20 The Countdown Magazine - 20 The Countdown Magazine (3/7/26)

Where'd you go?

Get ready, kids.

Thank you for making this the most listened to Christian music countdown around the world.

On your radio, on your Alexa device, wherever you listen to podcasts.

And streaming 24-7 at 20thecountdown.com.

Hey, I'm Matthew West.

Hey, what's up? This is Toby Mac.

Hey, I'm Phil Wickham, and this is 20 The Countdown Magazine.

New music, the latest artist news, and the stories behind the songs.

Spreading the gospel around the world through music.

One countdown at a time.

This is...

Well, hey there, I'm William Ryan III.

Your host here at 20The Countdown Magazine.

And I hope you're ready because this week's show is full of surprises.

We have 10 songs climbing higher than they were last week.

Five that slipped back a little bit, and four are holding their ground.

And we also have one brand new song making its debut on the countdown this week.

So that means half of this chart is on the rise, and one of those songs took a leap five spots, which is really unusual.

If you love watching songs make their way up the chart, then this is your kind of week.

Turn it up and lean in, and let's get started counting down the biggest songs in Christian music.

20 The Countdown Magazine

Well, our first song on the chart is one that just debuted last week, and it's holding steady.

Here is Elevation Rhythm with Wash.

Number 20

The Countdown Magazine

Oh, how can you love and watch?

Do you know how many you want to stay in the blood?

Oh, how can you love?

Could you check away my shame?

And you never took the cross?

You got me running out of grace?

Oh, how could you hear I call?

Could you check away my shame?

And you never took the cross?

You got me running out of grace?

Oh, how can you love?

Oh, it took away my shame?

And you never took the cross?

How can you love?

Oh, how can you hear I call?

Could you check away your shame?

And you never took the cross?

You got me running out of grace?

Oh, how can you love?

Could you check away my shame?

And you never took the cross?

You got me running out of grace?

Oh, how can you love?

Could you check away my shame?

And you never took the cross?

That is Elevation Rhythm at number 20 again this week with their song called Washed,

which just debuted last weekend on the chart.

And speaking of new songs debuting on the chart, this week we have another new one, it's

from Matthew West and his latest, this is called Good, and here's Matthew with a story

about it.

As long as I can remember, I've struggled to fully understand the depths of God's grace

and the reality that it truly is a free gift.

Instead, I get it all twisted and I think if I do enough good stuff, then maybe just

maybe I'll be good enough for grace.

But this is what Paul said in Romans 11, verse 6, and since it is through God's kindness,

then it is not by their good works.

For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is, free and undeserved.

So I hope that when you listen to this song, you remember what I'm trying to learn every

single day.

You're not loved because you're worthy, you're loved because he's good.

That was Matthew West and he was telling us about this new one of his that's hit in the

chart this week.

It is called Good, on 20.

Number 19.

New music.

I used to think grace was a ladder, every sinner had to climb.

If only I could just do better, I could earn it over time.

Tried to work my way to good, trouble is I never could, but then you showed me just

exactly how grace works.

I'm good at always falling down, you're good at never giving up, I'm good at getting

turned around, you're good at saying I'm still loved, and I was ranked by mercy the day

I understood, I'm not loved because I'm worthy, I'm loved because you're good.

I think Paul wrote the book of Romans, for people just like me, for all the beat up

and the broken, I need to know the grace is free, why do I do the things I shouldn't

and I don't do the things I should, that's just the proof, you're the only part of me

that's good, I'm good at always falling down, you're good at never giving up, I'm good at getting turned around, you're good at saying I'm still loved,

and I was ranked by mercy the day I understood, I'm not loved because I'm worthy, I'm loved because you're good.

I'm loved because you're God, I'm loved because you're faithful to me even when I'm not.

Oh God, you are so good, when there's nothing good at me, I'm just a grateful sinner, save my youth, all I have to be.

I'm good at always falling down, you're good at never giving up, I'm good at getting turned around, you're good at saying I'm still loved,

and I was ranked by mercy the day I understood, I'm not loved because I'm worthy, I'm loved because you're good.

I'm loved because you're God, I'm loved because you're faithful to me even when I'm not.

Oh God, you are so good, when there's nothing good at me, I'm just a grateful sinner, save my youth, all I have to be.

I was ranked by mercy the day I understood, I'm not loved because I'm worthy, I'm loved because you're good.

That's a brand new one from Matthew West, it is called Good, debuting at number 19 here on 20.

And next, it's Terian, she's holding steady with her new one, this is called Testimony, on 20 The Countdown Magazine.

Number 18.

This is the moment where everything turns, didn't think I was see it, was hard to believe, having crashes to earth.

I've read the stories of all that you've done, parted the sea and said Captain's reign, never thought I'd be one.

I am a living, breathing, walking testimony, I am the living, proof of what the Lord has done.

They call it crazy, but they can't take away my story, because I am a living, breathing, walking testimony.

They said I wouldn't make it, that I should give up, but they didn't know that the God that I serve is more than enough.

He can move mountains, he can make walking beautiful, and we're running out of love when I come to the God of miracles.

I am a living, breathing, walking testimony, I am the living, proof of what the Lord has done.

They call it crazy, but they can't take away my story, because I am a living, breathing, walking testimony.

Look what the Lord has done, look what the Lord has done.

All the enemy did what he could, but the Lord has used it for good.

All the work the Lord has done, all the work the Lord has done.

When the faith tries to still and destroy the Lord, give in and full of joy.

Yeah, I am a living, breathing, walking testimony.

I am a living, proof of what the Lord has done.

They call it crazy, but they can't take away my story.

I am a living, breathing, walking testimony, I am a living, breathing, walking testimony.

I am a living, proof of what the Lord has done.

I am a living, proof of what the Lord has done.

I am a living, proof of what the Lord has done.

I am a living, proof of what the Lord has done.

Well, I am talking about fun facts, I wanted to fill you in on something, because there is a whole other layer of 20 of the countdown magazine that is happening off the air.

That is right, we have a private Facebook group that is just for you as a 20 listener, and it is where the conversation keeps going all week.

That is where we ask fun questions, we share behind the scenes moments, we read comments from listeners all over the globe, and it is not just the comments that are cool.

Coming up.

Well, so far there has only been three songs in the countdown this week, and one of those was a brand new song from Matthew West, the other two, they were holding steady in the same position as they were last week, and the rest of the chart is looking pretty interesting, so I encourage you to stay with me,

Listeners supported 20th countdown magazine with William Ryan III.

Welcome back to our countdown. You know, we have 17 more to go, so hopefully you are planted for a little while to hear what happens on the show.

Next up, it's Caleb and John, and they're in to tell us about this new one of theirs called, Finished.

Really, the heart behind this song is from Philippians 1-6. It says, I'm sure of this that he who started a good working you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

And what a powerful reminder that God is not finished.

Yes, we're trusting God that you will always finish your story. If it's not good, it's not finished.

17th countdown magazine is back in a sec.

I try the best I can, then I fall in ball again, but I thank God he picks me up every single time.

He's not going to need it, not going to deal with no matter what.

When it going through, our hope is in an empty tomb, and the God has still not hit it.

His grace is taking broken roads. He loves us more than we can know.

Till he goes back, will he go home? I'm not your night, he's not finished.

There's times we're all going to feel just a little lost, but thank God we all could find grace on a rugged cross.

Because his promises will stand, he'll come clean what he began.

I got known down, but he'll be with us through it all.

He's not going to need it, not going to deal with no matter what.

When it going through, our hope is in an empty tomb, and the God has still not hit it.

His grace is taking broken roads. He loves us more than we can know.

Till he goes back, will he go home? I'm not your night, he's not finished.

He's not finished.

Oh, he's not finished.

He's not finished.

What a tore down. His grace rebuilt.

Enjoy and paint. He's working still.

And he's not finished.

He's not finished.

He's not going to need it, not going to deal with no matter what.

When it going through, our hope is in an empty tomb, and the God has still not hit it.

His grace is taking broken roads. He loves us more than we can know.

Till he goes back, will he go home? I'm not your night, he's not finished.

He's not finished.

Oh, he's not finished.

He's not finished.

He's not finished.

20th countdown magazine.

I feel like I just keep pretending.

And I'm slowly going out of my mind.

And I feel like you could be the one

who would catch me when my wings won't fly.

Would you lift me up?

Would you lift me up when the world gets cold?

And it's all too much.

Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of.

When I'm breaking down, running low on it up, need a head to hold.

Want to feel your touch.

Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of.

And lift me up, I've been acting like a brave heart.

I don't feel all that favorite parts, but it's been heavy on my heart.

It's been weary on my soul, would you lift me up?

Would you lift me up when the world gets cold?

And it's all too much.

Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of.

When I'm breaking down, running low on up Need a head to hold, wanna feel your touch

Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of

And lift me up

And lift me up

And lift me up

And lift me up

When the world gets cold and it's all too much

Sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of

When I'm breaking down, running low on up

Want to feel your touch sometimes I need somebody to remind me what I'm made of

And lift me up

With William Ryan III

Made possible by you

This is listener supported 20thaccountdown magazine with William Ryan III

But we are less than a week away from this next guy headlighting his black sheep to her. It has been fuller in next with his song called Blacksheep

On 20thaccountdown magazine

Number 15

You broke through a thousand fences

Been rescued from the thousand ditches

You still swear you don't fit in so you kick and scream and you're gone again

Wandering off into the devil's womb

How's it going out there acting like you ain't scared?

How's that heart stone?

Ain't so hard when you're long crying tears

You hope nobody sees

Guess the good news is he'll never leave you be

Jesus loves you Blacksheep

You hate everything about you

You think we're better off without you

You wear your paint out on your sleeve and your paint it on in a rebel league

With the alcohol and pills ain't fixed to clean

How's it going out there acting like you ain't scared?

How's that heart stone?

Ain't so hard when you're long crying tears

You hope nobody sees

Guess the good news is he'll never leave you be

Jesus loves you Blacksheep

Jesus loves you Blacksheep

Can't tell you when I ain't no profit

But they'll come upon in time when you can't stop it

The good shepherd's love smells like smoke

There ain't no hell so low where he won't let the howl to heaven bore

Second let the howl to heaven bore

So how's it going out there acting like you ain't scared?

How's that heart stone?

Ain't so hard when you're long crying tears

You hope nobody sees

Guess the good news is he'll never leave you be

An amazing grace is a pesky pesky thing

But the good news is he'll never leave you be

Jesus loves you Blacksheep

Jesus loves you Blacksheep

That's number 15 from Ben Fuller, it's called Blacksheep

On 20, the countdown magazine

Whatever my life you are still my God it is well

Isn't that good?

I've had it with the way of this world

I've spitting my last day chasing those lines

And now I want the world to amaze

Number 13 on 20th countdown magazine

Well do you ever feel like you're the only one going through a tough season

We're going through stuff like that sometimes you can feel like you're all alone

I want to share a note that we got from Daisy in Alabama

She said, I just want to thank y'all for being there for me

When I am dealing with a lot of anxiety and a little bit of depression

I just got married and a lot of family challenges happen

Y'all have really encouraged me and thank you so much

Well Daisy, first of all, thank you for being honest and being transparent there

I think a lot of us understand that feeling

And you can find a joyful season and still be overwhelmed at the same time

And life has a way of mixing mountain tops and valleys together, doesn't it?

If you're listening right now and that sounds familiar

Then just know that you're not the only one

These songs are more than just background music to have on throughout the weekend

They remind us who God is when our emotions are all over the place sometimes

Hi, hello, hey, you are listening to 20thaccountdown magazine with William Ryan III

Well, before we get to that artist news this week, we have one more song to play and it's from Peter Burton

Here is Where Would I Be on 20th

Stand in where I stand now, I know that he's the reason

I almost keep leaving

Every wrong turn, he turned around

And I can just imagine if it didn't happen, how it happened

You've seen how good he's been to me

Oh, I can't help but think

Where would I be if I didn't like Jesus

Pulling me out of that grave

Where would I be if I didn't like mercy

Pulling me away from my way

Is I probably crashing birds

They stuck down in that dirt

Like I'm trying to go running from home

Where would I be if I didn't like Jesus

They got, they got, they got I'll never know

I used to feel the weight of the chains that I was holding

Till my savior came and broken

I used to walk with shame

I was living at a lost hill

He settled up my car, stopped the cross

Giving his life so I could live

Didn't leave me where I fell

Where would I be if I didn't like Jesus

Pulling me out of that grave

Where would I be if I didn't like mercy

Pulling me away from my way

Is I probably crashing birds

They stuck down in that dirt

Like I'm trying to go running from home

Where would I be if I didn't like Jesus

They got, they got, they got I'll never know

They got, I'll never know

Where would I be if I didn't like Jesus

Pulling me out of that grave

Where would I be if I didn't like mercy

Pulling me away from my ways

I probably crashing birds

They stuck down in that dirt

Like I'm trying to go running from home

Where would I be if I didn't like Jesus

They got, they got, they got I'll never know

They got, I'll never know

They got, they got, they got I'll never know

Moving up one to number 12

That is Peter Burton with Where Would I Be on 20

Artist news

Three things you need to know

Number one

Well Jamie McDonald, she recently sat down with our friends

at CC Magazine to share more about her story

How God carried her through and how those experiences shaped her music

She also shared a verse that's been grounding her in this season

Yeah, trust and learn with all your heart

Do not depend on your own understanding

Seek his will in all you do

And he will show you which path to take

I love this version, I don't know this one very well

And LT

But yeah, I just think like

I keep going back to that verse

Just even in this season where I'm like

I don't know what's next

There's so much unknown and I'm often like

Only able to process like what I'm doing in the moment

Because everything ahead just feels like

So, but just like he will tell you the path to take

And you know to him

Our understanding is like a child

So it's just like trusting him

Because he knows best

And know that he's gone before me already

And trusting him with all my heart

Not just part of it

You know, just like

Give it all to you

And his way really is the best

Yeah, everything is

Well if you want to hear more of that interview with Jamie McDonald

From our friends at CCM Magazine

We'll have the full version up for you at our website

20thaccountdown.com

Number two

Megan Woods just announced a brand new devotional

Called Believing God for the unbelievable

It was of course inspired by her song

I believe you that you've heard here on our countdown

Now she shared that this devotional comes from a place of surrender

And it's all about trusting God

Even when things feel uncertain

Because his word never fails

Here's a little reminder of that song that inspired this devotional

So I believe you

When you say you're fighting for me

I believe you

When you tell me that my story

Is it over just yet?

I will rise up again

You promise me that I will make it through

And I believe you

Number three

Well the artist Jeremy Rosado is making his return to the TV show called The Voice

It's a popular singing competition on NBC

Now you might remember him from season 21

Where he made it all the way into the top 10

He just teased a return to the show with coach Kelly Clarkson

And he didn't spill all the details yet

But that just makes it even more exciting

Who knows what is coming next

For more details on this story as well as the others that I share with you this week

Just visit our website

20thaccountdown.com

Year up to date

That was three things you need to know

Now back to the countdown with William Ryan III

Hey this is Colton Dixon

My new song The Love I Have for you

Was inspired by these last couple years

A lot of highs, extremely busy

But it didn't come without its lows as well

Just being absolutely exhausted not knowing if there was any gas left in the tank

And I was taken to a scripture in Romans 8

Which says that we are more than conquerors

Because of the love that lives inside of us

So I wrote this song as a reminder that no matter what you're facing

The love that lives inside of us enables us to overcome

Never a love in

Here I am, back again

Asking how I'm ever gonna make it out

You told me once, you told me twice

You say it again a thousand times

With the love I have for you

In a mountain you can move

In the dark I'll be the light

In the final bite of your sight

When your makeup is strong

Your heart will lose your soul

Oh you're gonna make it through

With the love I have for you

I can't hear when the phone calls

Not that when the tree falls

Same way the time fades to the end

Not in the field

I'm going through the motions

Missing all the moments

Time flies and like that

You told me once, you told me twice

You say it again a thousand times

With the love I have for you

In a mountain you can move

In the dark I'll be the light

In the final bite of your sight

When your makeup is strong

Your heart will lose your soul

Oh you're gonna make it through

With the love I have for you

No better time, no greater truth

The love that I have for you

It's red or white, it's to the moon

You'll be alright, you'll make it

With the love I have for you

In a mountain you can move

In the dark I'll be the light

In the final bite of your sight

When your makeup is strong

Your heart will lose your soul

Oh you're gonna make it through

With the love I have for you

Throwback

The splendor of a king

Clothed in majesty

And all the earth's returns

All the earth's returns

He wraps himself in light

And the darkness tries to hide

It trembles at his voice

Trimbles at his voice

How great is our God?

Sing with me how great is our God?

And all we'll see how great

How great is our God?

The ancient age is dead

And the time is dead

His hands give me every end

Getting at the end

They've got everything in one

Father, spirit, son

Light and lamp

Light and then the lamp

How great is our God?

Sing with me how great is our God?

And all we'll see how great is our God?

Name above all names

Sing with me how great is our God?

And all we'll see how great is our God?

Name above all names

Sing with me how great is our God?

And all we'll see how great is our God?

How great is our God?

Sing with me how great is our God?

How great is our God?

Sing with me how great is our God?

And all we'll see how great is our God?

How great is our God?

Sing with me how great is our God?

And all we'll see how great is our God?

That is a throwback here on 20th countdown magazine

And that goes back 20 years ago if you can even believe that.

I had to double check my map on that deal.

That is from 2006 that is how great is our God by Chris Tomlin.

He gave the church one of the biggest worship songs of that modern era.

That song right there.

Well last week on the show we had a song that was at number one for a second week in a row.

Do you remember what it was?

Last week's number one song.

With every breath within me, with every song and melody, let it be a hallelujah.

In every breaking moment, in every place and that you give, let it be a hallelujah.

Let it be a hallelujah.

That was last week's number one song from Lauren Dagle.

It's called Let It Be a Hallelujah.

That was her second week in a row to be in that top spot.

But you're going to have to stick around a little longer because we were about to launch into our top 10 remaining songs of the week.

And you know, fun. She's back there again this week or not.

Listener supported 20th countdown magazine.

We'll be back with your 10 songs of the week.

20th countdown magazine.

Well, hey, welcome back.

You were at the midpoint of 20th countdown magazine.

I'm your host, William Ryan III.

And the top 10 this week is really strong.

We've got four female artists represented inside our top 10, which is exciting to see.

And talk about movement.

This chart is anything but calm.

One song dropped five spots while another jumped up five.

And there's some serious momentum shift here.

Stick around to see whether Lauren Dagle held on that number one spot for a third week in a row

or made space for someone else there in the top.

20th countdown magazine.

Hey, this is Jamie McDonald and you're listening to my song Laughter in the River.

Number 10.

I have buttons on my shoulders on my life.

I try to try to leave them all behind.

The freedom's one thing I could never find.

I set a prayer from the banks of the river.

God met me that showing me something better.

My life was changed when I stepped into the water.

Hanged in my chains since I came home to the father.

How late will you?

I've been delivered.

Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?

I left it in the river.

Oh, I left it in the river.

Oh, no.

There's nothing I can take this joy of fire.

He raised me up and I ain't coming now.

He watched me clean and now there ain't no doubt.

He turned it all around.

My life was changed when I stepped into the water.

Hanged in my chains since I came home to the father.

How late will you?

I've been delivered.

Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?

I left it in the river.

Oh, I left it in the river.

Oh, no.

I set a prayer from the banks of the river.

God met me that showing me something better.

Hanged in my chains since I came home to the father.

How late will you?

I've been delivered.

Where is my guilt?

Where is my shame?

I left it in the river.

Oh, no.

There's nothing I can take this joy of fire.

Where is my guilt? Where is my shame?

I left it in the river.

Oh, I left it in the river.

Oh, I left it in the river.

Oh, I left it in the river.

Oh, no.

There's nothing I can take this joy of fire.

Dominic Donald at number 10 this time with left it in the river.

I'm 20 The Countdown Magazine.

Are you ready for the longest running song on this weekend's countdown?

At 26 weeks, here is Jeremy Camp with no survivors.

I'm at war with my humanity.

Trying to reclaim my sanity.

Nothing in my veins would vanity.

It's the same old, same old.

It told me it's your battle, God, so I need you to fight.

Cause if I'm gonna live, then there's some things I need to die.

My ego, my pride, my grip on my life.

Throw it all into the fire and leave no survivors.

Survivors.

I'm not listening to the same old, same old.

My ego, my pride, my grip on my life.

Throw it all into the fire and leave no survivors.

Survivors.

You push him back to the dark to give me closer to the light.

It's funny to tell my enemies there's nowhere left to hide.

It told me it's your battle, God, so I need you to fight.

Cause if I'm gonna live, then there's some things I need to die.

My ego, my pride, my grip on my life.

Throw it all into the fire and leave no survivors.

Survivors.

Cause if I'm gonna live, then there's some things I need to die.

Survivors.

Throw it all into the fire and leave no survivors.

20 The Countdown Magazine.

Hey all, this is Seth Schleeder and this is the story behind the song won't start now.

This song was really written for anybody out there who needs some encouragement.

Anyone going through a difficulty, a trial, a struggle and just needs a reminder of God's faithfulness.

I love in the Psalms where David says I was young and now I'm old but never once in all that time.

I've ever seen the righteous forsaken.

It's such a good reminder that we have a God who takes care of us.

That in the big things and the small things and every single detail he is faithful, he is consistent, he shows up.

He never abandons us and so I pray that this song will be a reminder to you of that.

Of a God who is for us, a God who has never let us down and he won't start now.

I've never lived a moment that you went by my side because you've never made a promise turned around and changed your mind.

You've never left me in the cold, never hurt me or let me go.

You've never helped before and you won't start now.

You won't start now.

I know I won't be on my own, whatever comes.

You've never let me walk alone, not even once and you won't start now.

I'll never be abandoned in the dead of night.

I'll never have to worry if I'll be alright.

I'll never have to wander if I'm on your mind.

I'll never see a breakthrough calm that isn't right or in time.

You've never left me in the cold, never hurt me or let me go.

You've never helped before and you won't start now.

You won't start now.

I know I won't be on my own, whatever comes.

You've never let me walk alone, not even once and you won't start now.

You won't start now.

I'll never walk away.

You won't start now.

You're gonna be there for me every night in day.

You'll be my shelter.

You will be my heart in place.

And I know you're never going to let me down, down, down

And you won't start now, you won't start now

I know I won't be on my own, whatever comes

You've never let me walk alone, not even once

And you won't start now

You've never let me down

I know I won't be on my own, whatever comes

You've never let me walk alone, not even once

And you won't start now, you won't start now

That's number eight from Seth's leader, it's called won't start now

And he actually dropped five spots this week to that position right there

Which that doesn't happen all the time when you see a song drop like that

But there's another song that sort of swapped places with him

And I won't give you any spoilers or anything

But I will say that that song jumped up five spots

So you'll find out a little later what that is

Well before we jump back into the music

Here is a song that's making a three-point leap up the chart this week

It's a new one from Phil Wickham

Here is homesick for heaven

Number 7

My heart been longs

To a country and a king

Of a land I've always known

But I've never seen

Some call it paradise

Or the land of the land

Where I call it home

And I'm homesick for heaven

I wanna walk with roses

On streets of gold

And dance with David before you throw

To thank you face to face

For the grace you've given

I wanna see my children

Run through your arms

And worship to save you

Who has my scars

Is making my heart

I'm homesick for heaven

In my father's house

There are many rooms

Enough for everyone

Enough for you

I know we take some faith

But today you can know

With a question

Believe in the power

Of Jesus name

And you're going to heaven

Oh

Hallelujah

In Jesus name

And we're going to heaven

I wanna walk with roses

On streets of gold

And dance with David before you throw

To thank you face to face

For the grace you've given

I wanna see my children

Run through your arms

And worship to save you

Who has my scars

Is making my heart

I'm homesick for heaven

No more fear

No more pain

Every tear I've tore

Crying only

Holy

As we kneel on the floor

And wait for us

Have a more crying only

Holy

I wanna go home

I wanna go home

To see the ones I love

Who've gone before

With death is a memory

And tears are no more

To hear the angels praise

And you even imagine

Oh, run as fast as I can

Into your arms

Cause I was created to be where you are

Does it make it my heart

I'm homesick for heaven

Does it make it my heart

I'm homesick for heaven

Does it make it my heart

I'm homesick for heaven

It is Phil Wickham at number seven

With homesick for heaven

Holy Saint New Magic

This Saint New Magic

Well, I'm finally in love

I'm going to sit my world on fire

To watch me burn

Hey mom, you can be proud

That I'm finally in tune

And I'm feeling like a child

Like a life I never knew

Caught up in my heart

There's a piece that I can't shake

They could try to put me down

But I seem gone inside the flesh

I don't know what I'm gonna power

These eyes got power

These love got power

These touch got power

This heart got power

These eyes got power

I feel it in my veins

I'm dancing every day like

I am probably in love

I'm gonna sit my world on fire

Number four.

Hey y'all, it's Ann Wilson.

And this is the heart behind God's story.

I wrote this song after thinking about all the things that I've taken place in my life

over the last several years.

When I was 15 years old, my older brother Jacob passed away in a car accident.

He was my best friend and my big brother.

And ever since then, me and my family have endured some of our darkest days.

When the song says, I've gone where the hopeless go.

The dead end of a broken road.

And I've learned there's a place so low that you can't see a way out.

That's what I'm talking about.

But over the last few years, God has done so many incredible things in my life.

And now I get to travel the country sharing the gospel and getting to stand on stages.

And share my testimony of what he has done in my life.

When I look up my life, all I can say is that it's a God story.

And it's a miracle that I'm still standing here today.

And I hope that when you hear this song, it's a reminder that your life is a God story.

That was Ann Wilson.

And she is holding steady this week at the same spot as last week.

Here is God story.

I've gone where the hopeless go.

The dead end of a broken road.

And I've learned there's a place so low that you can't see a way out.

Been stuck in a ditch so deep.

Thought it might be the end of me.

But I'm still here and there could only be one way out.

My life is a God story.

God, I tell the world what he's done for me.

Miracles are miracles that only he could do.

I'm free.

Now we're all only one prayer away from a testimony.

There's only one getting all the glory.

My whole life is a God story.

God story.

From beginning to the end.

From who I was to who I am.

I can see his finger prints on every single page.

Now a story I love to tell is a story of the one who brought me back from hell.

But more on to it is well.

And what I can say is my life is a God story.

God, I tell the world what he's done for me.

Miracles are miracles that only he could do.

I'm free.

Now we're all only one prayer away from a testimony.

There's only one getting all the glory.

My whole life is a God story.

God story.

From death to life, from blind to sight.

This is my God story.

From life to found, from then to now.

I'll tell you how.

The glory.

From the proof, the molten proof.

It's a true God story.

They're hard to see, they're changing me.

I could only be a God sorer.

My life is a God story.

God, I tell the world what he's done for me.

Miracles are miracles.

That only he could do.

That we're all only one prayer away from a test of worry

There's only one getting out of glory

My whole life is a God's story

I combine the side, this is mine

God's story can also found

From dancing now, I'll tell you how

God's story can probably prove

From all to new, here's the truth

God's story and heart to see

The change in me could only be

God's story

Number four, Ann Wilson, God's story

20 the Countdown magazine with William Ryan III

Welcome back just in time for the number one song in Christian music

And it just happened three from this next guy who is out on his hits deep tour right now

And you know, you got to get a little creative when you're on the road for those long tours

And this guy, he came up with a way to do a little bowling

With a great fruit and some water bottles on a long rug

Looks like a lot of fun

Here is Toby Mac to tell us about this new number one song this week

Heaven on my mind

I don't know about you but man this world is a tricky place to live

Especially as a believer

I wake up like most mornings

And I open up the Bible and I decide right then and there

I'm going to build my life on the promises of God

And then the day rolls on

And sometimes I don't even mean to

I just accidentally start chasing the things of this world

It feels like a tidal wave coming at me and sometimes

Can't be avoided

But the Bible says, set your mind on things above, not on earthly things

It also tells us to store our treasures in heaven

For where our treasures are, there will our heart be

I want to seek God's kingdom first

I want to invest in the things that have eternal value like love

Kindness and faithfulness

I guess what I'm saying is I want to have heaven on my mind

Number one

I can see the skies open

And windows coming down

My heart's on things above

While keeping two feet on the ground

And all

I know

Ain't no way this place is my home

I got heaven on my mind

I got people waiting by

Close my eyes and I can see

Passing on them floating streets

Got me dreaming of the day

Ever leave we get to stay

Till I see that welcome sign

I ain't even gonna lie

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven

Life ain't bad down here

But I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

Well I found myself daydreaming

Like never before

This joy and pain

Like sun and rain through

Every open door

This life is like a vapor

But we got every day

To live and love

That's always up

It's all

I know

Ain't no way this place

It's my home

I got heaven on my mind

I got people waiting by

Close my eyes and I can see

Passing on them floating streets

Got me dreaming of the day

Ever leave we get to stay

Till I see that welcome sign

I ain't even gonna lie

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven

Life ain't bad down here

But I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

When this world's behind me

And my days are all through

You try and find me

I'll try and find you

When this world's behind me

And we see it's all true

You know where to find me

I know that I'll find you

And heaven

I'll come and find you

And heaven

I got heaven on my mind

I got people waiting by

Close my eyes and I can see

Passing on them floating streets

Got me dreaming of the day

Ever leave we get to stay

Till I see that welcome sign

I ain't even gonna lie

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven

Life ain't bad down here

But I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind

I got heaven on my mind
