Holy Week is just around the corner.

We, as Christians, go through many emotions during this extremely special week. We go through confusion on Maundy Thursday when we take communion just as Jesus did with his disciples, gut-wrenching despair on Good Friday when Jesus was crucified. The sadness continues on Holy Saturday as we yearn for Jesus, and then. pure joy on Sunday when we celebrate His resurrection.

It's an incredible week.

I'm fortunate enough to work at a church where we have a worship service on every day during Holy Week, and you feel every emotion that people feel when you're sitting in the back, taking it all in.

Personally, Easter is my favorite holiday. And worshipping is my favorite thing to do.

I've composed a list of my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter Sunday. They're all powerful, no matter what tempo they're at. It doesn't matter if it's slow or fast, the message gets across, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

I feel in this day and age that we don't focus on our worshipping outside of church, and I definitely fall into that category. Sometimes I'm so busy with school and other commitments that I forget to dedicate just a little time singing to Jesus. As Psalm 95:1 says, "let us sing to the LORD, let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Praising God is one of the most important things we could do, and in this oh so special week of Holy Week, all I want to do is sing.

So without further ado, here are my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter:

1. "He Has Won" -- Vertical Church Band

2. "In Christ Alone" -- Passion

3. "Death Was Arrested" -- Northpoint

4. "Build Your Kingdom Here" -- Rend Collective

5. "Resurrecting" -- Elevation Worship

6. "Glorified" -- Jared Anderson

7. "Only Wanna Sing" -- Hillsong Young & Free

8. "Spirit of the Living God" -- Vertical Church Band

9. "Great I AM" -- New Life Worship

10. "Multiplied" -- NEEDTOBREATHE

11. "He is Jesus" -- Northpoint

12. "Fix My Eyes" -- For King and Country

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
