Summon all the summer vibes with this fun christian song. Its African tempo inspires the body to move and dance even while stuck in an office on a warm sunny day.

4. F.A.V.O.R

The O.G. of upbeat worship songs is thee Kirk Franklin. He doesn’t disappoint with this encouraging worship song about victory. 

5. My Peace 

I promise you, this smooth melody is a whole vibe. PJ Morton and JoJo remind us of the importance of maintaining our peace. Just as PJ sings in a simple yet powerful verse, “I can’t sacrifice my feelings no more, Gotta be careful who I let through that door.”

6. Just Like God

If you need something to relate to the never ending struggles of adulting, give Evvie McKinney a listen. This song about Jesus will lighten the weight of your worries and adjust your focus back onto Jesus.

7. Wake up

This lighthearted melody about healing is perfect for early mornings or peaceful evening vibes.

8. Not Ready

“My bills are paid but I’m still stressed. [Lord,]I need you.”

This uptempo worship song speaks to and revives any weary soul from the realities of life. 

9. All Things

Super grateful to Kirk Franklin for releasing this simple upbeat worship song about faith. It serves as a gentle reminder that, in all things, God will not let you down. 

10. Lead Us

If you haven’t heard of DOE, allow me to add her to your radar. Her new worship song is an anthem of humility and a plea out to God to direct our footsteps once again.
