3) Britt Nicole – Set the World on Fire
Christian singer-songwriter and pop-artist Britt Nicole expresses her desire to God to make a positive difference in the world. Acknowledging that truly achieving her dream of setting “the world on fire” is impossible without the assistance of the Almighty, Nicole sings in her song, “I am weak but…You are strong enough to take my dreams, come and give them wings. Lord with You, there’s nothing I can not do.”

4) for King & Country – The Proof of Your Love
Australian born pop-duo for King & Country testify in their song “The Proof of Your Love” that everything we do in our lives is worth nothing if we don’t do it with a spirit of love. Regarding their passion for creating Christian-inspired music, they share, “When you merge the strength of music with the heart, hope, and passion of the Gospel… it has the ultimate power not only to change someone’s day, but to impact them for eternity. This is why we write music and sing songs – we hope that people will be moved, encouraged, and stirred to live a life for Someone greater than themselves.”

5) Hawk Nelson – Words
Canadian-based Christian rock band Hawk Nelson sings about the thing that makes the Gospel so inspirational: the words. There’s a special connection between spiritual empowerment and reading the Creative Word, as Hawk Nelson shares, “Words can build you up, words can break you down, start a fire in your heart, or put it out.” And what’s the best way for people to use words? To glorify God. As the song “Words” says, “Let my words be life, let my words be truth, I don’t wanna say a word unless it points the world back to You.”
