This page will discuss the different songs we use in Celebrate Recovery, and why we use them.

 This Is The Stuff recorded by Francesca Battistelli  —  SPECIAL MUSIC ONLY

This is a song that has been on the top of the national Billboard.com Contemporary Christian Charts for a long time.  It’s unusual for CR in that it is a song that seems kind of light, and some might even consider it kind of flip, but I think on the right night, it can be the perfect song for special music just before the message or testimony.  It’s a great song for CR because sometimes it’s all the little things that frustrate us so much and put us over the top, that make us take a drink or turn to the drug of our choice.  I love one of the lines from the bridge where she sings, “It’s not the end of the world” because sometimes I think we take ourselves too seriously. 

Our people really loved this song.  I was very careful, however, to not use this song on a night where we had a really serious testimony.
