Christian High School Graduation Song

The Scotsman's Picks

Do you remember your favorite songs form the year you graduated high school? If not you can always do a search on Google for the top music types of the year you graduated. I am sure that you will run across something that catches your attention and reminds you of sons played during your graduation, or at the celebrations after the ceremony.

Over the past few years, there has been a lot of negativity surrounding young folks talking about and/or sharing their faith in Christ from the stage or lectern. This is an unfortunate event considering that our country was founded on Christian principles and that we still hold to the right to free speech in our Constitution. But, instead of turning this into a political and/or cultural issue, let's look at some of the top Christian songs of 2008, especially the ones that appeal to the younger generation graduating this year.

The 39^th annual GMA Dove awards was held in February 2008 and awards were given out for:

Song of the Year - Some of them included:

East to West - Casting Crowns

Amazing Grace - Chris Tomlin

Bring the Rain- Mercy Me

As I serve with many of the young people (Middle and High School) at our local church I know what the young folks would want to hear at their Christian graduation ceremonies, and they are as follows:

Casting Crowns - East to West

Toby Mac - Made to Love

Third Day - Show me Your Glory

Jeremy Camp - I Still Believe

Avalon - Testify To Love

Daniel Doss Band - Great God

Cadia - This One's for the Girls

So...there are the Scotsman's picks on the most popular Christian songs to be requested for high school graduations this year.

I am confident you will be inspired and moved by their music!
