Default Suggestions for Christian songs for people who are not saved??

I'm using my facebook and myspace and aim profile as a ministry now, and it's on my heart to find quotes and songs that will reach out to people who don't believe in God (not necessarily worship songs more for people who have already accepted Him, but songs that will make them think and possibly look into Christianity.)

Any suggestions? Matthew West's You Know Where to Find Me is a great one but I need a few others.

Thanks.

I use my facebook the same way


Set Me Free by Casting Crowns.

Everything by Lifehouse (skit.)

I have those among others on mine. If you'd care to add me to facebook, just PM me, then you can see what I have on my page too...

Yes… Set me free is a good one. Here is a link to one called “Reason” on GodTube. Reason

I put both of them on our Church website. www.sonshineshelters.org

Do non-Christian people listen to gospel music? I never did as an unbeliever.

I'd put Mountain of God or Cry out to Jesus by Third Day on there.

POD is a good group to use. They are well known in the mainstream music industry, yet they keep to their Christian roots as close as possible (if that makes any sense). Switchfoot is another Christian group that to an unbeliever doesn't come off as "churchy." On my Myspace, I tend to use Christian rap on my page because their beats are just like that of mainstream rap (I.E, "Gangsta" rap) but stay very close to the Gospel. If you go this route, Lecrae, Trip Lee, FLAME, Da T.R.U.T.H, J-Son and guys from Cross Movement are some good choices. I personally tend to get very positive responses with artists like these...

Skillet is awesome - believer or non.

If it's for unsaved people, then you need songs that tell what Jesus did for them and what God can do for them.

The songs that have helped me when my faith was at its weakest include:

"Lantern in the Snow" by Randy Stonehill
"No Room for Doubt" by The Lost Dogs
"Walls of Doubt" by Terry S. Taylor (Daniel Amos/DA)
"Harder to Believe than Not To" by Steve Taylor
"Answers Don't Come Easy" by Leslie Phillips (though ironic considering her break with fundamentalism)

Perhaps these songs are more orientend to the doubting Chrsitian, but perhaps they might speak to one who is searching.

(And yes, these are "older" songs...I'm older, too )
