1. “You Say” by Lauren Daigle

Number one chart-topper for 123 weeks on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart, and just as popular in the alternative music circuit, Lauren Daigle's powerful message of identity continues to lift people's spirits and provide hope. 

This song for me was just a reminder of identity. It was a reminder that when I’m weak He is strong. So how do I change that and bring that into my everyday life? When I feel inadequate how is it that there’s always these moments where I feel like God just steps in and supersedes my inadequacies. This entire song was so that every single night I would get up on stage and remind myself that this is the truth. Don’t get buried in confusion, in the waywardness just remember to stay the course.” - Lauren Daigle 

 

2. “Graves Into Gardens” by Elevation Worship (Feat. Brandon Lake)

A song that declares just how faithful God is to us, Brandon Lake co-wrote the track alongside Elevation Worship’s Chris Brown, Steven Furtick, and Tiffany Hammer.

3. “Battle Belongs” by Phil Wickham

"Battle Belongs," charting number one today on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart, comes from Wickham's eighth album release as he declares that God goes before us in every fight.

“We don’t have to pick up a sword and say, ‘This is what I fight with.’ We don’t have to hold a shield and say, ‘We’re going to fight in battle,’ but we come to our God and say, ‘The battle is Yours. Whatever is happening, You are bigger and You are greater.’ So when I fight, I’ll fight on my knees with my hands lifted high. That’s how we, as believers, can fight—in faith and in hope. And that’s what this song, ‘Battle Belongs,’ is all about,” Wickham shares. “Every time I sing it, it pumps me up, because anything we might face, I know that our God is bigger. So as you listen to this song, may the Spirit of the Lord come upon you, and may He remind you He’s with you and He is for you. You have nothing to fear. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf.” - Phil Wickham

5. “Less Like Me” by Zach Williams 

From high school dropout to a college scholarship for his gifts in Basketball, Zach Williams took advantage of the life God handed him a bit early.

6. "Truth Be Told” by Matthew West

Realizing that he didn't want to be a professional Christian forever, West wrote this song about how God will continue to love you no matter what path you may choose. 

“I wrote ‘Truth Be Told’ because I don’t want to be a professional Christian anymore. I wanna be the first person who says ‘You know what? I’ve got some messes and I’m going to dare to believe that there’s a God who loves me anyway. And I’m going to dare to believe that there’s some other Christians who would love me anyway even if they knew that I was less than perfect.’ So I’m putting it out there, truth be told and I hope you will too. Be honest, be vulnerable and trust that the Lord is never going to leave your side.” Matthew West

8. “Out Of My Hands” by Jeremy Camp

Battling trust issues and holding on to things that didn't really matter, Camp finally woke up, put his trust and faith in God, and let go when writing "Out of my Hands."

"This song came out saying 'God, I'm sorry for trying to hold things in my own hands because I'm not in control, you're in control.' And when I finally let that go, the peace came." - Jeremy Camp
