1. Only a Holy God by CityAlight -- CityAlight is an Australian worship and praise band that focuses on using a lot of scripture and simple melodies in their songs for churches to use on Sundays. This particular beautiful worship song has brought me much peace in the midst of everything going on in the world right now and it gives me hope that this will one day pass.

2. More than My Hometown by Morgan Wallen - Morgan Wallen is an up and coming country music artist from Sneedville, TN. He has several songs I like but I chose this one because it reminds me of simple times of sitting by the pool or going to the beach and just hanging out with friends without worrying about all the stresses or responsibilities around you.

3. Moving Forward by Colony House - Colony House is an Indie rock quartet out of Franklin, TN. I love this band and this is by far my favorite song by them. It is an encouraging reminder to keep moving forward. That life is more than what is around you and that life is truly found in freedom.

4. Know Me by The Band Camino - The Band Camino is a new favorite of mine out of Memphis, TN. Several of my friends turned me on to them and I love their sound and how they write songs based on relatable situations. Know Me in particular relates to a situation I was recently in. I love listening because it brings me comfort and clarity in knowing others have gone through something similar.

5. Hallelujah For The Cross by Chris McClarney - Chris McClarney is a member of the group Jesus Culture who also did a few solo praise and worship albums. I have been listening to Jesus Culture for a while, but once I discovered this song, it became a quick go to during Quarantine. It brings me joy and just hope that Jesus is greater than all.
