Uplifting Music

[Johnny† 0]

Essentially, any music that helps you trudge through your arduous lives; the thing which restores your faith in humanity, gives you the moxie to go forth and do something productive. Because I am a querulous, depressing little individual and need something to affirm my existence every once in a while.

 

Ooh, I get to go first!

Jhn 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.

I don't know if this is uplifting but I find it uplifting.

This is one of my favorite worship songs to date, although it's not very well known.

Here's an upbeat, Lord-praising little ditty that I always derive joy from listening to:

 

 

The nonsensical music video somehow enhances the experience.

I love the the "take it to the lord in prayer" part of "What a Friend we have in Jesus"

kind of how I would play it on the piano:
