50 Best Worship Songs About Being More Like Jesus
Worship Music That Leans Into the Life of Christ
There’s a kind of ache that shows up when you realize wanting to follow Jesus isn’t the same as knowing how. It hits somewhere in the middle of good intentions and bad habits, during that weird space between Sunday mornings and weekday decisions. You start praying without knowing what to say, trying to be patient when it’s easier to snap, clinging to grace even when you’re not sure you believe you deserve it. That’s where these songs hit. Not on the polished side of the story, but in the middle of the mess where being like Him feels a little out of reach and weirdly close at the same time.
They don’t try to dress it up. These tracks sit inside the weight of becoming, that clumsy in-between where your heart wants to shift but your reflexes are still catching up. Maybe it's Brandon Lake dragging his voice over cracked prayers or Brooke Ligertwood pushing into surrender without smoothing the edges. Some feel like journal entries you never meant to sing out loud. Others are so stripped down they feel like they were written in the dark. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to embody a love that flips tables and heals in the same breath, this is the space they hold open.
It’s not clean. But neither is change. These songs wrestle more than they resolve, with lines that stick in your head long after the chord fades. The mix holds pop, rock, country, and R&B songs that all circle around that tensiontrying to sound like Christ without pretending it’s easy. Here are the best worship songs for people trying to live like Jesus.
