Use These 15 Prayerful Worship Songs to Sing to the Lord

These prayerful worship songs helped me talk to God during individual prayer time.

As a young believer, I find it hard to pray. And when I do find some words to pray, it became repetitive when I relied on them too much. I realised that many of my prayers are requests. How about just praying to praise God?

These prayerful worship songs helped me to pray while I sing. I sing them to Abba God as acknowledgements of the grace, mercy and love He gave to me.

I pray that these worship songs, like incense rising, carry my praises to Abba God. They’re not just lyrics; they’re heartbeats, echoes of devotion.”

He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.

Psalm 40:3 WEB

May these songs be your soul’s refuge, lifting you toward the heavens too.

Above All by Lenny LeBlanc

Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth

As the Deer by Marty Nystrom

As the deer panteth for the water So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire And I long to worship Thee

You alone are my strength, my shield To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire And I long to worship Thee

You're my friend And You are my brother Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other So much more than anything

Face to Face by New Creation Worship

Lord I come, as I am
Unreserved, at Your feet
You draw me closer, into Your arms of love
Just one gaze, time stands still
Just one touch, hearts are healed
Nothing else matters, when You are in this place

Face to face with You
Face to face with You
Here I stand in awe and wonder
In the presence of my Lord

Every fear will fade
Every tear You wipe away
I am complete, I am made whole
In Your presence

I am complete, I am made whole
Face to face

For You Alone by Don Harris

You are the peace that guards my heart
My help in time of need
You are the hope that leads me on
And brings me to my knees
For there I find You waiting
And there I find relief
So with all my heart I'll worship
And unto You Ill sing

CHORUS:
For You alone deserve all glory
For You alone deserve all praise
Father we worship and adore You
Father we long to see Your face

For You alone deserve all glory
For You alone deserve all praise
Father we love You
And we worship You this day

I’m Held By Your Love

Lyrics and music are written by Karen Lim from New Creation Church Singapore in 2001.

I'm held by Your love, upheld by Your strength
On your shoulders You bore me, by Your faith I stand

Cherished by You Lord, treasured in Your sight
So close to Your heart, held firm in Your hand

So awesome is Your love So mighty is Your hand
On eagle's wings You carry me Your grace shall be my strength

So perfect is Your love You sacrificed Your son
Amazing love reached out to me With joy to You I come

Not by my wisdom, not by my strength
Gently You guide me, lead me by hand

Total surrender, Jesus I am Yours
Now and forever, in Christ I now stand

I'm held by Your love, upheld by Your strength

I Want to Be Where You are by Don Moen

I just want to be where You are
Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don't want to worship from afar
Draw me near to where You are

I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place where You are
I just want to be with You

I want to be where You are
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
And surrounded by Your glory

In Your presence
That's where I always want to be
I just want to be
I just want to be with You

O my God You are my strength and my song
And when I'm in Your presence
Though I'm weak, You're always strong

I just want to be
I just want to be with You

In Whom I Can Trust by Steven Wee

You are the Lord, In whom I can trust.
You are the Rock, I can stand upon.
 
Every step of the way, You take my hand and say
You’ll always be here, right beside me.
When I call on You, I know You’ll come to me.
 
You are my Lord, In whom I can trust.
You’re my Fortress, You’re my Deliverer,
My Shield, my Strength.
 
For all of my days, my hope in You Jesus.
You loved me with Your life, You are the Rock of my salvation.
In whom I can trust

There is None Like You by Lenny LeBlanc

There is none like You
No one else can touch my heart like You do
And I could search for all eternity, Lord
And find, there is none like You

Your mercy flows like a river so wide
And healing comes from Your hand
And suffering children are safe in Your arms
There is none like You

To Keep Your Lovely Face by Graham Kendrick

Written by Graham Kendrick in 1983. A short and simple prayer to leave all baggage down. “No rival throne survive. No other love compete.“

To keep Your lovely face
Ever before my eyes
This is my prayer
Make it my strong desire

That in my secret heart
No other love competes
No rival throne survives
And I serve only You

When I Look into Your Holiness by Wayne and Cathy Perrin

When I look into your holiness
When I gaze into your loveliness
When all things that surround me
become shadows in the light of You.

When I found the joy of reaching your heart.
When your will becomes enthroned in my life
When all things that surround me
become shadows in the light of You.

I worship You, I worship You,
The reason I live is to worship
You

How we’ve waited
For moments like this

Have Your way in this place
Holy Spirit, come, do as You wish
We are changed as You move in our midst

You Are My King (Amazing Love) by Billy Foote

I'm accepted, You were condemned
And I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again

That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it's true

In all I do, to honor You

In all I do, I honor You

You are my King
You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King

That You, my King, should die for me?

And it's my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You

You Laid Aside Your Majesty by Noel Richards

You laid aside Your majesty
Gave up everything for me, 
Suffered at the hands of those You had created. 
You took all my guilt and shame, 
When You died and rose again; 
Now today You reign, 
In heaven and earth exalted.

I really want to worship You, my Lord, 
You have won my heart 
And I am Yours for ever and ever; 
I will love You. 
You are the only one who died for me, 
Gave Your life to set me free, 
So I lift my voice to You in adoration.

You Rescued Me by Geoff Bullock

You rescued me and picked me up
A living hope of grace revealed
A life transformed in righteousness
O Lord You have rescued me

Forgiving me, You healed my heart
And set me free from sin and death
You brought me life You've made me whole
O Lord You have rescued me

And You loved me before I knew You
And You knew me for all time
I've been created in Your image O Lord

And You bought me, and You sought me
Your blood poured out for me
A new creation in Your image O Lord
You rescued me, You rescued me
