CeCe Winans will always be “that girl” when it comes to creating gospel music that inspires. From the 90’s until today, CeCe Winans has created music that transcends time.
She is a 15 times grammy winner and her recent album “Believe for It” won best gospel album at the 64th Annual Grammy awards.
With her new songs “That’s my King” and “Holy Forever” doing well with over 20 million views on Youtube, it’s easy to forget her old hits and their impact on gospel music. So, let’s take time today to not forget!
Here is a list of 10 throwback songs from CeCe Winans that are able to remind you of God’s faithfulness:
1. Mercy Said No
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
This song came out in 2003 and is known to create atmospheres of gratitude and worship.
Whenever you need to be reminded of what Jesus did for you on the cross, be sure to put this song on.
2. Alabaster Box
So I’ve come to pour my praise on Him
Like oil from Mary’s alabaster box (Mary’s alabaster box)
So don’t be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair
You weren’t there the night Jesus found me
This throwback song was released by WellSpring Gospel on October 19, 1999.
With biblically inspired lyrics, CeCe’s song talks about sacrificing for Christ because He first sacrificed for us.
Thank you Lord!
3. Jesus, You are Beautiful
Wonderful (wonderful), heavenly (heavenly), beautiful (beautiful)
Jesus, You’re beautiful to me
If you’re a looking for a song that focuses less on you and more on God turn this song up!
4. Fill My Cup
Fill my cup, Lord, I lift it up, Lord
Come and quench this thirsting in my soul
Bread from Heaven, feed me ’til I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole
This song may be under a minute but is an example of humility before the Lord. Her lyrics remind us to depend on our Father who is able to fill every thirst, hunger, and void.
5. It Wasn’t Easy
I left my throne, my purpose was the cross
Shed innocent blood, I paid all cost
This throwback song points back to Jesus, the gospel and the sacrifice He made for all sinners. Amen.
Winans continues to use her gift to remind the world of something far greater than herself and that’s Jesus.
