The Power of Christian Songs to Help You Fight the Good Fight of Faith
The Role of Inspirational Lyrics in Christian Songs
Does music affect your mood? It most certainly does. One thing that is needed during bouts of depression in the life of the Christian believer who is experiencing what it means to fight the good fight of faith is a mood change. This can be accomplished through worshiping God by listening and singing to Christian Songs with meaningful lyrics relating to struggles that occur in our walk with Jesus. This doesn't mean that your depression bouts won't return, but you are fighting to be encouraged and to hold on to your spiritual life in Christ until you are delivered--and you will be delivered if you are truly walking with God. When we worship the Lord in the midst of our confusion, weariness, anger and bitterness, we express to him that regardless of how weak we are, we want to stand, and we invite his strength into our spirit. We have the examples of God's servants worshiping him to be encouraged in the midst of grave dangers of which they grew so weary.
Psalm 42:5 says, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance." The need to sing praises is strongly emphasized and literally repeated in the single scripture of Psalm 47:6 when we read, "Sing praises to God, sing praises, sing praise unto our King, sing praises." The Bible tells us that Job faithfully worshiped the Lord to help him fight the good fight of faith in his walk with Jesus (Job 1:20). The apostle Paul and Silas worshiped when they were thrown in jail, suffering for their obedience to Christ. "Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and made their feet fast (bound) in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God..." (Acts 16:24-25). The scripture of Ephesians 5:19 says, "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." We can find much encouragement in our walk with Jesus in Christian songs.
Which Christian Songs Inspire During the Good Fight of Faith?
You might want to select Christian songs with lyrics that relate to trials and tribulations through which the genuine follower of Christ faces because they speak specifically about the good fight of faith and what it means to endure it. They speak of the thoughts and torment that the enemy forcefully attempts to plant and cultivate in your mind and of the experience of leaning on Jesus and being strengthened by him in the midst of what seems like helplessness. You might or might not have another person by your side, but if you can worship by Christian songs, it is a very good idea to do so.
You might have trouble finding many modern Christian songs that will help you to be encouraged; therefore, it's probably a good idea to consider including the old hymns in your collection. Below are just a few recommendations that include modern and old Christian songs with lyrics that were inspired by the scriptures and the personal struggles of the authors. A link to the lyrics and to where you may listen to them (the old hymns) free of charge is included.
