My Top Christian Songs of 2010

#1 Our God - Chris Tomlin ; Awakening CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlA5IDnpGhc

This is a choice that only the family cynic could object to. A worship classic for years to come.

 2. More Like Fallin' In Love - Jason Gray ; All the Lovely Losers CD
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKTW-srvr6E

  Serving Christ out of love not obligation. Hits the nail on the head like no song I've heard in a long time. How did I forget it my first time through?

3. Of Men and Angels - The Rocket Summer ; Of Men and Angels CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_GmLkIu2ew

   "Here I am, dear Lord, tasting hints of fame
And I don’t want it anymore
If it’s not you that I gain
Wanna fall at your feet
Don’t wanna fall from your peace
I understand ..."

4. Something To Believe In - Parachute ; The Way It Was CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hrpJZsJfPQ

You wake up every morning looking for your answer
You’re waiting for your sign
While Jeremiah’s on his way to tell the people
But you watch him pass you by
You walk the streets at night still looking for your reason
But you don’t want to try
You swear the world has got you backed into a corner
But no one holds your hand to walk into a fight
You swear the light is gonna find you
But it can’t find you if you’re waiting all the time

Not the most blatantly Christian words ever, but still not bad for a mainstream band of Christians, or so I am told. And the song is amazing! (and the theme for the Rose Bowl on ESPN)

5. Forever Reign - Hillsongs ; Beautiful Exchange CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au3EGgISYMc

Another worship classic.

6. Burn Me Down - House of Heroes ; Suburba CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9aOv5YMVPI

Christian rock opera? Great words. Song 2 and 4 have a common scripture passage. Guess what?

7. Surrender - Third Day ; Move CD
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlena_xOTBE

 Great words, great southern rock sound

8. Lift Up Your Face - Third Day ; Move CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij71LWwPt-w

  Ditto

9. Start Somewhere - TobyMac ; Tonight CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rT7Zci7LQQ

 So Toby, you fight with your wife too?

10. Lay Down - Jars of Clay ; Shelter CD

    John 15:13 put to music. Sorry, no link

11. Don't You Know You're Beautiful - Seabird ; Rocks Into Rivers
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsaMplgr3c4

     Struggle with self image? God thinks you're beautiful

12. Hey Devil - TobyMac ; Tonight CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9tM4-8sOPM

    Love it. Fun song and it rocks.

13. Here Goes - Bebo Norman ; Ocean CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S97O9395rgc

  Song about stepping out in faith, not being held back by fear. Good stuff

14. Moving Backwards - Ben Rector ; Into the Morning CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAEBaBRk9oU

   If you tread water in the river of life you will be pulled backwards; heavy stuff

15. Love Invades - Robbie Seay Band ; Miracle CD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAJOlH8bUK4

 Love the early70's rock sound!

16. Hey - Rocket Summer ; Of Men and Angels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39zxvxSYwIQ

  The wrestle with the flesh.

17. Boasting - LeCrae ; Rehab
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np1-mO0Lvrk

  " Tomorrow's never promised, but it is we swear
Think we holding our own, just a fist full of air
God has never been obligated to give us life
If we fought for our rights, we be in hell tonight
Mere sinners own nothing but a fierce hand
We never loved him we pushed away his pierced hands
I rejected his love, grace, kindness, and mercy
Dying of thirst, yet, willing to die thirsty
Eternally worthy, how could I live for less?"

18. There is A Way - Neworldson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17eWXuUTq5s

Where did this song come from? The rest of the album is totally uncool!

There were alot of other good songs by Christian artists but I chose these because of the music and the message. Let me know which were your faves.
