This song is definitely a hit for West. Off of the new 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.

8. You Carried Me - Building 429

Building 429 - Iris to IrisWord
Debuting this week, "You Carried Me" is off of 2007's Iris To Iris. This is one of those songs that you'll hear and then you'll think about for the rest of the day.

Building 429's Jason Roy said of the song, "Take a few moments to look at your life. You will see, just as I did, that every good thing in your life was simply a blessing--not a reward, but a blessing. Another moment that God blessed you far beyond what you deserved. How did you get there?? He carried you."

Debuting this week, "Live to Praise" is off of Twila's December release, Small Sacrifice. This is her first album on her own Mountain Spring Music imprint and while lyrically, it isn't as in-depth as her usual songs, it is still beautiful.

10. Believe - Mainstay

Mainstay - Become Who Are YouBEC Recordings
"Believe" brings us Justin Anderson doing some incredible vocals (not unusual, I know) over more "pop" sounding acoustic music.
