The Top 10 Best Christian Graduation Songs

Graduation is an important time to celebrate the roads we've already traveled as well as the roads that lie ahead of us.

Graduation songs can widely vary, but consider timeless favorites and more modern renditions by newer Christian artists. Consider combining your song choice with a message too and let God speak in a variety of different ways throughout your ceremony.

I Will Follow Him - by Little Peggy March

This song, popularly performed by Whoopi Goldberg and costars in the movie Sister Act, is one of those fun uplifting songs. It's fun to perform and it's fun to listen to a group singing. Like the choir on Sister Act demonstrates, people need to be shaken out of their seats a little bit. Whether it's a boring sermon or a boring graduation, this song is sure to fit the bill. If you're looking for a far cry from dull and boring, consider this lively energetic number.

Where You Lead Me - by Mercy Me

Wherever God leads, follow. The message is simple yet profound. Since graduation is sometimes an uncertain time about what lies ahead, this particular song is incredibly appropriate. The lyrics of Mercy Me help make the focus less about where you might be going, and instead on making sure that you know who is leading you on the way there.

God With Us - by Mercy Me

The debt is paid, the chains are gone. An eclectic way of looking at graduation, but what can I say other than Mercy Me, it's just an awesome song.

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) - Chris Tomlin

A bit more modern rendition of Amazing Grace and being set free.

All I Need - Bethany Dillon

When the day is done, and the tassel has been turned, He is all you need. Bethany Dillon's song "All I Need" provides an uplifting beat and an uplifting message.

Thank You - Ray Boltz

Graduation is also an opportunity to thank those important individuals and human angels who have helped you recognize and fulfill your potential along the way. Though admittedly a sad song, it is always one of my favorites, especially since nowadays we often don't say Thank You enough.

Thank You - 33Miles

If Boltz is a little too sappy, another great song that conveys the same sentiments of thankfulness, yet in a bit more upbeat way is Thank You by 33Miles. The song really helps you look at things in a different way and be thankful for each and every day.

All That Matters - Addison Road

It doesn't matter if you were the prettiest, the smartest, or the class clown. All that matters is His love.

I Will Not Be Moved - Natalie Grant

This is another modern musical interpretation that beautifully incorporates lyrics that we all love. All other ground is sinking sand except for those who will not be moved in their faith.

Take My Hand, Precious Lord - performed by Elvis Presley

This is simply a beautiful song and I could honestly listen to Elvis Presley sing it to me in my sleep! In one sense, it represents the end of a lot of hard work while offering a truly amazing beginning in allowing the Lord to take your hand and lead you home. Home can also be considered as a parallel to where and how you are living your life.
