30 Christian Songs to Comfort in Grief (2023)

Creating a playlist of Christian songs to comfort in grief is a great way to soothe a hurting heart. In my early grief, I listened to certain songs on repeat. Some songs were able to capture my exact emotions or put words to my utterly broken heart.

Worship songs uplift and remind us of our hope, not just eternally but for this side of heaven. They remind us of God’s goodness even in difficulty and loss and help us fix our eyes on our heavenly home. God’s presence is often palpable in worship, where we see God is with us in our pain and suffering. Worship softens our heart, helps us cry out to God and cry tears that bring comfort and sweet relief.

You can find the full, updated list of Christian songs to comfort in grief on Spotify. It’s is a beautiful mix of worship, contemporary and hymns that will meet your heart. I listen to it on repeat.
