During my prayer time in the early morning on September 26, I believe God put it on my heart to share my favorite worship music with the Z3 family. I had questions about how to do it, but the answers came to me quickly. However, I then got started with my day and didn’t do anything with it. The next day during my prayer time, the same impression came to me very loud and clear, so I moved it up to the top of my list of things to do.
It took me three full days to pull this together, but I believe it was time well spent because I believe it will help people get filled up with the Holy Spirit, which we all need so much. There’s something about worship music that helps us cross over from this realm and enter God’s presence.
Listed below are my top 50 favorite worship songs, which have been a huge help to me, not only entering His presence, but I often hear Him speaking to me through the lyrics in ways that only He can do. These songs were all recorded at the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City. I’ve been listening to their music since 2010, so I’ve collected lots of songs over the years. Their musicians play live praise and worship music 24/7 and broadcast it free on their website. They also offer archives of all previous music sessions, two hours each, so you can select the musicians you want and listen on demand anytime. Another great thing about IHOP is their copyright is the right to copy, so it’s okay to share these. If you are blessed by their ministry, please consider supporting them financially.
How to Download or Play Songs:
You can listen on the Z3 News Soundcloud page which allows you to create your own playlists, or get Apple’s iTunes, open it and select Podcasts, then search for Z3 News, then click the link at the top right to See All, then click on any photo of the musicians.
The individual songs are also listed below in alphabetical order so you can play them right here if you want. This page might take a couple of minutes to finish loading due to the quantity of songs.
I recently discovered Sons of Korah. They just sing the psalms and it is wonderful. Here’s one: “Sing a New Song” – Psalm 96.

thanks for sharing James.
This is just super James, thank you so much.
Not a coincidence you were led to post… After 7 long years ” in exile”, I am starting a church service locally and am currently putting a worship team together. I asked everyone to make a list of songs we can do, because I want to move away from contemporary and especially what is on the radio, and get into some real worship. Thanks!!
