The official Weekly Top 10 Christian Music Hits song list is compiled by your Guide by checking and averaging Christian charts and top play lists from all over the U.S. such as Billboard and Air 1.
Matthew West is back on top this week (you just can't keep that song down), but Chris Tomlin is nipping at his heels. Smokie Norful and Mary Mary (with Kierra 'Kiki' Sheard) come in with new music, giving an urban groove to this week's Top 10.
1. "The Motions" - Matthew West
Sparrow
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 4 on six different charts again this week (the 17th), I would have to say yes! 
2. "I Will Rise" - Chris Tomlin
EMI
"I Will Rise," which debuted 13 weeks ago, is the latest single off of Chris Tomlin's 2008 release Hello Love.
3. "In The Hands of God" - Newsboys
Inpop
"In The Hands of God," which we first saw nine weeks ago, is the title track from the latest Newsboys release. Very upbeat and positive, this song is a highlight of the album.
4. "Revelation Song" - Phillips, Craig & Dean
INO
"Revelation Song," which debuted two weeks ago, is off of the upcoming August release, fearless. A tribute to the greatness of Jesus, this song is already a hit at radio.
5. "By Your Side" - Tenth Avenue North
Integrity
"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.
6. "There Will Be a Day" - Jeremy Camp
BEC Recordings
This powerful and passionate song comes to us from Jeremy's latest release, Speaking Louder Than Before. The song has set a ton of records at radio and once you hear it, you'll certainly understand why. Outstanding!
7. "Justified" - Smokie Norful
EMI Gospel
Debuting this week, "Justified" comes to us from Live, Smokie's latest release. Pastor Norful takes listeners to church by starting the tune off with a mini-sermon and from there ... it's on!
8. "Set The Dial" - Run Kid Run
Tooth & Nail Records
"Set the Dial" from Love At The Core debuted ten weeks ago. Perfect for any summer afternoon with the top down, this tune reminds us that we are the "radio" to the world - sharing the message of God to those who tune in.
9. "God In Me" - Mary Mary f/ Kierra 'Kiki' Sheard
Columbia
Another newcomer this week, "God In Me" combines the Campbell sisters with Kiki Sheard to deliver an urban flavored jam that will have you dancing in your chair!
