have loveYou don't have love, you don't have love Holly Star sings the truth. You can have all of the stuff in the world—the money, the mansions, the movie-star lifestyle—but without love, it all means absolutely nothing. 11 of 21 'Everyday Your Love Is New': Esterlyn VSR From the song "Everyday Your Love Is New": It's a fight that we're all gonna have to faceTo live a life where we're nothing apart from graceOh Jesus make our will Your very ownWe feel the pull of wonderWe wonder every dayWe need Your love to lead usTo show us the way Our love is fickle and changes with the tides. Don't forget, Esterlyn says, the love that Jesus has for us is as eternal as it gets, and though we may find ourselves walking a path we shouldn't be, he never turns his back on us. 12 of 21 'For Love of You': Audrey Assad Sparrow Records From the song "For Love of You": For love of YouI'm a sky on fireFor love of YouI come aliveIt's Your Sacred Heart within me beatingYour voice within me singing(out for love of You) If you could sit down and have a face-to-face conversation with God, would you share your heart like Audrey Assad does? 13 of 21 'Let Us Love': Needtobreathe Atlantic From the song "Let Us Love": Let us love (like we were children)Make us feel (like we're still living)in a world I know is burning to the ground Call this Needtobreathe tune an anthem or name it a call to arms...for that matter, call it whatever you like, as long as you listen to the lyrics. 14 of 21 'Love Has Come': Mark Schultz Word From the song "Love Has Come": Well, I know this life is filled with sorrowAnd there are days when the pain just lasts and lastsBut I know there will come a dayWhen all our tears are washed away with a break in the cloudsHis glory coming down and in that moment Nowhere in the Bible does it promise us that accepting Christ means a life of rainbows and roses. It does, however, let us know that no matter how bad things are, we do not walk alone (Hebrews 13:5). Mark Schultz notes that there will be days when no matter how hard we try, things just don't go our way and we end up getting hurt. Knowing that all of the days of sorrow in this life added together and multiplied by 1,000 won't even come close to the joy of one single day in his presence somehow makes today's hurts more bearable. 15 of 21 'Love Is Making a Way': Sixteen Cities Centricity Music From the song "Love Is Making a Way": Like a thief in the nightYou come by surpriseYour mercy captures meAnd what I’ve done and who I wasIs not who I will beAll because... The title track from Sixteen Cities' 2012 album tells us how God and his love changes us for the better. 16 of 21 'More Like Falling in Love': Jason Gray Centricity Music From the song "More Like Falling in Love": It ought to beMore like falling in loveThan something to believe inMore like losing my heartThan giving my allegianceCaught up, called outCome take a look at me nowIt's like I'm falling, ohIt's like I'm falling in love Jason Gray describes perfectly what being a Christian should be like. It shouldn't be about religion and a list of rules; instead, it should be about a relationship and love. 17 of 21 'Some Kind of Love': Phil Stacey Reunion From the song "Some Kind of Love": What kind of love goes into the darknessAnd pulls you back when you’re on the edgeWhat kind of love finds you when you’re hopelessAnd gives you another second chance Starting a day off with "American Idol" finalist Phil Stacey's pop/soft rock "Some Kind of Love" reminds us that today is the first day of our second (or 7,000th) chance. What a great way to start the day. 18 of 21 'The Proof of Your Love': For KING & COUNTRY Fervent Records/Word From the song "The Proof of Your Love": If I sing but don't have loveI waste my breath with every songI bring an empty voice, a hollow noiseIf I speak with a silver tongueConvince a crowd but don't have loveI leave a bitter taste with every word I say KING & COUNTRY tells us that love is a living, breathing thing. It's a savior come to life, a deed done from the heart, a word that saved the world. 19 of 21 'You Are Loved': Heather Williams Fair Trade Services From the song "You Are Loved": But you don't have to be afraidNo, you don't have to be ashamedCause you are, you are, you are loved When you are hurting, lost and alone, Heather Williams wants you to remember that you are loved by the one who created the universe. 20 of 21 'You Loved Me First': MIKESCHAIR Curb Records From the song "You Loved Me First": When I was wandering, when I was hidingJesus, You found me and You loved me firstGod of full mercy, take all the gloryJesus, you found me and You loved me firstYou loved me first Mikeschair reinforces that even before we came to know Christ, he already loved us so much that he gave his life for us. 21 of 21 'Your Love Is a Song': Switchfoot Atlantic Records From the song "Your Love Is a Song": Your love is a symphonyAll around meRunning through meYour love is a melodyUnderneath meRunning to me Switchfoot notes here that God's love is like the air we breathe, always there but so constant that sometimes we don't even realize it. This love is a song that forever plays in the background of our lives and through us and to us.
