TobyMac has recaptured the top spot for Labor Day and MercyMe is close on his heels. Jeremy Camp joins the party with a new song from his latest release.
The official Top Christian Hits Chart is compiled by your Guide by checking and averaging Christian charts and top play lists from all over the U.S. such as Billboard, Cashbox and Air 1 and finding the most popular songs.
1. "Get Back Up" - tobyMac
Forefront
In its 25th week, the second single to hit the Top 10 from tobyMac's Tonight is "Get Back Up." My personal favorite track on the release, this tune epitomizes the fact that as sinners, we will fall, so the question isn't will we fall or will we walk without stumbling. The question is "What will you do after you fall?" The answer should always be "Get Back Up."
2. "All of Creation" - MercyMe
INO Records
"All of Creation" comes from the new The Generous Mr. Lovewell, which hit stores on May 4th. This powerful worship song is gaining amazing momentum at radio and will porbably be another MercyMe classic.

3. "Born Again" - Newsboys
Inpop Records
The title track from the new release Born Again, which hit stores on July 13th, first came to us in late March and has moved down from the #1 spot last week. The first original Newsboys song with Michael Tait on the mic lets us know that this band still has plenty to say and a great way to say it!

4. "Our God" - Chris Tomlin
Sparrow Records/sixstepsrecords
One of Chris Tomlin's many contributions on Passion: Awakening, "Our God" could easily become one of the anthems for the 2010 church.
5. "Lead Me" - Sanctus Real
Sparrow Records
In week #11 and down from hitting #1, "Lead Me" comes from Pieces of a Real Heart. Written by Matt in response to his wife's plea that he become a stronger spiritual leader of their household, this song is powerful stuff.

6. "Light Up The Sky" - The Afters
INO Records
In week #7, "Light Up The Sky" is the title track from The Afters new EP. We first heard this tune on the popular MTV show “The Hills” last June. It will also be on the upcoming CD, Light Up The Sky, which will hit stores next week.
7. "Jesus Saves" - Jeremy Camp
BEC Recordings
Debuting this week, "Jesus Saves" is from last month's new release, We Cry Out: The Worship Project. An original rather than a remake of the classic, this pop/rock tune reminds us that the bottom line in life, no matter who you are, is that Jesus saves!

8. "Hold Us Together" - Matt Maher
Essential Records
In week #8, Matt Maher's "Hold Us Together" is a song asking God to help us keep it in the road. No, he may not give us everything that we think we want, but what is important, his love, is always there.

9. "If We've Ever Needed You" - Casting Crowns
Beach Street Records
"If We've Ever Needed You," which hit the chart nine weeks ago, is the second single release from Until The Whole World Hears. Musically, this is the same Casting Crowns we've come to know and love. Lyrically it is too --- and that is the saving grace here for me.
10. "Healing Begins" - Tenth Avenue North
Reunion Records
In week #13, the very personal "Healing Begins" reminds us to confess our sins because we can't be our own Savior.
