The Most Comforting Hymns and Songs for Dealing With Grief

In a time of need many people look to music to soothe their souls. Grief can cause someone to want to seek comfort in familiar words and melodies. What could be more reassuring than music that reminds us of our savior, the Lord? Here are the best songs and hymns for dealing with grief. 


Alabama - Angels Among Us

Sometimes all it takes is the right words to re-spark, or jumpstart your spirit if you’ve ever felt alone or separated from people and God. "Angels Among Us" is the perfect song that highlights miraculous moments and people who are true angels. We can be blinded to God’s blessings, but God uses people to set us on the right track.


Kirk Franklin - Wynter’s Promise

Winter is the symbol for death and just like trees shedding their leaves and “dying” some animals “die” when they hibernate and the Earth is reborn in the springtime. Grief feels like the winter season. The heart feels cold and disconnected from God and those you hold close. This song reminds us that Heaven is real.


Elevation Worship - Give Me Faith

"Give Me Faith" is a song that reminds us that Jesus calms the storm (Matthew 8:23-27). Keeping the faith is a constant battle, but Jesus wants us to keep the faith. Grief isn’t a pleasant feeling, but we are called to believe no matter what. We must keep trusting God although it may seem difficult.
