Graduation Christian Songs
If you’re looking for songs that are more tranquil, subtle, and slower paced, the list below is going to be right up your alley. When I graduated a few years ago, transitioning from college into the “real world” felt extremely overwhelming. Listening to songs with biblical affirmations really helped to calm my nerves, ease my anxiety, and shift my mindset towards a more peaceful state.
Many of the songs in this playlist reminded me to focus on God, trust Him in every season, and build my life on Jesus as my firm foundation. ESPECIALLY during uncertain times.
Personally, I love listening to music in the morning while getting ready and at night when winding down after a long day. And for me, music is more than just lyrics, it carries life giving words that uplift and encourage. Which is why celebrating graduation with Christian songs is just soooo amazing!
