Post date June 7, 2021

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back 40+ years. Here’s this week’s chart:

The K-LOVE Fan Awards aired this past Friday night on TBN. It was canceled last year due to the pandemic. I actually wasn’t planning to watch it as it aired, as I was on vacation. But I finished seeing and doing everything that I had planned on my vacation, so I sat on my bed in my hotel room, and I watched it, and I enjoyed it, and I sang along to it. It was a fun show with a fun host (Matthew West) – one of only two awards shows that I still watch on TV. (The other being the GMA Dove Awards.)

Normally (as I’ve done in the past) I’d live-tweet during the original broadcast of the show (@ChrisMDay), but not so this year since I hadn’t planned to watch it until after I returned home from vacation. I’ll try again for the live-tweet during the 2022 awards show. (One of these years I plan to attend it LIVE and in-person in Nashville.)

I voted for 7 of the K-LOVE Fan Awards, and 4 of my 7 votes won:
– Male Artist Of The Year (Zach Williams – one of my favorite singers)
– Breakout Single (“Rise” – Cain – my # 4 hit of all of 2020)
– Worship Song Of The Year (“Waymaker” – Michael W. Smith)
– Song Of The Year (“There Was Jesus” – Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton).

There were a lot of great LIVE performances during the awards show, and Tauren Wells and Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts performing “Until Grace” was one of my favorites of the night. It’s my only new entry this week at # 9.

Here’s the official lyric video for “Until Grace”:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday June 06TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us look upon our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ for guidance and direction – for safety and security.

I have returned from a 77-hour / 472-mile summer vacation road-trip to and from Florida’s Treasure Coast. I spent some quality time, I learned a lot, I had a lot of fun, and I met some great people along the way from Stuart to Sebastian Inlet State Park.

I have at least a month’s worth of new material to write about, and I’ll be sharing that for the next 4 or 5 Thursdays starting this Thursday June 10TH 2021.

One of my many fun visits was to the McKee Botanical Garden just south of the city limits of Vero Beach off U.S. 1. It’s on the U.S. National Register Of Historic Places. From 1932 to 1976 it was known as McKee Jungle Gardens, and it was a popular roadside tourist attraction right alongside the main highway for the U.S. East Coast.

That’s the King James Version from the Book Of Genesis – Chapter 2 – Verses 8 & 9a.

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 224

Post date June 1, 2021

COUNTUP MINISTRIES	FOR THE WEEK ENDING SUNDAY MAY 30TH 2021	WEEK 224

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	12	Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight) [3RD week @ # 1]	TobyMac
2	3	19	Fires	Jordan St. Cyr
3	2	11	God Who Listens	Chris Tomlin Ft. Thomas Rhett
4	4	4	Yes He Can	Cain
5	–	1	When We Fall Apart	Ryan Stevenson Ft. Vince Gill & Amy Grant
6	9	8	Gospel Song	Rhett Walker
7	6	10	Child Of Love	We The Kingdom Ft. Bear Rinehart
8	5	8	God Of Revival	Brian & Jenn Johnson
9	–	1	Be Alright	Evan Craft X Danny Gokey X Redimi2
10	–	1	Hold On To Me	Lauren Daigle

TobyMac is at # 1 for a 3RD week with his smash “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)”. It’s got the 3RD “most increased plays” this week at U.S. Christian radio (large market), and it will very likely hit # 1 nationally in a couple of weeks.

Last week’s BUBBLING UNDER is this week’s highest new entry – straight-in to my Top 5 at # 5. I love the new Ryan Stevenson track “When We Fall Apart”. It’s actually a re-recorded version of the song that was originally released as a single late in 2019 and included on his 2020 album “Wildest Dreams”. The new version features country music singer Vince Gill and his wife of 21 years – pop star Amy Grant. It sounds great on the radio; although, the lyrics do make my eyes water a bit. It’s OK to cry. It’s OK to fall apart.

Here’s the official lyric video for “When We Fall Apart”:

June has arrived, and Summer is here in the U.S.A. It’s going to be a fun Summer, and I’ll be here all season long continuing my 4 blog posts per weekend schedule. This is actually my 5TH blog post for this holiday weekend, so I’ve got a quick turnaround of just 48 hours before my next weekend of blogging begins.

This blog is # 48 worldwide on the Top 90 Christian Music Blogs, Websites, & Influencers in 2021 chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

Be blessed my friends ! May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 30TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us continue to celebrate our living Lord & Savior Jesus Christ – and all that He has done for us.

There’s a great new song on the radio from family band Cain. It’s titled “Yes He Can”. It’s about our almighty God. He moved every mountain. He parted every sea. He defeated the darkness. He delivered me. Yes He did. So Yes He can.

♫ Sometimes those voices try to tell me
I’m forgotten, and I’ve fallen
Too far from His hands
But I know what kind of God He is
And I’m trusting in His promises
I’m believing
And I’m singing
Yes He can ♫

Don’t believe those voices that tell you otherwise. It was a mere 15 years ago that I didn’t who God was – and is. I was far from Him. But He reached out for me, and I accepted Him as my rescuer – as my savior – as my Lord – as my God.

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
and He turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair –
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground,
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing –
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what He has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.
(Psalm 40:1-3 NLT)

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
