11. "Revelation" - Third Day

Third Day - RevelationEssential
"Revelation," which we first saw last December, is the title track and second radio single off of the 2008 album, Revelation. This one rocked all the way to the top! Brad Avery may be missing, but the classic Third Day sound sure isn't.

14. "Hero" - Skillet

Skillet - AwakeINO Records / Atlantic
"Hero," which is good on the album and great live and in person, is one of those tunes that reaches out, snatches you up, shakes you around a bit and just refuses to let go.

15. "Wait and See" - Brandon Heath

Brandon Heath - What if WeReunion
"Wait and See," which comes in at #15, is the second radio release off of 2008's What If We. The first single was the #8 song for 2008.

16. "Take Me As I Am" - FM Static

FM Static - Dear DiaryTooth & Nail
"Take Me As I Am" is from the April 7th release, Dear Diary. Showing a slower, softer side of FM Static, this song is as heartfelt a ballad as any you heard all year.

17. "Give Me Your Eyes" - Brandon Heath

Brandon Heath - What if WeReunion
I've been doing this a long time (almost seven years now) and this is the first time I've seen a song be this popular. "Give Me Your Eyes," this year's #17, was also the #8 song for 2008! Both tunes are off of Brandon's 2008 release, What If We. A soft melody carries a big stick on this tune.

18. "Justified" - Smokie Norful

Smokie Norful - LiveEMI Gospel
"Justified" came to us from Live, Smokie's latest release. Pastor Norful takes listeners to church by starting the tune off with a mini-sermon and from there ... it's on!

19. "Peace and Favor Rest on Us" - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers

Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers - Just The BeginningGospocentric
"Peace and Favor Rest on Us" came to us from the two disc set, Just The Beginning. Kurt really goes back to his roots on this one and in a word, it's infectious.

Run Kid Run - Love at the CoreTooth & Nail Records
"Set the Dial" (from Love At The Core) reminds us that we are the "radio" to the world - sharing the message of God to those who tune in.
