My college roommate is going through chemo for a rare form of bone cancer. She has 3 young children - the middle is my Godson. She lives on the other side of the country from me.

I would like to make a CD for her with uplifting Christian songs and need some more suggestions. Of course, I'm suffering from severe brain freeze

The 2 that I've come up with so far are:
"This is What it Means to be Held" by Natalie Grant
"Somebody's Praying You Through" by Alan Ashbury.

THESE ARE FROM WOW WORSHIP AND SONGS 4 WORSHIP.

I would add "The Joy of the Lord is My Strength" - Twila Paris

Wow! Thanks to you both!

The song that always picks me up is "When I Call on Jesus" by Nicole C. Mullen. Also, "Holy" by Nichole Nordeman is good.

I would add
"Give me Jesus" by Fernando Ortega

"When God Ran" by Phillips Craig and Dean ***MUST HAVE***
"I Love How You Love Me" Erin O'Donnell
"Wide Wide World" Erin O'Donnell
"Brave" Nichole Nordeman
"Love Like Crazy" Chris Rice
"Spare an Angel Chris Rice ***MUST HAVE***
"Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)" Chris Rice
"Cartoons" Chris Rice (GREAT SONG TO JUST LIGHTEN THE MOOD AT THE END)
"Jesus Will Still be There" Point of Grace ***MUST HAVE***
"Steady On" Point of Grace
"I Have No Doubt" Point of Grace ***Must Have***
"God is with Us" Point of Grace
"This Fragile Breath" Todd Agnew
"Grace Like Rain" Todd Agnew



If she enjoys a bit of a harder sound, I would really really really recommend "Reached Down" by Todd Agnew as it talks about the Lord reaching out and saving you.

"If his people would pray" Casting Crowns

Not sure if it fits this situation, but my favorite Christian song is "Lord Move" by FFH. Awesome song.

Don't forget "You Raise Me Up" the Josh Groban version and another one by him that is a duet with Charlotte Church, "The Prayer".

Fernado Ortega, Give Me Jesus
and
Wes King, Life is Precious and The Robe

By the way, for any of you who know and appreciate Wes King's music, he is also battling cancer. Here's his web site for more information. Let's pray for him, his wife and young boys (as well as for Princess Leia's friend). King's web site has information about a tribute album in the works with various artists covering his music -- to help raise money for his medical bills.

LIFE IS PRECIOUS
Life is precious, life is sweet
Like the earth beneath my feet
Though I know I'm passing through
I know I belong to You
Life is precious, life is sweet
And this truth makes it complete
Knowing Jesus died for me
Life is precious
Life is precious, life is sweet

I can't see past myself
When I get depressed
I take for granted
This life You've given me
There are a million ways
I've been so richly blessed
I can't imagine
Not being able to see...

Life is precious, life is sweet
And this truth makes it complete
Knowing Jesus died for me
Life is precious
Life is precious, life is sweet


THE ROBE
Anyone whose feet are tired of walking
And even lost their will to run
There is a place of rest for your aching soul
come as you are

For the robe is of God
That will clothe your nakedness
And the robe is His grace
It's all you need
Come as you are

Rich Mullins - "Hold me Jesus"

"I Am A Friend of God" by Phillips, Craig and Dean
