7. "By Your Side" - Tenth Avenue North

Tenth Avenue North - Over and UnderneathIntegrity
Debuting this week, "By Your Side" is the second radio single from the band'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. "Mighty to Save" - Laura Story

Laura Story - Great God Who SavesINO
First hitting the charts back in May, "Mighty To Save" is one of those songs that just never gets old. It 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.

9. "There Will Be a Day" - Jeremy Camp

Jeremy Camp - Speaking Louder Than BeforeBEC Recordings
Debuting this week, this powerful and passionate song comes to us from Jeremy's upcoming November 25th 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!

10. "Crash" - Decyfer Down

Decyfer Down - CrashINO Records
Debuting this week, the title track off of Decyfer Down's upcoming February 2009 release (and current EP by the same name) rocks harder than we've seen the band rock. The harder direction really works for the guys and the strong lyrics help make this one a winner.
