As we come to the end of the season of Lent and approach Easter Sunday let's not forget that it is the most important day for Christianity. On Good Friday we commemorate how our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Moreover, let's not forget that God sent his only Son to show us our salvation. And on the third day he rose again from the dead and now sits on the right hand of the Father. So this Easter let's make it a point to thank God for all that he has bestowed on us. What better way to praise him than singing songs to praise His name. This list is not about the hymns or songs of praise and worship but those songs by famous artists which entered the mainstream recently.
Creed's With Arms Wide Open takes the top spot followed by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey's duet When You Believe from the original soundtrack of The Prince of Egypt. In terms of genre it is mostly Rock, Pop, Country and a few R&B hits. Creed and MercyMe have the most number of entries with 4 each followed by Casting Crowns and TobyMac with 3 entries each and Third Day, Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, Jeremy Camp, Matthew West and Flyleaf with 2 entries each.
