Move Your Heart

DAY 13

"Move Your Heart"
by Maverick City Music (feat. UPPERROOM)

I've been listening to a lot of worship music this year, partly because I've been trying to get into the practice of spending more time in worship as a personal habit, and partly because we haven't had someone to lead worship at our small church plant for a while, so we've been playing a lot of worship songs on Spotify and putting the lyrics on screen to sing along to. So I'm always on the lookout for a new worship song to listen to.

Maverick City Music is a worship artist (it's actually a collective of artists) that's really made an impact in the Christian music space lately because of their lengthy, soulful songs, often done in partnership with other worship artists. In this case, the Atlanta-based Maverick City has joined with another collective of Christian artists out of Dallas, Texas called UPPERROOM (who I think have been featured in one of my prior year's playlists for "The Soundtrack of Your Life" .

This is a song that I find myself listening to a lot when I need something on in the background. The fact that it's a ten-minute long song that feels like a worship service does wonders for getting me into a mindset to more intentionally listen to more worship songs, or just to maintain a posture of worship throughout the day without having to worry about the song repeating itself two dozen times an hour. I've definitely found myself listening to it a lot this past year, and not just when setting up for church on Sunday mornings.
