Sometimes I find God in places where no one intended Him to be. Many times, those instances occur for me in music. I thought I would share my playlist of God-Songs, specifically ones that were not originally intended to be about God. Some of these I imagine coming from God, some of them as prayers to Him, some of them just about Him in general. Or all three of those, intermixed. I love that, when God speaks through art regardless of the artist's intentions. I have more of those types of songs on my God-Songs playlist than I do songs purposefully written about Him. Maybe not all of them on this list will make sense to you, but (if you end up taking the time to follow the links and listen)I hope a couple of them do. If you listen, listen with a mind open to hidden--and sometimes unconventional--connections. Maybe you'll find one or two that connect you to Him, too. And if you have any song suggestions, I would absolutely love to hear them.
