I finally had the opportunity to see Third at the Big Ticket Festival in Gaylord, Michigan last month. Seeing a band you admire and is so on fire for Christ is so uplifting! I realized that I knew nearly every song they performed and I was surprised because so many of their songs on mainstream Christian radio stations are from years ago! Here are 12 awesome songs by Third Day!
12. “Kicking and Screaming” from the album Miracle
Favorite Lyrics
I would go anywhere
As long as you are there
You know I'd do anything
As long as you're with me
I would fight for you
If you want me too
I will not lie to you
Give my my life for you
11. “Children of God” from the album Move
Favorite Lyrics
Children of God, sing your song and rejoice
For the love that He has given us all
Children of God, by the blood of His Son
We have been redeemed and we can be called
Children of God
Children of God
10. “Lift Up Your Face” from the album Move
Favorite Lyrics
Oh yeah...
Do you hear Him calling?
Can you hear Him calling?
He's calling out your name
He's calling out your name
Lift up your face, lift up your face
Salvation is calling, salvation is calling
9. “I’ve Always Loved You” from the album Time
Favorite Lyrics
Don't you know I've always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn away
I'll tell you still
Don't you know I've always loved you
And I always will
8. “You Are So Good to Me” from the album Offerings II: All I Have to Give
Favorite Lyrics
You are my strong melody
You are my dancing rhythm
You are my perfect rhyme
And I want to sing forever
7. “Your Love Oh Lord” from the album Chronology, Vol. 1 (1996 – 2000)
Favorite Lyrics (These are all the lyrics of the song)
Your love, oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the sky
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide
I will lift my voice
To worship You, my King
I will find my strength
In the shadow of your wings
6. “God of Wonders” from the album Offerings II: All I Have to Give
Favorite Lyrics
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are Holy, Holy
The universe declares your Majesty
And you are holy holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
5. “Your Love Is Like a River” from the album Miracle
Favorite Lyrics
When I am tired and so afraid
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
When darkness comes and my vision fades
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
And it's always burning and stirring my soul
To know You and love You much more
It never stops or ever fades
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
4. “Born Again” from the album Revelation
Favorite Lyrics
It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
For the very first time
It feels like I'm breathing
It feels like I'm moving
For the very first time
For the very first time
3. “Trust In Jesus” from the album Move
Favorite Lyrics
One of these days we all will stand in judgment for
Every single word that we have spoken
One of these days we all will stand before the Lord
Give a reason for everything we've done
And what I've done is
2. “Cry Out to Jesus” from the album Wherever You Are
Favorite Lyrics
There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus
1. “I Need a Miracle” from the album Miracle
Favorite Lyrics
Well no matter who you are and no matter what you've done
There will come a time when you can't make it on your own
And in your hour of desperation
Know you're not the only one
Prayin', "lord above, I need a miracle
I need a miracle"

I am a Christian writer and editor that lives in northern Michigan and thoroughly enjoy music, movies, TV shows, books and other entertainment with a Christian focus. My favorite song is "Oceans" by Hillsong United because it reminds me that has big plans for me and everyone else who puts their trust in Him. There are many movies that have impacted my life, but a few include God's Not Dead, The Shunning and Letters to God. I also write for www.faithandentertainment.com and love connecting with readers, so please don't hesitate to contact me! When I'm not writing I enjoy watching movies and laughing with my busy toddler and husband.
