'The Howling' by Rich Mullins. I had to pick one off his 'The World As Best As I Can Remember It, Part One', but they're all amazing - if you haven't heard that album you need to. Here are the lyrics for 'The Howling': you may well see some commonalities between this and my favourite secular song! I can see the iron horses' tracks
Pressed in the mud from the weight of all that steam and steel
But the wind don't blow where you want it to go
No, the wind just goes where it will and you follow
I can feel the breath of winter
Driving this snow across these newly-whited plains
Takes my breath from me and it leaves me falling
Then it picks me up again in its own strength
And I can hear the wild wind howling
And I can feel it in my bones
And I know that the howling will take me home
I can see some traveller's footprints
There's a little bit of blood in every step he made
I wonder what kind of burden he's bearing
That has cut him so deeply every step along the long, long way
In the west I see an evening
This scarlet thread stretched beneath the gathering dark
Red as the blood on the hands of the Savior
And rich as the mercy that flowed from His broken heart
And I can hear the wild wind howling
And I can feel it in my bones
And I know that the howling will take me home
These men of violence, they have made this a world full of wars
Oh God break Your silence and let Your justice shine forth
Show some mercy, Oh Lord
'Cause I can see a people dispossessed
Broken and brave in the face of so much fear
Driven from their homes by the greed of a nation
Whose treaties were as good as litter
Along the trail of their tears
I can see the Covenant colors
The sun and the rain have woven against the blue of the sky
And I know if we live we will live by His promise
I know He who made it and
And I'm sure that He would not lie
And I can hear the wild wind howling
And I can feel it in my bones
And I know that the howling will take me homeA short sample, courtesy of Amazon, is available here.

Currently it would have to be Devotion by the Newsboys. I'd swear this song was written for me. LOL.
all my world
all I've lost
the wrecks I've made here
the lives it cost
Your hand restores
Your words make whole
with all my soul
I thank You
I owe You
all my
devotion
all that I have to give
here's my devotion
You're all that it means to live
all my past
my tainted name
You stole its legacy
of pride and shame
You're all I love
You're all I fear
I'm drawing near
to face You
to know You
to show You
devotion ...
all that I have to give
here's my devotion
You're all that it means to live
You found me
in a shallow grave
You tracked me out from beneath it all
You healed me
saved me
in the nick of time
Your perfect time
You found me (found me)
in a shallow grave (in a shallow grave)
You called me out from beneath it all
You touched me (touched me)
saved me (saved me)
in the nick of time
in Your perfect time
I devote all I have to You
I devote all that You've made new
all You restored that day You bled
all that You brought back from the dead
here's my
devotion
all that I have to give
here's my devotion
You're all that it means to live ....

Just about any song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither. The first song that comes to mind is "Because He Lives". Halfstep Denise

"You Raise Me Up" by Selah and "I AM" by Mark Schultz (at this present time that is!  ) The Selah tune is more broader known as a Josh Groban tune. Seems they both recorded them near the same time, however, Josh Groban's version, being more secular, is more wider known and recognized.

Seek Ye First
Alleluia, He is Risen by Judi Stallwitz
Trading my Sorrows - don't know the artist
But those are only at this present time. As my spiritual needs change, so do my songs.
Some of the abuse survivors I work with have found that creating "healing music" CD's is an emotionally charged way to chronicle their healing journeys. What they do is burn a CD with the various songs that sustained them through particularly difficult, joyous, or painful parts of their journey to wholeness and freedom in True Jesus.
Listening to some of those CD's will blow your mind. I understand why when Lucifer fell, music became such a weapon in his arsenal.

Mine is "If I stand" by Rich Mullins, performed by Jars of Clay. There was time when singing this song was part of my morning ritual.
