This may be the toughest list to write, because there are so many great hymns. As a group, hymns are full of great theology, which makes them all the more wonderful to sing. Each of the songs I’ve listed here I’ve chosen for the words more than the melody (though they are good, too). The themes that always resonate with me are the Lord’s sovereignty, His ultimate triumph, and my position in response. All of these themes are represented in these songs.
