6. Under Angels Wing by Max Current

While the song Under Angels Wing by Max Current doesn't have any lyrics, the music will sink into your soul. Bobby Vanover Jr. plays straight from the heart and it comes through in his music. The mix of electric guitar, bass and drums will send you into a place where you feel sheltered from the harshness of the world under the wing of an angel.

7. Restored by Jeremy Camp

Jeremy Camp started out his adult life losing his wife Melissa to cancer. After losing his will to live, he picked himself up off the floor and started walking by faith. Everyone's struggles and devastations are unique and unlike Jeremy's own, but in the song Restored, the lyrics he uses express the restoration of his life giving hope to others that God can restore them from their feeble and broken soul and make them complete.

8. My Jesus by Todd Agnew

Todd Agnew places significance on being who you are and accepting others as they are like Jesus accepts us. My Jesus puts Christianity in a different perspective for those who have been burned by churches and organized religion. In his lyrics he admonishes those who use God for the purpose of gaining worldly wealth, while claiming to be in the world, but not of the world. Todd is one of those artists who sees beyond the four walls of the church and sees people that need acceptance instead of rejection.

9. How Great Is Our God by Chris Tomlin

In Chris Tomlin's words, he says "Another simple song that started from the thought of God's greatness and presence. I love how Psalm 104 writes that "he wraps himself in light…" My hope is that it is simple enough to sing, yet profound enough to cause the heart and soul to stand in wonder. I've already been overwhelmed from the response I've seen from this song."

10. Forevermore by The Abalone Kid

The Abalone Kid spent the first part of his adult life as a full partner in a law firm on Madison Avenue. He left the law and all that it offered to become a street singer and evangelist. While his journey included being disowned by his family, prior colleagues and becoming homeless, he learned what it was to "count the cost" and risk his life for the sake of Christ so that he could gain it. Howie (The Abalone Kid) sings Forevermore with purpose and confidence knowing that he will forever spend his life with Christ. You can feel his heartfelt hope that others will find the same comfort and security in Christ that he has been blessed with as he ministers to them through scripture and song. Listeners of The Abalone Kid's Forevermore CD have said that they realized it wasn't about the style of music, but about the anointing on his music. Another listener, Mark, said "Thank you for your response, that really hit the spot and has helped so much to lift my heart to him. I have made a decision to surrender all that was my past life to him and trust him for the future to come. Many thanks, blessings to you."
