By Kim Jones, About.com

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.

Casting Crowns and Chris Tomlin have dibs on the top slots this week and new music comes our way from Steven Curtis Chapman and Disciple.

1. 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. It only took 4 weeks for this tune to move to the number 1 spot in the charts.

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