I have held the theory for years that the best part of worship songs are the bridges. It’s like the writer knew that it would take the whole first part of the song for people to engage. Bridges are either louder and faster or slower and quieter than the rest of the song. These are my favorite bridges in worships songs:
“My heart will sing, No other Name. Jesus, Jesus”. -Forever Reign, Hillsong
“Fill us up, send us out. Fill us up send us out Lord”. -God of Justice, Tim Hughes
“Oh, what a glorious day, what a glorious way. You have saved me”. -Happy Day, Tim Hughes
“Father in heaven, long may your Name be glorified. Above all others, above all this world. Above everything else that’s in our lives. For nothing else in all of this world matters, but to live our lives for you and you alone”. -May Your Wonders Never Cease, Third Day
“We cry out, for your life to refine us, cry out. For you love to define us, cry out. For your mercy to keep us safely until you return”. Reign in Us, Starfield
“I pour out myself, before you were Lord
I hold nothing back, ’cause to you less is more
And may these words on my heart on my lips,
Somehow mean so much more than this
Jesus, I pray
Just know what I’m trying to say”. Less is More, Reliant K
“All my delight is in You Lord. All of my heart, all of my strength.
All my delight is in You Lord. Forevermore”. -None But Jesus, Hillsong
“My heart and flesh cry out, for You the Living God. Your Spirit’s water
for my soul. I’ve tasted and I’ve seen. Come once again to me. I will draw
near to You. I will draw near to You”. -Better is One Day, Chris Tomlin
“All of my life, in every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing.
I have a reason to worship”. -Desert Song, Hillsong
“Take my life and let it be all for You, and for Your glory.
Take my life and let it be Yours”. -Glory to God Forever, Fee
Are there any bridges that I did not list that are your favorite?
