They say that “Music soothes the savage beast.” But I’ve also noted that sometimes, it convinces, persuades, motivates, and inspires. We recently asked 30 missions pastors for their pick of the best missions songs in contemporary Christian music. I was impressed by this play list from Kurt.

Do you have other tunes to add to this list of great missions songs? Just click to the online version of this item (see the link below), then click “Comment” to add your missing favorites. Thanks!
I’d go for ‘Hear the call of the Kingdom’ by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. Brilliant words, great catchy tune.
“We Speak to Nations” by Israel Houghton
My favourite mission song is
Our heart our desire
by Travis Cottrell
Six others I can’t believe I did not see here, and would immediately recommend you listen to:
“Gone” by Third Day (I thought they were singing the story of my life on this one!)
and
“Run to the Battle”, “Can you feel their pain?” and “Don’t Tell them Jesus loves them (til you’re willing to love them too)” by Steve Camp
and “The Mission” and “Go (I Wanna Send You)” by Newsboys
These songs are all certainly good food for your soul if you still believe in the Great Commission.
Let Your Kingdom Come – by Bob Kauflin
Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble? – one of my favorite songs for the nations…
Here Am I – Mercy Me
Israel Houghton | The Power of One

Send Me by Lecrae
Finally got a chance to check these out… WONDERFUL Backpage! I just bought about 80% of them on iTunes. Putting the time length was sure helpful.
Also: The Light Will Come, Phil Wickham
Give me Your Eyes, Brandon Heath
Just found “Give Us Your Courage” by Tim Hughes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68BQmcIINE0
Last Year I used “Beautiful Feet” by Lecrae and Michael W. Smith “Prepare Ye The Way – A New Hallelujah” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCflJJbliew – we did a similar style with light and drums that went over well with a lot of energy. We followed this big intro with MWS next song “When I Think of You I Feel Like Dancing” that he did with the African Children’s Choir. We used our children to participate in this as the lyrics and dance steps are easy to reproduce.
Kari Jobe – We Are
Britt Nicole – Set the World on Fire and Lost Get Found
Audio Adrenaline – Hands and Feet
