The Perfect Playlist — Gabriel Molina

I decided to make a perfect playlist of worship music. I know probably very few of you listen to worship music on a regular basis, but it constitutes probably 90% of what comes through my headphones. So here ya go:

1. We Will Not Be Shaken — Bethel Music
2. Mighty Warrior — Elevation Worship
3. Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) — Hillsong Live
4. Nothing But The Blood — Jesus Culture
5. Relentless (Acoustic) — Hillsong United

I chose We Will Not Be Shaken as my first song because it starts somewhat slow (yet not boring), and eases into higher energy stuff. It just makes a great start to a playlist. Coincidentally, it also is the first song in the album it comes from.

Mighty Warrior is a much higher energy song that follows the first song very well. There are more electric instruments and higher tempo drum stuff that just makes you get up on your feet. Also the lyrics of course are fantastic. They just proclaim truth about God. All these songs really do that. Makes it cohesive.

Broken Vessels I chose next because it transitions to more ominous and a little bit slower more reflective music. More background ambient noise and beautifully delicate lead guitar lines fill a lot of the song. It makes you stop to listen close to all the intricate details of the music. And then the lyrics are beautiful. It’s also a very modernized spin-off of a well-known worship song everybody knows, Amazing Grace.

Nothing But The Blood is a classic worship song most people know as well. The version Jesus Culture does is recorded live. I felt that the playlist needed a “live” feeling song in it somewhere, so this song fills the need.

Finally is Relentless acoustic. This song helps the playlist end on a pretty high energy note. I chose the acoustic version because there’s just something about the natural sound that comes from unplugged instruments. Though it is high energy, it feels pure and light and fun to listen to. Also if you’re an acoustic guitarist like me, you just love acoustic versions of songs.

So that’s my playlist. Maybe give it a listen. I’ve chosen only the best.
