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.
This is a week for talented guys in the Top 10. Matthew West and Newsboys sit on top and Jonny Diaz, Jeremy Camp and Skillet come in with new tunes. Korey and Jen from Skillet are our only ladies and they represent in a big way!
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 8 on five different charts again this week (the 18th), I would have to say yes! 
2. "In The Hands of God" - Newsboys
Inpop
"In The Hands of God," which we first saw ten weeks ago, is the title track from the latest Newsboys release. Very upbeat and positive, this song is a highlight of the album.
3. "I Will Rise" - Chris Tomlin
EMI
"I Will Rise," which debuted 14 weeks ago, is the latest single off of Chris Tomlin's 2008 release Hello Love.
4. "Revelation Song" - Phillips, Craig & Dean
INO
"Revelation Song," which debuted three 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. "More Beautiful You" - Jonny Diaz
INO Records
Debuting this week, this song is a reminder to ladies everywhere that God made each and every one of us for a purpose and even when the world doesn't "see" your beauty, the Lord does.
6. "Wait and See" - Brandon Heath
Reunion
"Wait and See," which debuted two weeks ago, is the second radio release off of What If We. The first single was the #8 song for 2008. We will have to wait and see if this tune will do as well.
7. "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.
8. "Two Hands" - Jars of Clay
Essential Records
"Two Hands" comes from The Long Fall Back To Earth and in week #7 in the charts, it is still hanging on. This pop tune is easy to relate to, as it is all about our battles with the temptations of the world and how hard it can be to surrender.
9. "Speaking Louder Than Before" - Jeremy Camp
BEC Recordings
The second new song in the Top 10 is the second radio release from Jeremy Camp's album of the same name. With a almost power/punk beat, this tune could easily be the official battle cry of 2009 for youth and adults alike.
10. "Hero" - Skillet
Atlantic/INO/Ardent
Our last new song this week is from the upcoming release, Awake, which will hit stores in August. One of those tunes that reaches out, snatches you up, shakes you around a bit and just refuses to let go, this one will be the summer's hottest rocker.
