When we sing about God's grace and we believe the truth deep in our hearts, it affects our lives. We live with more compassion. We extend more mercy. We feel more empathy. This is why worship songs about grace and mercy are so important to the church. Every day and every week, through song and word, we must remind ourselves about the nature of God who is full of grace. What we receive from God, we extend to others. This is the full cycle of worship.
The standard of righteousness is God, and if we are in Christ, our righteousness is Jesus' own, imputed to us. "That I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith". Philippians 3:8b-9. Here is a list of worship songs & hymns about righteousness.
Guilt is a real thing. Lots of times, we know to do right, but do wrong instead. God has said in 1 John 1:9 “ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”. This means that when you say “God I'm sorry I did wrong- please forgive me” that God hears you. But the next step we must also do is believe the second part of that verse. “to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” means to take away the guilt associated with sin.

A sacrificial offering, a suffering servant. God offered up His only son, so that He may not be served but that He would serve others. The lamb, sinless and pure, was laid upon the cross to invite the righteous back to the table of the Lord. This sacrifice is what evokes our victory over death. Here is a list of songs focusing on the Lamb of God.
