The official Top 10 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.

MercyMe takes the top spot with "God With Us," taking Casting Crowns out of number one after a 19 week run. New music from Pillar, Demon Hunter, The Afters, Grey Holiday and Wavorly enters the Top 10, making this a week of new tunes!

1. God With Us - MercyMe

MercyMe - All That Is Within MeINO
Think Casting Crowns' "Who Am I" and you'll get an idea of the theme behind "God With Us."

    Who are we that You would be mindful of us what do...

MercyMe has hit the bulls-eye again with this first single off of their latest album, All That Is Within Me. This week it takes the top spot on the chart after sitting at number 3 last week.

2. Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) - Chris Tomlin

Chris Tomlin - See The MorningEMI
Chris Tomlin puts a new spin on a classic hymn by adding the very powerful praise chorus "My Chains Are Gone." As always, Chris does a fine job of bringing a classic to the fore-front of the 21st Century.

From the upcoming February 12, 2008 release, Relentless, the piano-driven "In Better Hands" is soft-spoken yet powerful, much like the lady herself.

4. East to West - Casting Crowns

Casting Crowns - The Altar and the DoorBeach Street Records
This beautiful song, off of the latest Casting Crowns release, The Altar and The Door, is one of my favorites. The usual fare from Casting Crowns, "East to West" boasts deep, meaningful lyrics, a perfect blend on the vocals and sterling musicianship. After only four weeks in the Top 10, this song moved up to number one and it stayed there for 19 weeks until this week, when MercyMe took top honors.

5. For The Love Of The Game - Pillar

Pillar - For The Love Of The GameProvident
Debuting this week, "For The Love Of The Game" is the title track off of the upcoming (Feb., 2008) release. One word description for this tune .... Rocks!. Want more? OK - Rocks Hard!

6. Carry Me Down - Demon Hunter

Demon Hunter - Storm The Gates Of HellTooth & Nail
Debuting this week, "Carry Me Down" is one of the slower, more melodic songs on Storm The Gates Of Hell. Not typical DH, but not bad either.

7. Never Going Back To OK - The Afters

The Afters - Never Going Back To OKProvident
Debuting this week, "Never Going Back To OK" is the title track off of another upcoming February release. Upbeat pop is the phrase of the day and The Afters do it quite well.

8. You Are Everything - Matthew West

Matthew West - Something To SaySparrow
Moving down from Number 5 last week, this song is a hit for West. Off of the upcoming (Jan. 15) release, Something To Say, Matthew West has a great deal to say after successful vocal cord surgery. This album isn't simply food for thought ... it's food for your spirit.
