43 Best Christian Songs About Love

When I Say I Do by Matthew West

Song year: 2019

Matthew West’s When I Say I Do is an excellent male-sung Christian wedding song. In this one, the husband-to-be is vowing his love to his bride.

The singer believes God brought her to him, and he is pledging everything to her, himself, his love, his support, and his strength. This song is about more than words, though; it is about making sure you back up words, oaths, and vows with your actions – that is the proof of love.

Love Is Here by Dave Pettigrew

Song year: 2019

Love is Here by Dave Pettigrew is from his album Faith and Gasoline. It is another love song to love and all love’s powers to heal and connect.

When life is painful, and it seems like nothing is good, you can still find love underneath it all, and that love is brightening and sustaining.

I Believe in Love by BarlowGirl

Song year: 2007

BarlowGirl’s I Believe in Love is from their album, How Can We Be Silent. This one is a bit darker than most others on this list, and it isn’t a love song in a traditional sense.

The song’s speaker is losing her faith. She is in a dark place, and none of her prayers are being answered. Whether she thinks God is not hearing her, ignoring her, or has other plans for her, she doesn’t know, but she is struggling to hang on in her life and her faith.

However, she believes in things even when she can’t see or feel them, like love, and if she can believe in a love she can’t feel, she can keep faith in a God who hasn’t answered her prayers.

Love Is Not a Fight by Warren Barfield

Song year: 2008

Warren Barfield’s Love is Not a Fight can be seen as a metaphor for losing faith in or love for God or making a marriage work over the long term.

Either way, love is challenging and requires work. It’s not all excitement, butterflies, and receiving. It also takes commitment and compromise. You need to ask not just What do I want? What do I need? but What does she want? What does God need from me?

This song is about real love being hard but worth it.

Only Hope by Switchfoot

Song year: 1999

From A New Way to Be Human comes Switchfoot’s Only Hope. This song catches the singer in a moment of darkness. He has been trying so hard in his life, but something is not right; he’s stuck, and can’t get anywhere on his own, so he prays and gives himself up to God.

This song is about releasing your hold on your plans and putting everything in God’s hands. The singer here knows God knows better than him, so he’s letting go of everything else and working on his love for and relationship with God.

Together by Steven Curtis Chapman

Song year: 2013

Steven Curtis Chapman’s Together describes a marriage that has had its ups and downs and is a great song to play for a wedding anniversary.

This is a marriage that has most likely lasted decades. The two have been through so much together, and their love for each other and their love for God has kept them together.

First Love Song by Across the Sky

Song year: 2003

Across the Sky’s First Love Song is about the power love has to give you what you didn’t even know you needed. Love leads you to the right places, but they are places you wouldn’t have chosen for yourself on your own.

This is the first love song the singer has ever written, the first he has ever felt compelled to write. Because of that, you know what he feels is real.
