1. Friend Like That – Hawk Nelson
2. Medicine – The Fold
3. Shake It Off – Dizmas
4. Ra-Random – Transistor Radio
5. Never Going Back To OK – The Afters

These were my Top 5 hits exactly 10 years ago this weekend – Sunday February 10TH 2008.

Hawk Nelson are one of the few Christian pop-rock bands that I’ve been listening to since nearly the beginning of my 11½-year fantastic journey of believing and following my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. They debuted on my personal weekly hit music chart just 2 months after my salvation began. Their 2006 hit “The Show” was my Christmas # 1 smash. They followed that up with “Zero” – a 2007 # 1 smash – and “Friend Like That” – a 2008 # 1 smash. Last Summer “Live Like You’re Loved” was a # 1 smash for 3 weeks. Clearly I love this band’s music and the message in their songs.

Their new album “Miracles” drops 8 weeks from today on Friday April 06TH 2018.

This Monday night I’ll reveal my brand new Top 10 chart of today’s hits !

1. “Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha Cobbs Leonard [# 1 last week / 8TH week on chart]
2. “Miracle” – Unspoken [2 / 7TH]
3. “Bleed The Same” – Mandisa Ft. TobyMac [5 / 9TH]
4. “No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster [6 / 4TH]
5. “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North [4 / 11TH]
6. “Masterpiece” – Danny Gokey [7 / 4TH]
7. “Witness” – Jordan Feliz [8 / 2ND]
8. “Come To The Table” – Sidewalk Prophets [- / 1ST]
9. “Only King Forever” – 7eventh Time Down [9 / 16TH]
10. “Different” – Micah Tyler [10 / 26TH]

One lone new entry this week – the latest from Sidewalk Prophets – a band that I’m just now starting to get into. I saw them LIVE in concert last October in Southwest Florida (Estero) at “Big Church Night Out“, and they were amazing. I realized that I knew most of their songs that they performed because of my daily listening of K-LOVE. At that same concert – performing just before Sidewalk Prophets – 7eventh Time Down. Their hit “Only King Forever” was at # 6 in its 2ND week on this chart on the night of that concert.

This Scripture topped my Sermon this past Sunday morning:

Psalm 115:1 (NLT) – Not to us – O LORD not to us, but to Your name goes all the glory – for Your unfailing love and faithfulness.

Here I am – God – arms wide open. Pouring out – my life – “Gracefully Broken”.

I love to sing along with Matt & Tasha whenever I hear that beautiful song on K-LOVE. It’s only a matter of time before we sing it as part of our Praise & Worship set on Sunday mornings.

At the start of my salvation – about 11½ years ago – I realized my need for God. For the first time ever I said, “I NEED YOU GOD !”, and I’ve been saying that ever since. In the early days I said it quietly – without talking. And God heard me. He hears our thoughts. Now I’m not afraid to say it out loud – no matter who’s there to hear me. I know God’s there to hear me, and He does, so that’s all that matters.

I realized that I’m spiritually poor without Him. God blessed me. The result – I found true happiness – true joy – once I realized that I can’t live without Him. The Kingdom of Heaven is mine. It’s ours.

Matthew 5:3 (NLT) – God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for Him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

A couple of Sunday nights ago I got to see Skillet LIVE in concert for the 3RD time in 8 years. They were the headliner of 2018 Winter Jam here in South Florida. I got to sing my current personal # 1 smash “Lions” out loud and proud in unison with some 19,000 of my brothers and sisters that formed a church family on that glorious night.

This will likely be the 4TH and final week at # 1 for “Lions”, as both “Miracle” and “Gracefully Broken” are vying for the top spot next week. Whenever the latter plays on K-LOVE I can’t get the song out of my mind, and I end up humming and singing it over and over again for hours afterwards.
