100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music (100-91)

In 2006, CCM magazine published a list (as voted on by the readers) of the top 100 contemporary songs "that have not only achieved commercial success, but have forever changed the lives of those who have listened."  I thought I would take Jamie's lead and give my two-cents worth along with a few stories about how some of the songs came to be written.  Anyway, let the count down begin.

100. Beautiful Scandalous Night - The Choir (1992)

This was covered by Bebo Norman and Sixpence None The Richer

on City On A Hill: The Gathering (2003)

99. Say The Name - Margaret Becker (1993)

98. Ready Or Not - DeGarmo & Key (1983)

97. Strength Of My Life - Leslie Phillips (1984)

96. Sometimes Alleluia - Chuck Girard (1975)

A founding member of Love Song, a group that many people credit 

with defining the Jesus Movement (precursor to what we now call 

Contemporary Christian Music)

95. He Will Carry You - Scott Wesley Brown (1982)

94. Undo Me - Jennifer Knapp (1998)

This whole album (Kansas) is very good.

93. Undivided - First Call (1986)

92. We Are His Hands - White Heart (1984)

91. The Champion - Carmen (1986)

I'm not a Carmen fan, but you have to admit that he has influenced CCM.

As this continues over the next few weeks, more well known songs will appear, trust me.
