Top 10 Best Christian Rock Songs

Christian rock walks that line like a tightrope artist with a six-string, bringing the grit, the riffs, and the truth all in one go. It's loud, it's honest, and it's straight-up powerful.

These are the tracks that get your blood pumping and your heart pointing upward, the kind you scream in your car and somehow end up in prayer halfway through the second chorus.

This list is for the songs that bring the fire. The ones that don't water anything down. Vote for the ones that kept you going during the worst nights, the ones you threw on repeat during a workout or a worship set, and the ones that somehow managed to turn a three-minute rock anthem into a spiritual uppercut.

The Top Ten

Whispers in the Dark - Skillet

Yes! I am glad I am not the only one who thinks that. I love Skillet. Even though I agree with this list, my list would be a little different.
1. Whispers in the Dark
2. All Around Me - Flyleaf
3. Monster - Skillet
4. Strong Tower - Kutless
5. My Obsession - Skillet
6. Saturn - Skillet
7. I'm So Sick - Flyleaf
Whispers in the Dark really is an amazing song. It not only brings out the Christianity in them but is also catchy with amazing lyrics and nice guitar and drum parts. There is no other song like Whispers in the Dark. It deserves to be number one. I can't think of another song to be number one.

This song should be at 1! Not even 2! Here's what makes the song so great:
The tune
John's singing
Ben's solo
The meaning
And it's Skillet as well! Skillet should always be #1!
Breathe Into Me - Red

I love this song. When they started playing it at their concert, I just about cried for joy, and I do not normally cry over anything (unless Skillet is playing "Lucy"). I love the message behind this song. It reminds me that I need God and is the song of my life.

This is one of the best Christian songs, period. It is the epitome of our relationship with God when we've gone off the edge and everything is falling apart. That is when we realize we need God to "breathe His life" into us. This deserves to be number one.

I mean, this song has everything: emotion, best vocals, everything. I think Rebirthing is better than Whispers in the Dark.
Awake & Alive - Skillet

Not only is the message awesome, so is the solo! Go Ben!
Rebirthing - Skillet

I love this song! It's amazing, and every time I listen to it, it gives me goosebumps and I feel absolutely amazing inside! I hope other people become as passionate about this song as I am! I love you, God! I am a true believer and I will never leave your side, AMEN!

This has got to be the perfect rock song. It's so powerful and so meaningful that every time I listen to it I literally have an orgasm of happiness.

I can feel the song! It's so meaningful!
Monster - Skillet

10? No way! This song deserves a place in the top three for sure! Monster is one of the best Christian rock songs I have ever heard! I think this list is really unfair if this song remains in tenth place!

26! 26! Are you serious? It is not underrated but it is extremely/highly underrated! It should either be first or at least come somewhere in the top 10! Just not fair!

Come on! Absolutely one of the most awesome songs I have ever, EVER heard! And probably my favorite Christian rock song ever! At least it is in the top ten, though!
Higher - P.O.D.

This is the best song ever by the best band ever, Christian or not. And by the way, whoever says P.O.D. isn't Christian has no idea what they are talking about.
Feed the Machine - Red

It's only 26 because it's new. It will go up. This is one of Christian rock's most amazing songs to date. Red is just all around awesome. The rest of their album Until We Have Faces is great too.

Excellent song, my favorite RED song.
Jesus Freak - DC Talk

They helped propel Christian rock into the mainstream. They really got the ball rolling for the others.

I think Jesus Freak should be ranked higher on the list. It's what got Christian rock started.

My ringtone always garners attention. What will people say...
Not Gonna Die - Skillet

"This is how it feels when you take your life back! This is how it feels when YOU FIGHT BACK!"
Already Over - Red

So many good choices. There's not a song on here I don't like, but this has to be my favorite if I had to pick.

The Newcomers

?
The Pestilence that Walketh in Darkness - Cryptopsy

Come on. Tech death with Bible verses for lyrics. What can beat this?
?
Will You Save Me? - The Birdsongs

The Contenders

Rise - Skillet

Of the new album, the third lead single. I would say it's in the top five for Skillet, for sure. The lyrics here are more profound than anything found on Awake. There are also some electronic flourishes that really add life to the song, reminding me of older albums like Invincible and Alien Youth.

Why is this down here? It's the best rock song I have ever heard. It's very catchy with the melody and all. I know it's not their best song, but it's supposed to be higher.

This new single should be first. It's so catchy and breathtaking. Anyway, I listened to POD - Higher and it sucks. It should be at the bottom.
Fully Alive - Flyleaf

Aw man, I sorta-kinda-ish grew up with this song, especially the band, in junior high/high school service at church. Awesome song! Love it!

This song is flat-out legit. There's just so much emotion in it!
Move - Thousand Foot Krutch
Boom - P.O.D.
Death of Me - Red

This song is musical genius! This should be top 15, I'd say!
Dare You to Move - Switchfoot

DYTM is one of the best songs ever. It's the song for which Switchfoot is known. This song changed my soul, gave me energy when I gave up, and soothes me when I am tired. My all-time favorite song.

This is such a good song. Unfortunately, it's the reason most people don't know that Switchfoot is a Christian band.

Obviously should be in the top 10. Over 8 million plays on Spotify. Inspired a lot of Christian youth to not be shy about their faith.
No Plan B - Manafest

More of a rap song than a rock song, but still a very good song. Manafest has a pretty good voice.
Take the Bullets Away - We As Human

This and Zombie are the best songs on this album, which is probably the best album since Comatose!

Such a deep and meaningful song! Amazing!
Not Alone - Red
War of Change - Thousand Foot Krutch
Comatose - Skillet

This has got to be the best Christian rock song of all time. I'd put it among the top five. Skillet should just be number one.

Come on, guys! If you all listen to this beautiful song, it will automatically go to No. 1.
Outlaws - Disciple

This is a super-duper awesome song. This song makes you fly. I mean, it's so, so good and fast-paced that you just can't stop listening to it. Disciple's 'After the World' is good too! And Switchfoot's songs should also be higher!
Be My Escape - Relient K

This should be number one because Relient K is the best Christian band ever, and this is their best song. The Show by Hawk Nelson should be on this list and should be number two. Breathe Into Me should definitely NOT be number four on this list because Red is an okay band and that's not even their best song. Pressing On by Relient K should be on this list. Friend Like That by Hawk Nelson should be on this list. And Get Back Up by tobyMac should be on this list.

I want to learn how to play this on the piano. Badly.

Definitely should be in the top 20 at least. Great combination of rock and God.
The Last Night - Skillet
Savior - Skillet
