This beautiful young woman, Amanda Vernon, came to my school this Sunday evening to give a talk/concert. One of her songs is called "With This Ring." She told us her father gave her a purity ring around the time of her Confirmation and about the impact that had on her life. Obviously the song is supposed to be about waiting for marriage, but I immediately thought of the vow of chastity.

Yes, that is actual footage from their wedding. If you liked the song, you can go buy her music at http://www.amandavernon.com/ She has such a beautiful soul, so it'd be great if you are able to help her continue her ministry by supporting her music.

Hey, if I can take a song about two people having relationship problems and spin it in a religious life way, certainly you can take a song about waiting for marriage and using it for the vow of chastity. :P

Thank you so much for posting this. Her music is gorgeous. I'm trying to download (legally, paid for, honest) her music at the moment.

This might be a little strange but my song with Jesus is At the Beginning from the Anastasia cartoon. It really speaks to my discernment struggles and God's love that will get me through this crazy journey that is discernment. 

 

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there whenthe storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

 

Another one is called Bride of Jesus by April Verch. My parents went to see her in concert one time and she played this song there. They were both shocked because she doesn't bill herself as a Christian artist but clearly she is because she writes songs like this. :love: 

 

I wore my hair in pretty ringlets 

My father swore they were spun gold 

and so I cried though I tried not to 

on the day my locks were shorn 

 

There was a boy in my childhood 

I hoped some day to be his wife 

but I have traded earthly pleasures 

for this gown of black and white 

 

Chorus: 

I will know no mortal lover, 

I will take no wedding vow, 

but I rejoice that He has called me 

I am the bride of Jesus now. 

 

I feed my soul 

I tend my garden 

I spend my days in silent praise 

though I am poor with few possessions 

still I am rich beyond compare 

 

For in His loving arms He holds me 

and all my heart I give to Him 

He is my strength He is my passion 

He is my Savior and my friend

 

Chorus: 

I will know no mortal lover 

I will take no wedding vow 

but I rejoice that He has called me 

I am the bride of Jesus now. 

 

I also really love Josh Groban's You Are Loved which was already posted here before.

@FuturePriest387 Nothing weird about "Running to Stand Still". Beautiful song. One of my favorites of all time.

U2 was my favorite band ever and I sort of put it to rest years ago and listen to it only sporadically, but right now the only music I can listen to is The Unforgettable Fire (meaning the album but including the song). Highlighting:

A Kind of Homecoming
The Unforgettable Fire
Indian Summer Sky

and most especially:

Promenade

 

"I see you stare into space, have I got closer now behind the face
Oh, tell me, tell me that you would dance with me, turn me around tonight,
up through the spiral staircase to the higher ground"

I have an entire list of Vocational songs on my Facebook which I am not allowed to go on until Sunday *cough Lent* But I am posting two

You are for me by Kari Jobe. It's so pretty with such true and simple lyrics

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omsw6NOA8rc

 

And this which I fell in love with instantly. Wedding Day by Casting Crowns. I can't wait until the day I am married to Our Lord. I will listen to this when that special day finally comes.
