Theme: Jesus

Every song, in some sense, is about Him. But songs explicitly and centrally focused on Jesus do the important work of making sure the Person at the center of the gospel is the Person at the center of the room. As worship culture has sometimes drifted toward experience, atmosphere, or good theology abstracted from its subject, I've become more intentional about returning regularly to songs that simply keep Jesus in clear, unambiguous focus. Songs about Jesus — His character, His works, His names, His beauty, His cross, His resurrection — are the gravitational center around which everything else in a worship set should orbit. When Jesus is clearly in the center, everything else finds its proper place.
