I'm mostly a hardrock/metal fan and I don't listen to CCMish music...but Steve Camp is excellent. If all CCM artists were as passionate as Camp, I'd listen to more of it.
The best thing is, you can download his music for free on his website!
I highly suggest "Cornerstone" from the Abandoned to God album, as well as the title track.

Oh thankyou-thankyou-thankyou!!!! I've been hoarding Camp CDs for a while, whenever I get the rare opportunity to buy or copy (ahem) one... But there they are for the taking... Wow.

Steve Camp is my favorite musician and blogger. He is the reason I searched for a Reformed Baptist Church in my local area. His passionate stand for truth is inspiring. I'm patiently awaiting his follow up to the stunning Desiring God CD.
There is a fantastic website that has dedicated to Steve Camp that includes song lyrics, discography, interviews and more. Check it out.
Also here is a sermon Steve Camp recently preached, "The Heart of the Gospel."
Finally, read the lyrics to a Camp Classic in light of today's seeker sensitive, purpose driven, easy believism, mega-church mess. They border on being prophetic.
Playing Marbles with Diamonds (1988!)
Waking up to a very different world
We got mud on our flag before it's even been unfurled
Our heroes are falling and a leader is hard to find
Oh the clock is, running out
But we're casting our pearls before swine
There's a whole lot more than preaching to the choir,
Kneeling at the altar, and and payin' our tithes
We've been treating God like He's happiness for hire
We've been playing marbles, with diamonds!
Isn't it a shame how His name gets thrown around
We pat God on the back like a buddy from out of town
We thank the "man upstairs"
For the things people praise us for,
Ah, We give God the glory, but we're happy to take the award!
There's a whole lot more than raising lots of money
Buildin' our churches, and spreading our fame
Faith is just the dice that you roll to get lucky
We've been playing marbles with diamonds!
BRIDGE:
There are precious things of God
We must guard them with our lives
Like an unborn baby's dreams
Like a husband loves a wife
May the hope of His returning,
May it purify our faith
As we hold on to His holy word
May the chaff be blown away!
Can we ever live up to the things that we say we believe?
'Cause the world is watching, looking for some honesty
We've been riding down a freeway instead of on a narrow road
We've turned, the passion for the lost
Into a business of saving souls!
