Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. But due to the Memorial Day holiday yesterday I’m doing it on Tuesday. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday May 26TH 2019:

1. “Born Again” – Austin French [# 3 last week / 13TH week on chart]
2. “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co. [4 / 14TH]
3. “Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [7 / 7TH]
4. “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave [1 / 11TH]
5. “Greatness Of Our God” – Newsboys [2 / 14TH]
6. “Is He Worthy ?” – Chris Tomlin [6 / 8TH]
7. “Confidence” – Sanctus Real [5 / 14TH]
8. “Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett [9 / 7TH]
9. “Greater Things” – Mack Brock [10 / 2ND]
10. “Scars” – I AM THEY [8 / 3RD]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Live Like You’re Loved” – Hawk Nelson

Austin French scores his 2ND consecutive # 1 smash here on my chart, and he does it in a much different way than his debut smash “Freedom Hymn”. That was a short-lived (8-weeks overall) hit that debuted at # 3, went to # 2 a week later, and then ascended to # 1 in its 3RD week where it stayed for 4 weeks in a row. This time he spent 13 weeks to reach # 1 with “Born Again”, and it stopped at every chart position along the way except for # 8 and # 2.

♫ I was down on my luck. I was stuck. I was running ’round broken-hearted. I was sinking so fast. I couldn’t last. Falling apart. And You could’ve ran away. Leaving me there in my shame. Leaving me fighting my pain. But You made a better way. ♫

Great lyrics for a great song. It’s the theme song for my fantastic journey !

Summer has begun, and I’m continuing my annual tradition. I’ll be crunching the numbers all summer long, and on a special compilation chart on Tuesday September 03RD I’ll present my Top 10 hits of the Summer Of 2019 based on the 15 weekly charts between now and then.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend (which starts in just 48 hours) – 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to share God’s Good News and win souls for Christ through His music. Enjoy this week my friends. I’m on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m also the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him. AMEN.

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday May 12TH 2019:

1. “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave [# 1 last week / 9TH week on chart]
2. “Greatness Of Our God” – Newsboys [2 / 12TH]
3. “Born Again” – Austin French [5 / 11TH]
4. “Confidence” – Sanctus Real [3 / 12TH]
5. “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co. [4 / 12TH]
6. “Is He Worthy ?” – Chris Tomlin [8 / 6TH]
7. “Scars” – TobyMac [6 / 5TH]
8. “Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [- / 5TH]
9. “Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett [9 / 5TH]
10. “Scars” – I AM THEY [- / 1ST]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Forgiven” – Crowder

It’s great to be back to present the 117TH week of this 3RD era of my personal hit music chart. The 116TH week was compiled as usual (last week), but not published. There were no new entries, and Austin French and TobyMac switched places at # 5 and # 6 respectively.

This week there are some surprises. Austin French continues his ascent, and now he’s got his 2ND Top 3 smash in a row. Could “Born Again” become his 2ND # 1 smash in a row ?  It is my theme song right now.

Elevation Worship has a rare re-entry onto my chart at # 8 – one notch higher than its previous peak at # 9 a couple of months ago. “Resurrecting” has done just that. The song was actually recorded almost 4 years ago, and one of the singers and writers of the song is Mack Brock – who I saw LIVE in concert last week. He was an opening act for Hillsong UNITED. He opened with his current radio hit “Greater Things”. He closed with the refrain from “Do It Again”. That got the entire arena up on their feet – with arms raised – singing out loud to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !

At # 10 this week I AM THEY (out of Carson City Nevada) replace themselves with their follow-up hit to the late-blooming “My Feet Are On The Rock”. It’s called “Scars”, and that makes 2 hits on my chart this week all about “Scars”.

Finally – a special note about my # 1 smash from exactly 2 years ago this week. My man Crowder. I saw him LIVE in concert last week as well. He opened for MercyMe. He put on an awesome show. He performed about 12 or 13 hits – including “Wildfire” which I absolutely loved. I actually thought it was one of his older songs because the crowd was really into it. As it turns out it’s one of his newer songs from his new album “I Know A Ghost”. Ironically he did not perform “Forgiven” – my # 1 smash on this date in 2017. I was surprised. I was a little disappointed. But he’s “Forgiven”.

My friends – I preached a full sermon on this yesterday at my church. God used music to rescue me and save me from the mud and the mire almost 13 years ago. Music makes me happy. God’s music – God’s believers making music – it obliterates any “Gloom & Despair” (the title of my sermon) that the enemy tries to place forth on me. That’s the message that I share with you here on my blog. I do this to share God’s Good News through His music.

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

Newsboys fall to # 2 after a single week at # 1. It’s only the 4TH hit to spend 1 week at # 1 since the start of the K-LOVE era of this chart 26 months ago.

Check out the official music video for my brand new # 1 smash:

♫ But God
Rich in mercy
You came to save me
Now I’m alive

My God
Strong and mighty
You reached down for me
So I could rise ♫

That’s the God I know. The God that saved me. The God that reached down for me. Now I’m “Alive”.

Do you know God ?  He knows you. He knew you before He created you. He loves you. He wants to be with you forever.

Not ready for God yet ?  That’s OK. He’ll wait for you. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again in 2 weekends – 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him. AMEN.
