Maybe you can help me . . . .
I'm so excited. We recently rented a storage unit and I've been able to store boxes of my books there, freeing up a room in our house. I'm now turning that room into a prayer room, complete with trickling fountain (small-sits on a desk), Bible, journal and worship music--(okay, and a few candles, but please don't think I'm a New Ager). :-)
This room is wonderful because I can shut out the critters in our house--a dog and a cat. When I try to pray in the living room--when I kneel by my chair, our dog crawls onto my back and lays down!! I have the picture to prove it, but decided not to share it since it gives an unflattering view of my back side. :-) If I lock the dog out, our cat comes into the room and sits on the chair, meowing.
Anyway, here's my question. I'm not familiar with a lot of the new songs. Just haven't been listening much to the radio. So I'm looking for quiet, worshipful songs. Here's what I have so far:
My Life is in Your Hands
The Potter's Hand
The Prayer
Revelation Song
God with Us
Blessings
Adonai
Held
I LOVE those songs. I play them while I write in my journal and they quiet my heart before the Lord. But I've played them over and over and over. So, if you wouldn't mind sharing, could you tell me some of your favorite worship songs so I can add to my list?
Thank you!

i love Days of Elijah, Here I Am To Worship, Mighty to Save, How Great is Our God, Blessed Be Your Name.
Well, sorry, Diann, Colleen named the ones I love. But I also love Great is They Faithfulness, Amazing Grace, and several of the much older ones I can sing by heart because I grew up singing them.
As for your dog climbing onto your back, my cat does that to me in even less appealing circumstances. Let's just say I completely close the bathroom door now.
one of my fav, is Mercyme ~
"I can only imagine"
and Chris Rice , he's got some good one's
But my real real fav's are Celtic Hymns :)
I love the sound of your room.
as for the candles , watch out if ya use any fruit smelling ones,
I use a apple smelling one , and when DH got home , he thought I had baked him a pie! so guess what I had too do! :)
There is a song called "Audience of One", by Big Daddy Weave, that is my absolute favorite song... every time I hear it, I get this picture of approaching God's throne in worship. It always gets my heart and my thoughts in the right place! "Revelation Song" by Phillips Craig & Dean is another good one!
I love a lot of the older ones and I adore hymns. However, if you are looking for something a bit more contemporary, "Made Me Glad" moves me every time.
Lyrics:
I will bless the Lord forever
And I will trust Him at all times
He has delivered me from all fear
And he has set my feet upon a rock
And I will not be moved
And I'll say of the Lord....
You are my shield
My strength
My portion
Deliverer
My shelter
Strong tower
My very present help in time of need
Whom have I in Heaven but you?
There's none I desire beside you
You have made me glad
And I'll say of the Lord....
CHORUS:
You are my shield
My strength
My portion
Deliverer
My shelter
Strong tower
My very present help in time of need
If you are looking for some nice worship CDs, Travis Cottrell has some lovely ones.
This one is my absolute favorite, though.

Be My Everything by Tim Hughes, the Hillsong United CD with (of course) Hillsong and Delirious?, Jesus's Name by Ryan Delamore, Glory to the King by Chris Lizotte - just to name a few.
Love these suggestions! Thank you so much! I'm going to listen to the ones and maybe add them to my list. Thanks again!
Diann,
The name of Chris Rice's cd is "SHORT TERM MEMORIES" there are some very good songs on it
:)
My favorite is an oldie, "Your Beloved" by Vineyard. I also like Hillsong's worship songs like "Eagle's Wings" and "From the Inside Out (Everlasting)".
Valerie, thanks for sharing those lyrics. What a great song! By the way, I love Travis Cottrell songs!!!
Diann, I think I understand the kind of music you are seeking for your special room; we may be kindred spirits. Here's my list and it's a good one! Start with "Unredeemed" by Selah from their album, You deliver me, Blessed/Rachel Lampa,Yahweh/Tal & Acacia,Undo me/Rush of Fools,Still My God/Avalon,The Anchor Holds/Ray Boltz,I will rise/Chris Tomlin, Hope Now/Addison Rose, Hold me Jesus/Big Daddy Weave, Let the waters Rise/Mike's Chair, Jesus, Lover of my soul/Darlene Zschech, My Redeemer Lives/Nicole c. Mullins,Take it all/Third Day, I'd need a Savior/Among the Thirsty, Don't let go/Adam Cunningham, Mighty to Save/Laura Story,Arms Open Wide/Jason Allen Rich, and finish up with "It is Well"/Gianna Jessen and then research this young vocalist's story...It's amazing! Praying for you.
Never Saw You Coming (Bebo Norman?)
I'm Reaching For You (Lincoln Brewster)
I love this oldie I'll Worship Only at the Feet of Jesus...mine is by Gaither Vocal Band. To me, it is a great praise hymn!
