Sometimes I like to go to Worshiptogether.com to listen to new songs. I discovered a wonderful song on the site by the group Worship Central titled "Set Apart". This is a simple but power song that dwells on the theme that we as Christians are called to live different lives. We are called to live by the values of the Kingdom of God.
Set Apart
Song Writers: Ben Cantelon, Tim Hughes, Luke Hellebronth, and Nick Herbert
Scripture References:
Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God—
Romans 12
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Oceans - Stepping Into the Unknown
Oceans "Where Feet May Fail" is a song about Peter and how he stepped into the water with faith. Oceans is a song about us stepping into the unknown and having faith that Jesus will be with us.
Scripture Reference: Matthew 14:22-33
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. It’s a ghost, they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid. Lord, if it’s you, Peter replied, tell me to come to you on the water. Come, he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, Lord, save me! Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. You of little faith, he said, why did you doubt? And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

Rooftops
I began listening to Jesus Culture a few years ago. One of their songs that I really enjoy is "Rooftops". Recently one of our band members picked this song to present during worship services.
I discovered the song's original name is "From the Rooftops" and the song writers are listed as Ben Williams, Jonathan Berlin, and Lindsey Sweat; these guys are part of the worship team at Eleven22 Church out of Jacksonville FL. This song is part of Eleven22 CD release Fall On Your Altar which was recorded live during a Thursday night worship event. Fall On Your Altar was released in Spring, 2010.
The Eleven22 website lists some information on their music which includes their version of Rooftops.

The song "It Is Finished" was written by Dustin Kensrue. He is the former lead singer of the band Thrice. Formerly Kensrue was the Director of Worship at Mars Hill Church in Seattle and the Worship Pastor at the Mars Hill Bellevue Campus. I could not find much on the background of the song, but the following is an excerpt from a Reel Gospel interview with Dustin Kensrue.
