There are some lovely ones.

The brilliant Eric Bibb,he does a lot of modern gospel songs ,this is a more upbeat one which his audiences love

Judy54 Mon 12-Sep-22 13:55:16

I agree paddyann54 Eric Bibb is brilliant we have been lucky enough to see him in concert a few times. Yes Juno56 In Christ alone is a wonderful hymn which I very much enjoy listening to. One of the best versions is by Celtic Worship.

Be The moon. Lovely.

Something to aim for.

I've never heard of Eric Bibb. Needed Time brought tears to my eyes.

Like A Candle Flame, .very peaceful, lovely.
Shine Jesus Shine is a favourite.

I'm looking at the broader spiritual here

Have you watched/listened to the Colour Music Children’s Choir?
You Raise me Up

I like this Shaker song, modern version
Tis a gift to be simple

I find this one of the most spiritual songs I’ve heard. It’s Jon Henrik - Daniel's jojk, a song mourning and celebrating the life of a dear friend from the Sami culture.

Just heard this one on Aled Jones’ programme on Classic Fm: O be joyful, by Richard Harvey. Sung by Latvian choristers. Beautiful.

Nice versions Wyllow.
The third one is very unusual.

Cabbie I listened to another rendition as I couldn't find the Latvian one. Beautiful indeed

Anything by The Porter’s Gate (collective project), but especially this one: Nothing to Fear

SachaMac Sun 09-Oct-22 18:36:33

I like ‘Blinded by your Grace’ by Stormzy

Lovely. Very reassuring.

nadateturbe Tue 11-Oct-22 21:41:40

I listened to Stormsy ( now I know who he is!).
Great song. I listened to Katherine Jenkins singing it too. Nice.

Phillipa111 I found Mercedes Bahleda on YouTube. I listened to two tracks. White Tara and this one.

And thank you to everyone who has posted and introduced me to new spiritual songs.
