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.
Matthew West and Francesca Battistelli still sit on top this week.
1. "The Motions" - Matthew West
The last single release from Something To Say spent 20 weeks in the Top 10 and was the #1 song of 2008. Does "The Motions," a powerful song about living your life instead of just going through the motions, have what it takes to do as well as "You Are Everything?" With this song being in the top 3 on seven different charts again this week, I would have to say yes!
2. "Free To Be Me" - Francesca Battistelli
After debuting 12 weeks ago, this song moved up the charts like a bullet. The upbeat "Free To Be Me" is the second radio release from My Paper Heart to make the Top 10.
3. "Finally Home" - MercyMe
"Finally Home" is the latest single release from All That Is Within Me and this is the 9th week we've seen it. Bart Millard's favorite song on the album because it reminds him of the day that he'll get to see his dad again, this emotional tune resonates with listeners because we all have loved ones that we long to see again.
4. "God You Reign" - Lincoln Brewster
The latest Lincoln Brewster worship song, which debuted last week, comes from Today Is the Day. and this beautiful yet simple ballad should be a favorite for years to come.
5. "I Will Rise" - Chris Tomlin
"I Will Rise," which debuted three weeks ago, is the latest single off of Chris Tomlin's 2008 release Hello Love.
6. "By Your Side" - Tenth Avenue North
"By Your Side," which debuted last November, is the second radio single from the Dove New Artist of the Year's debut album, Over and Underneath. With very Jon Forman sounding vocals, the song is written from the perspective of Jesus himself, and asks some hard questions about why we don't seem to feel like he's enough.
7. "Peace and Favor Rest on Us" - Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers
"Peace and Favor Rest on Us," which debuted 11 weeks ago, comes to us from the two disc set, Just The Beginning. Kurt really goes back to his roots on this one and in a word, it's infectious.
8. "Never Be The Same" - Red
"Never Be The Same" is the second radio single we've seen from Innocence & Instinct and it made its debut on the charts six weeks ago. This powerful tune is about seeing someone you love lose their way - something we all can relate to.
9. "Fading" - Decyfer Down
"Fading," which debuted two weeks ago, is from Crash, the upcoming May release, not the EP from last year. With TJ Harris on vocals instead of Caleb Oliver, the sound is different but not in a bad way.
