Worship Songs... you gotta love them. But sometimes they can seem a bit cheesy and repetitive.

You want to spend some time listening to Christian music that will center you and let you worship through your earphones while walking to classes or studying in the library.

But sometimes all of the songs you have to choose from seem kind of lame. Christian music does not align with modern music tastes but instead forms its own separate category of cheesy lyrics and out-of-date background music. If you don't know what I'm talking about, turn on WBFJ or K-Love or whatever your local Christian radio station is.

Don't get me wrong, there are some artists and music that I love! Lauren Daigle!! Housefires!! They're literally fire! However, a majority of the Christian community may still not know that there are non-cheesy worship options that are actually nice to listen to. So here is a list of my favorite atypical worship songs:

1. On the Banks// Chris Renzema

'Cause your water's my redemption

Into your kingdom, your heart, God Most High

And your blood is the pow'r that breaks off my shackles

Ends all my battles, I find rest in You, Most High"

2. Turn// Future of Forestry

"Then morning rays through the haze

The golden blaze got a hold of you

It was a vision of light

That turned you around"

3. Sticks and Stones// Kings Kaleidescope

"Longing to give and taste forgiveness

Dying to live a pure religion

Settle the rush to chase submission

Open my eyes and soul to listen"

4. Losing My Religion// Lauren Daigle

"I'm losing my religion, and finding something new

'Cause I need something different, and different looks like You"

5. Let Your Blood Plead For Me// Sojourn

"Let your blood plead for me

Wash me clean

I believe, Lord, I believe

Your blood has covered me"

6. Melt My Soul To Love// Red Mountain Church

"The power, the sweetness of that voice,

My stony heart does move;

Makes me in Christ my Lord rejoice

And melts my soul to love"

7. Jumping from Jaded Heights// Kings Kaleidescope

"Show me every grace I lost the fight to see

I'm coming around

Remedy the piece of faith that broke in me"

8. Farther Along// Josh Garrels

"The good man dies, the bad man thrives

And Jesus cries because he loves 'em both

We're all castaways in need of rope"

9. Not in a Hurry// Will Reagan

"I'm learning to listen

Just to rest in Your nearness

I'm starting to notice

You are speaking"

10. Peace Like a River// Page CXVI

"come to the waters

watch it flow, with his love

where your heart won't wither

but grow"

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
