my jams

Hymns and other church music cannot be beat when it comes to lifting me up. There is always such a powerful message to be found in them.

but... on those days when I am cleaning or looking to change it up these are some of the songs I have had on repeat more than once...


I avoid music videos, so when looking up the songs look up "lyrics videos" to avoid seeing the music videos.  I'll update this list as I find new favorites :)

new favorite song!!
Thy Will- Hillary Scott & The Scott Family

for when I am angry...

Because of You- Kelly Clarkson
Should've been us- Tori Kelly
Over it- Katharine McPhee
I'm Not The Only One- Sam Smith (the PMJ cover is way better!)
So Goodbye- Chester See (definitely look up the lyrics video, his isn't the best)
