“Let the whole earth sing to the LORD! Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.” – 1 Chronicles 16:23
My husband has dozens of playlists on his computer and phone. Jazz favorites. Classical guitar (Nathan Mills, obviously one of his faves). Rock classics. Contemporary Christian. Gospel. Exercise playlist when he’s on his bike (warmup/fast tempo/cooldown).
I, on the other hand, listen to the radio.
What started me thinking about playlists was finding the ERLC Summit 2015 playlist through my Twitter feed yesterday.
ERLC @ERLC · Listen to the songs we’ll sing at the #ERLCsummit with this Spotify playlist: http://erlc.co/1HwaCdQ
Last year, I watched this conference online streaming live and plan to do so again tomorrow. Tune in, if you can, for the two days of the summit on ethics and religious liberties.
It intrigued me that the conference planners published their playlist for the conference, and I am glad they did. The songs are beautiful.
Back in the day, I have had friends share playlists with me on cassette tape (I know…a long time ago) – favorite songs we shared together, often their special gifts as we said goodbye. I still have those cassettes from our Egyptian friends, Heba and Mohamed. Individual songs strung together on a playlist that immediately signal memories of them and our happy times together.
One other very special playlist I discovered recently was assembled by Chris Kennedy to encourage himself as he adjusted to life after sweet Kelsey went to be with the Lord (see below).
We all have favorite songs of many genres – songs from different albums that fit together for our various purposes. I haven’t ever made a playlist myself, but I am thankful for others who have. Below you will find some of those links.
What a delight to just worship, along with these artists, a GOD who sets our hearts to praise Him and our voices to sing those praises.
What inspired you to make a playlist? Have you published any? I would love to hear about some of your favorite playlists.
