Think Casting Crowns' "Who Am I" and you'll get an idea of the theme behind "God With Us."

8. 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.
