I love worship songs that are fast and considered energy, but I also love slower worship songs. You have time to think about each word you are singing and let the message sink in. Many worship services at church incorporate slow Christian worship songs because worship is not about rushing through the service or singing as many songs as possible. Try focus on letting the words pour over you with each beat next Sunday or the moments you take to worship God.
Here are 10 great slow Christian worship songs.
10. “Give Me Jesus” by Jeremy Camp
Do you ask for Jesus when you first wake up in the morning? Think about this as you worship God today.
Favorite Lyrics
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.
9. “At the Cross (Love Ran Red)” by Christ Tomlin
Have you surrendered yourself to God? Jesus is waiting for you at the cross.
Favorite Lyrics
At the cross
At the cross
I surrender my life.
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white.
I owe all to You
I owe all to You Jesus.
There's a place where sin and shame are powerless.
Where my heart has peace with God and forgiveness.
Where all the love I've ever found.
Comes like a flood,
Comes flowing down.
8. “Waiting Here for You” by Christy Nockels
“Waiting Here for You” is a great song about praising God and giving Him the glory.

With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's you we adore
Singing Alleluia
7. “God I Look to You” by Bethel Music

The piano comes through so strongly in “Forever” and it sends the message of how Jesus lives even deeper to your soul.
