17 Top Christian Walk-Up Songs

11. “Church Clap” by KB feat. Lecrae

Song Year: 2012

Calling “Church Clap” a Christian hip-hop song might, after a listen, seem like an understatement. It’s got “church” in the title and it’s got every element any great hip-hop song has. And the chorus, by virtue of its simplicity and repetition, is an invitation to a stadium-wide singalong if there ever was one.

It’s a high-energy song that can motivate players, and the beat alone is fire. KB’s delivery is dripping with confidence, something every batter can use a little more of.

Bringing “Church Clap” to the plate can rev up the crowd and pump up the batter— and the feeling might rub off on the next batter or two, as well.

12. “We Won’t Give Up” by The Afters

Song Year: 2013

The Afters crafted a driving, guitar-forward piece of Christian rock that seems to channel the mainstream rock of Muse. “We Won’t Give Up” pulses with drums and guitars that extol the virtues of perseverance.

The title alone is motivational, as giving up is the cardinal sin (no pun intended) of team sports. “We Won’t Give Up” is the type of walk-up song you want when it’s the bottom of the ninth and your team is behind by a run or two. If the bases are loaded, even better. There are few higher-pressure situations in baseball, and batters need all the help they can get.

13. “No Quit” by Derek Minor

Song Year: 2019

Rapper Derek Minor released The Trap in 2019 and included “No Quit” as part of it. It’s an intense piece of hip-hop that, via its minor-key intensity, can amp up just about anyone who hears it.

It’s a song about facing challenges, so it can inspire confidence with its motivational message. A refusal to quit is something every athlete needs, but even the best of us can get discouraged and need a little reminder about the power of seeing things through.

14. “Let The Sparks Fly” by Thousand Foot Krutch

Song Year: 2012

Thousand Foot Krutch has always rocked. Hard. “Let The Sparks Fly” keeps that tradition intact with a face-melting guitar riff throughout and a chorus custom-made for a crowd to shout as one at the top of its lungs.

It’s a Christian song that is positive and uplifting while also being as in-your-face as Christian music gets. It’s an aggressive song that will send a message of determination from the batter to the pitcher as he leaves the on-deck circle. And if a piece of Christain music can intimidate a pitcher, that seems like a pretty cool (if ironic) thing.

15. “Lions” by Skillet

Song Year: 2016

With its message of courage and strength, “Lions” burned up the charts to reach number eight on the Hot Christian Songs chart. It’s got a booming beat from the snare drum that drives the chorus and its singalong feel.

The lyrics compare the listener to a lion, the embodiment of strength and power, making Skillet’s “Lions” an encouraging and uplifting song that any batter could draw some inspiration from as he faces a wicked curveball. Besides, what pitcher wants to face off against an apex predator?

16. “Stronger” by Mandisa

Song Year: 2010

With Mandisa’s powerful voice, just about anything she sings can make for an inspiring and feel-good song for a batter to use for a walk-up.

“Stronger” has a reserved verse, but the chorus seems tailor-made for athletes. The number-one hit has served as an inspiring piece of music for many people, and it even won Mandisa a Grammy.

The message of overcoming challenges and drawing on one’s inner strength is a good one for athletes in any sport. If a batter’s team is the underdog, he can probably use all the help he can get.

17. “Red” by Rhema Soul

Song Year: 2011

This high-energy rap song is about being bold. Critics and fans loved it, and the Eminem vibes that the song gives off make it that much more of an insistent piece of music.

“Red” is a song about seeing what’s wrong in the world and getting angry enough to do something about it all. Determination is a keyword for this one, and an athlete without that drive is one destined to struggle at the plate, at the very least.

Having “Red” blare from the speakers during a walk-up can be an emboldening experience for the batter and the fans.
