Gentleness is a gift of the Spirit, but as a trait, it is produced when a softened heart abides in Jesus. It may be a gift, but true gentleness also demands something on our parts: intention. By this, I mean being intentionally kind, compassionate, and humble towards others, especially when they are facing struggle or difficulty. In fact, it's probably the most important of the spiritual gifts laid out in Galatians 5:22-23. Here are some curated chord charts, vocal arrangements, and orchestrations to help us reflect on the gentleness of Christ.

“And David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the Lord, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals.” —2 Samuel 6:5 We put together this list of joyful praise and worship songs that you can use to engage enthusiasm in your worship set.

Sometimes it takes a moment to stop, quiet our hearts and minds and listen to what God has to say. Many of these songs & hymns are built on the foundation of hearing more than saying or doing. May these worship songs and hymns be an encouragement to use within the different contexts of how the Church gathers and listens together.
