Favorite 10 Brandon Heath Songs Of All Time

Chances are you have heard at least one song by Christian artist Brandon Heath and may have sung Your Love in church – I have and love it! I love how personal his songs are and how transparent he is in each song. He doesn’t just sing to create an audience, he sings for a much higher purpose and the music world has noticed. Heath didn’t grow up in a religious home and first learned about Christ during a Christian Young Life camp when he was 16. In 2000, Brandon created a demo CD that became his first album released in 2004 as Early Stuff. His musical career is still unfolding and I’m excited to see what he does next.

Here are my favorite 10 Brandon Heath songs of all time:

10. “Just A Girl” from the Album Christmas Is Here

Favorite Lyrics

Just a girl
Just a couple gypsies begging at the door
Told them we don't have room for anymore
And closed the door
It was just a girl

He tried to sleep and wasn't able
He snuck out to the dirty stable
The two had found for covering
And later in her suffering
The keeper knelt outside the barn
And in the light of that great star
He prayed what have I done

9. “Loves Does” from the Album Blue Mountain

Favorite Lyrics

Chasing down hope
Moving on dreams
Taking that path
Maybe it’ll lead you home
Maybe it won’t

Nobody knows why your heart is broken
Nobody cries while your prayers are going up
But Love does
Nobody walks on the road you’re paving
Nobody sees all the souls you’re saving
Oh, but Love does
Love does
Love does

8. “Love Never Fails” from the Album What If We

Favorite Lyrics

Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time

Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don't

Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you

7. “Your Love” from the Album Leaving Eden

Favorite Lyrics

But Your love!
Your love.
The only the thing that matters is Your love!
Your love is all I have to give.
Your love is enough to light up the darkness!
It's Your love!
Your love.
All I ever needed is Your love...

6. “Wait And See” from the Album What If We

Favorite Lyrics

There is hope for me yet
Because God won't forget
All the plans he's made for me
I have to wait and see
He's not finished with me yet

I never really was that good in school
I talked too much, broke the rules
Teacher thought I was hopeless fool alright

5. “The Night Before Christmas” from the Album The Essential Christmas Collection

Favorite Lyrics

Empty manger, perfect stranger about to be born
Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn
We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth, no way to escape
In fear, no faith, no hope no grace, and no light,
But that was the night before Christmas
Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet.

4. “No Turning Back” from the single No Turning Back

Favorite Lyrics

I made up my mind
I'll leave it behind

No turning back
No turning back
I'm moving on
Not looking back
I'm giving Him
All that I have
No turning back
No turning back

3. “The Light In Me” from the Album Leaving Eden

Favorite Lyrics

You are the Maker
You tell the sun when to rise
I'm just a house on a hill
But You make me brighter
Than all the stars in the sky
Keep me from growing dim

2. “Give Me Your Eyes” from the Album What If We

Favorite Lyrics

I've been here a million times 
A couple of million eyes 
Just move and pass me by 
I swear I never thought that I was wrong 
I need a second glance 
Give me a second chance 
To see the way you've seen the people all along 

1. “I’m Not Who I Was” from the Album Don’t Get Comfortable

Favorite Lyrics

I wish you could see me now 
I wish I could show you how 
I'm not who I was 
I used to be mad at you 
A little on the hurt side too 
But I'm not who I was 

I found my way around 
To forgiving you 
Some time ago 
But I never got to tell you so
