The Best Gospel Love Songs of the Past Decade
As the first decade of the 21st century is winding down to a close and the New Year approaches, I thought it would be appropriate to look back at the best Christian love songs recorded during the past ten years. While I have previously compiled a list of Top 10 gospel love songs, the criteria for the songs on this decade list were songs recorded during the past ten years with clearly romantic meaning by gospel artists. Featured artists include: songs from Amy Grant, Chris Rice, Avalon, Selah, FFH, Across the Sky, Steve Green and more.
These romantic love songs recorded by Christian artists should make great additions to romantic occasions like weddings, anniversaries, Valentine's Day and other special occasions. The numbering of these gospel love songs is quite arbitrary and for the sole purpose of creating a top-ten list.
Top 10 Christian Love Songs of the Decade
1. Bless the Broken Road - Selah
The single "Bless the Broken Road" was recorded with Melodie Crittenden on Selah's Bless the Broken Road: The Duets Album
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you.
2. When Did You Fall - Chris Rice
"When Did You Fall is a catchy love song from the Chris Rice CD, Amusing
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?
3. Beautiful - Amy Grant
From her Simple Things
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
'Cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful.
4. Waltz For Jennifer - FFH
The song "Waltz For Jennifer" is from the FFH CD Ready to Fly
We belong together, you and me
Holding on tight like lock and key
Going strong the way this love should be - a fantasy
And I'm so glad that God made me for you and you for me
5. By Heart, By Soul - Avalon
"By Heart, By Soul" recorded by Avalon with Aaron Neville on their Oxygen
If you were a place, I'd stay my whole life,
So I'd had every corner memorized
And if you were a star, I'd follow you home,
You would be the light that is my only guide.
6. Roll To The Middle - Sara Groves
"Roll To The Middle" by Sara Groves is on the album The Other Side of Something
All the complicated wars
They end pretty simple
Here when the lights go down
We roll to the middle.
7. First Love Song - Across the Sky
"First Love Song" by Across the Sky shows up on the Across the Sky
This is my very first love song
I'm gonna sing it for you
I know that this is gonna last
No matter how the change may come I'll have you...
8. Flesh of My Flesh - Leon Patillo
"Flesh of My Flesh" - Leon Patillo from 10 Great Christian Love Songs
You are flesh of my flesh,
Bone of my bone,
There's no one closer,
You are flesh of my flesh,
Bone of my bone,
We are one.
9. Holding Hands - Steve Green
The sweet Christian love song "Holding Hands" performed by Steve Green is from the gospel album Woven in Time
And then it seemed just like a dream
When wide eyed, side by side
We faced the future holding hands.
10. Unfailing Love (Kelly's Song) - Jimmy Needham
"Unfailing Love (Kelly's Song)" is from Jimmy Needham's CD Not Without Love
He tells a story of a King coming in glory and He is
And that same Man who devised that plan united ours with His
And so hand in hand we will walk with Him as our two become as one
And all the promises He promises to us He promises will never be undone.
