The official Top 10 Weekly Christian hit songs list is compiled by your Guide by checking and averaging Christian charts from all over the U.S. such as Billboard and R&R.
In the first Weekly Top 10 of 2009, Brandon Heath and tobyMac start the new year much like they ended 2008 ... on top. New music from Red, Jamie Slocum, Meredith Andrews and Mandisa adds diversity to the mix and we're off to a good start.
1. "Give Me Your Eyes" - Brandon Heath
Reunion
"Give Me Your Eyes," which was the #8 song for 2008, is off of Brandon's latest release, What If We, which hit stores on August 19, 2008. A soft melody carries a big stick on this tune. 
2. "Lose My Soul" - tobyMac f/ Kirk Franklin & Mandisa
Forefront
"Lose My Soul," from Portable Sounds, features Kirk Franklin and Mandisa as well as lyrics that let you know, beyond doubt, just how sincere about living his life to God's standards tobyMac really is. This song came in at #17 in the Top 40 Songs of 2008.
3. "There Will Be a Day" - Jeremy Camp
BEC Recordings
This powerful and passionate song, which was the 29th most popular Christian song of 2008, comes to us from Jeremy's new release, Speaking Louder Than Before. The song has set a ton of records at radio and once you hear it, you'll certainly understand why. Outstanding!
4. "Fight Inside" - Red
Essential
Debuting this week, "Fight Inside" is the first single release off of the upcoming Innocence & Instinct, which will hit stores on February 10, 2009. All about the temptation that lives inside of each of us and how we have to actively fight it off, this song rocks.
5. "I Trust You" - James Fortune & FIYA
Worldwide Music
"I Trust You" is off of the April 2007 release, The Transformation and it was the 26th most popular song of 2008. With a very Kirk Franklin-ish type of sound, this song (and the wonderful vocals and harmonies) soars.
6. "Whatever You're Doing" - Sanctus Real
Sparrow
"Whatever You're Doing" is a great song about finding your purpose in life off of the band's latest release, We Need Each Other.
7. "Dependence" - Jamie Slocum
Curb
Debuting this week, this single from Jamie Slocum is beautiful and you'll find it touching you to the depths of your spirit.
8. "You Invite Me In" - Meredith Andrews
Word
Debuting this week, "You Invite Me In" is off of The Invitation and this young worship leader nails every note perfectly.
