And a lot did change that decade—for the better: broadband internet, mobile technology, digital music. Let’s take a look at gospel music released in 2000.

9 Gospel Songs Released in 2000

The year had its ups and downs, but we were still thankful for it all. In hindsight, we’re even more thankful for the music that inspired us to keep going, push hard, thank God and be hopeful, whereas contemporary gospel songs by Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin, Smokie Norful and more helped open doors for culture-shifting lifestyle music that was really relatable.
