85 Best Christian Songs For Weddings
When it comes to a church wedding, it seems obvious to choose Christian songs. But what about the wedding reception? Of course, you can choose Christian songs for your wedding party; they’re not just for the ceremony.
What is a Christian Song?
A Christian song has lyrics that align with the central teachings of the Bible. According to the Webster Dictionary, a Christian is a person who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
It follows that Christian music projects the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Christian Songs and My Wedding Ceremony
Christian wedding songs are very appropriate during a wedding ceremony. Christian songs are very commonplace during the unity candle ceremony, processional and other activities encompassed in the wedding ceremony.
The wedding ceremony is when a couple professes their faith to one another before the Lord. Special Christian wedding songs can help signify the meaning of certain activities during a wedding ceremony in song. In addition, Christian songs can help portray the love for each other, the remembrance of a loved one, or a couple’s profession of faith.
Also popular during a wedding ceremony is to play Christian hymns. Christian hymns include Amazing Grace, All Things Bright & Beautiful, and Love Divine, All Things Excelling.
Is Christian Music a Genre?
Music is music. What makes a song Christian is the lyrics, not the style or genre of the music. Our best Christian wedding songs come from several genres including rock, jazz, and country.
What if the Artist is Secular?
Songs can be considered Christian without being sung from a categorized Christian artist. For example, a country artist like Carrie Underwood can sing a song that is both country and Christian. Her song, “Jesus Take The Wheel” is a good example.
Many categorized Christian artists have been accepted in mainstream radio.

Hot New Songs Delivered Monthly!
You forgot “The Marriage Prayer” by John Waller from the album As For Me and My House.
Thank you SO much Drew for the suggestion. It has been added to our list!
I am looking for a perfect song after receiving the blessing on our marriage from the pastor. Any suggestions?
Hi Miranda. The song you are requesting is such a personal and spiritual moment. However, Lauren Daigle’s You Say may fit the moment.
I have 2 sons getting married this summer and I’m looking for mother son Christian songs ? Any suggestions?
Hi Peggy. Thanks for your question. First, I would have you check out our list of Mother-Son songs here: https://www.myweddingsongs.com/wedding-song-lists/mother-son-songs/. Second, try not to confine yourself to “Christian” only artists. Just because a song is performed by a non-classified Christian artist, doesn’t mean the song is not a Christian song. “I Melt” by Rascal Flatts has been one of the most popular Mother-Son songs the past decade.
Here is some R&B, Soul, rap Christian love songs that can be played at weddings: Put it on Paper by AL Green, I Love my wife by Rufus Troutman, Virtuous women by Canton Jones, I Found Love by MR. Del, We Cant Lose by LP, Baby Girl, By Thi’sl
Thank you Henry for the list of songs. We will add them to the list!
Aren’t there any Christian love songs from more recent years? And some of these songs deal more with showing God’s love to the world rather than the love between husband and wife…
Hi Abbie. Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we need to add more current Christian songs and will be doing so in the coming weeks. You can also consider other genres. Just because a song is a Country or Rock song does not mean it cannot be a “Christian Song”.
Check out Dave Pettigrew’s Love is here. I think it is a perfect love song.
Thank you Suzanne for the suggestion! We love the song and will add it to the list.
I enjoy this list, but I have to say leaving off the original “God Gave Me You” by David Barnes and “Give me a Lifetime” by Anthem Lights is a bit of an oversight.
Thank you Blaze. We will add them to our list! Have a blessed day.
I love How beautiful by Twila Paris and Be my guide by Brian Thiessen. They perfect songs for a wedding march into the church for the bride and groom respectively.
Thanks for sharing Edward. We love the songs as well. Check back soon as we will be updating this list in the coming weeks.
Love will be our home is my fav song for my wedding while walking down the isle though i have’th heard yet all her songs.pls help me find more christian wedding songs.thanks
Thank you for your advice. We will be adding new Christian wedding song shortly.
Two Becoming One by Jonathan and Emily Martin is a good wedding song too.
Thank you Brittany.
The songs on Amazon are “God Gave me to you” byBlake Sheldon. That’s the wrong song. I need God Gave You To Me.
Hi Virginia. That is only the first song. Please see the rest of the list of songs on the page by The Stanley Brothers, Augie Meyers and Hoskins Family.
My husband and I sang ” God Gave you to me” at our wedding 50 years ago. We would now like to sing it at our 50th anniversary party and are trying to find the song and music. HELP!
Hi Virginia, I would recommend this link to the God Gave You To Me songs on Amazon.
Might it have been the Irving Berlin song? I haven’t been able to find it online either.
Here is the song you are looking for. It is beautiful! You can buy the sheet music for $3.25. Congratulations on your 50th anniversary.…and you can download and print it!
