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 Matthew West sit on top this Memorial Day weekend. They're joined by Third Day, Laura Story and Family Force 5, who all bring their latest to the table.

1. "Every Man" - Casting Crowns

Casting Crowns - The Altar and the DoorBeach Street Records
Moving into the top spot in week 7 in the Top 10, "Every Man" is the latest radio release from The Altar and The Door. As always, Mark Hall hits home with the lyrics on this tune, reminding us that there are plenty of every-day type people out there waiting for someone to give them some words of hope, encouragement and love.

2. You Are Everything - Matthew West

Matthew West - Something To SaySparrow
Moving down from number 1, 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 and your soul.

Still holding strong at #3, "All Because of Jesus" comes to us from Fee's 2007 release, We Shine. You've heard this tune before because Casting Crowns covered it on The Altar And The Door but you haven't heard it like this.

6. Call My Name - Third Day

Third Day - RevelationEssential
Debuting this week, "Call My Name" is off of the upcoming new album, Revelation, which releases on July 29th. Brad Avery may be missing, but the classic Third Day sound sure isn't. This rocker is just a taste of what we have to look forward to in July.

7. Mighty To Save - Laura Story

Laura Story - Great God Who SavesINO
Debuting this week, "Mighty To Save" comes to us from Laura's March 2008 release, Great God Who Saves. Laura's cover of the Hillsong tune gives it a pop flavor and she definitely makes it her own.

8. Face Down - Family Force 5

Family Force 5 - Business Up Front Party In The Back (Diamond Edition) Gotee
Debuting this week, "Face Down" is off of Business Up Front/Party In The Back: Diamond Edition. Yes, Family Force 5 rocks the house and "Face Down" shows that they can also rock it for all of the right reasons.

9. 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.

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

Chris Tomlin - See The MorningCourtesy of: EMI
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.
