A Christmas Album is the seventh album and first Christmas album by Christian music singer Amy Grant. The album was recorded in nine studios in mid-1983 and was released later that same year.

It was issued on the heels of Grant's immensely successful 1982 LP Age to Age. Primarily for the audiences she attracted with Age to Age, A Christmas Album features well-known sacred and secular standards alongside original songs, and tracks from this album continue to receive airplay to this day during the holiday season on both secular and Christian radio stations. Although not as successful as Age to Age, A Christmas Album still peaked in the Top Ten of the Christian chart and spawned a Top 20 Christian radio single in "Emmanuel." The album would eventually be certified gold in 1985, and platinum in 1989. A Christmas Album was listed at No. 40 in the 2001 book, CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music. In 2016, Grant re-recorded the song "Tennessee Christmas" as the title track of a new Christmas album. The song was released as a single from the album and charted at No. 50 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart in December, 2016. Read more...

My Father's Eyes is the second studio album by then-teenage Christian singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 1979 on Myrrh Records. My Father's Eyes was a turning point in Grant's career. It gave her first Christian number-one hit in the title track, as well as the Top Ten Christian hit "Faith Walkin' People." The album would be certified gold in 1987 and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary.

In 2007, like many other albums by Grant, My Father's Eyes was reissued by Sparrow Records, her current label. Read more...

American singer-songwriter Amy Grant made her recording debut as a teenager and by the 1980s had gained fame in Christian music thanks to the songs "Father's Eyes", "El Shaddai", and "Angels". In 1986, she had her first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 in a duet with Peter Cetera, "The Next Time I Fall". Grant was becoming more famous in the world of pop with such albums as Unguarded and Lead Me On. However, it wasn't until her eighth studio album Heart in Motion that Grant made a breakthrough into mainstream music. Heart in Motion produced the hit singles "Baby Baby", "Every Heartbeat", "That's What Love Is For" and "Good for Me", all of which made it into the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, with the first two reaching No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. It remains Grant's most commercially successful album to date, having been certified five-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. A Christmas album, Home for Christmas, was released shortly afterwards, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200, her highest album entry to date. Grant went on to release the albums House of Love and Behind the Eyes in the mid-nineties. Her first full-length studio album of all-new material since 2003, How Mercy Looks from Here, was released on May 14, 2013.

Her recordings are estimated to have sold more than 30 million units worldwide, which makes her one of the most successful Christian recording artists.

The discography consists of fourteen studio albums, one extended play, three live albums, three Christmas albums, four compilation albums, six video albums and twenty-four music videos, and ninety-six singles. Read more...

"Faithless Heart" is a 1988 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the sixth and final single from Grant's very successful Lead Me On album. Unlike some of Grant's previous singles, this song made a sales and airplay impact on Christian radio but not on pop or "mainstream" radio.

"Faithless Heart" is a downtempo song that caused eyebrows to raise when it was released in the late 1980s. The music adopts a haunting sound with Hammond organ music, whispering, and ominous background vocals. The very personal lyrics detail Grant's doubts about her marriage with then-husband Gary Chapman. In the song, she discusses her temptation to walk out on her husband but her defiant choice to resist temptation and "choose the man that waits for me with a heart that's true". Such messages of doubt had been a central theme of Grant's music up to the point and since, but the lyrics that some perceived as hinting at divorce or adultery made some in the Christian community uneasy. Nevertheless, the song was successful on Christian radio.

The song has received widespread critical praise and is today often heralded as a brave masterpiece. In a 2002 Lifetime documentary on Grant's career, the artist's managers singled out "Faithless Heart" as a classic song that made them very proud of Grant's career, despite the controversy they faced when the song released to radio. Read more...

"Takes a Little Time" was a maxi-single released in 1997 (see 1997 in music) to promote Amy Grant's album Behind the Eyes, which was also released that year. "Takes a Little Time" included two songs from Behind the Eyes, as well as a new version of Grant's 1982 Christian radio hit, "El Shaddai". The maxi-single was also an enhanced CD (ECD), meaning it had a video that consumers could watch when they put it in their home computer. The ECD portion of the CD contained a live acoustic version of the song After the Fire, which Grant later released on her 2003 album Simple Things; Grant stated on Oprah that she had written the song for her mother. Read more...

Simple Things is the twelfth studio album by Christian music and pop music singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 2003.

Grant's first secular album (while containing Christian themes) since 1997's Behind the Eyes, Simple Things did not see the mainstream success similar to Grant's albums from the 1990s. While the album topped Billboard's Christian album chart and the title track became a Top Ten Christian single, Simple Things peaked just outside the Top 20 on the Billboard 200, at No. 23. The title track peaked at the same position on the adult contemporary chart. Read more...

"That's What Love Is For" is a 1991 Billboard Adult Contemporary chart #1 hit single and a Billboard Hot 100 top 10 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was the third pop single off her 5x platinum selling album Heart in Motion and the only one from the album to be released both to secular and Christian radio. It was the second Christian radio single.

In the United States the song was #1 for 3 weeks on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, spending 13 weeks in the Top 10 and 32 weeks on the chart overall. It peaked at #7 on the Hot 100 where it spent 4 weeks in the Top 10, and also reached #4 on the R&R CHR Chart.

In the United Kingdom, the single peaked at #60 on the Official UK Chart. Read more...

'Behind the Eyes is the tenth studio album, and fifteenth album by Christian music and pop music singer Amy Grant, released in 1997.

Issued near the end of Grant's marriage to Christian singer-songwriter Gary Chapman, many of the songs on Behind the Eyes reflect Grant's struggles in her marriage and all relate to a theme of optimism. Upon its release, it went to No. 2 on Billboards Christian albums chart and No. 8 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, the first single from the album, "Takes a Little Time", was a Top Five Adult Contemporary hit and a Top Thirty pop chart single. "Like I Love You" and "I Will Be Your Friend" also reached the Adult Contemporary chart, at No. 10 and No. 27, respectively. The CD was also released in a limited two-CD version (with the second CD titled, More Music From Behind the Eyes).

In 2007, Behind the Eyes was reissued and digitally remastered by Grant's new record label, EMI/Sparrow Records, along with 13 other Amy Grant albums. The remastered edition is labeled with a "Digitally Remastered" logo in the 'gutter' on the CD front. Because of Grant's deal with her previous label, Word Records, the remastered editions of Behind the Eyes and A Christmas to Remember were not sold in Christian Music retailers such as Family Christian Stores or Lifeway Christian Resources until 2009. Until that time, Word Records continued to distribute those titles to Christian retailers in the original, non-remastered editions while EMI distributed the remastered editions to most major retailers. The 12 remaining remastered editions are distributed by EMI to all US retailers, both Christian and secular. Read more...

Heart in Motion is the eighth studio album, and twelfth album by Christian pop singer Amy Grant, released on March 5, 1991. The album features Grant's biggest worldwide hit, "Baby Baby" and was certified 5× platinum in the United States, selling over five million copies. Read more...

Ageless Medley was a 1983 (see 1983 in music) EP released by Amy Grant's record label, Myrrh Records. It was originally released as a double-sided 7 inch vinyl record and audio cassette tape EP single. Even though it was designed as purely a promotional tool, it reached the Top Ten of the Christian radio charts, and won the 1984 Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Female. It was later featured on the CD and cassette releases of Grant's 1986 compilation album The Collection.

The title is a reference to Grant's 1982 album Age to Age, which is in turn a reference to a line in the lyrics of the song "El Shaddai". Read more...

"Grown-Up Christmas List" (sometimes titled "My Grown-Up Christmas List") is a Christmas song composed by David Foster (music) and Linda Thompson-Jenner (lyrics). It was originally recorded by Foster, with Natalie Cole on vocals, for his 1990 non-holiday album River of Love. Though it was also released as a single, the song was not a hit upon its first appearance. In 1992, Amy Grant recorded a version for her second Christmas album, Home for Christmas. Grant's version featured an additional verse that Grant penned herself. Her record label at the time, A&M Records, promoted the song as the second single from the album, and it received substantial radio airplay.

In 2003, original American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson performed "Grown-Up Christmas List" on the show's Christmas special, and the song was released on the album American Idol: Great Holiday Classics, which resulted in renewed airplay of the song during the holiday season that year. Read more...

"Find a Way" is a 1985 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the first single from her Unguarded album. Also, "Find a Way" was Grant's first major single release, as it was issued in secular outlets by A&M Records along with the album. Although the single was released in both the United States and the United Kingdom with "It's Not a Song" as a B-side, it only charted in America.

"Find a Way" is an uptempo, inspirational song in which Grant encourages her listener, an "angry young woman", to persevere and stay optimistic despite life's trials, because "love will surely find a way." Read more...

Home for Christmas is the 13th album by Christian music and pop music singer Amy Grant, released in 1992. It is Grant's second holiday album, the first being 1983's A Christmas Album. Read more...

"Say Once More" is a 1988 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the fifth single from Grant's Lead Me On album. Unlike some of Grant's previous singles, this song made an impact on Christian radio but not on pop or "mainstream" radio.

"Say Once More" is a downtempo love ballad. Unlike the other five singles from Lead Me On, "Say Once More" does not feature any explicitly Christian lyrics, though it performed well on Christian radio and can arguably be read either as a secular love song or as a love letter to God.

The song should not be confused with another Amy Grant song of the same name. Grant recorded a very different-sounding song with different lyrics, also titled "Say Once More", for her 1980 album, Never Alone. Read more...

The Animals' Christmas is the sixth solo studio album and the first Christmas album by vocalist Art Garfunkel, released in December 1985 by Columbia Records. The album was written by Jimmy Webb and features vocals by Garfunkel, Amy Grant, and Wimbledon King's College Choir. The Animals' Christmas tells the story of the Nativity of Jesus from the perspective of the animals present. The album received positive reviews, with one writer calling it "one of the best Christmas albums of the '80s." Read more...

"Say You'll Be Mine" is a 1994 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the second single from the House of Love album in the United Kingdom. However, unlike the previous singles from House of Love, "Say You'll Be Mine" was not released in the United States. On her 2004 DVD release, Greatest Videos 1986-2004, Grant revealed that "Say You'll Be Mine" was planned as a U.S. single but the label pulled its release at the last minute. It performed better in the UK than its three predecessors, reaching #41. Read more...

The book features song lyrics, memoirs, original poetry, pictures, and a partial index of Grant's career achievements.

Somewhere Down the Road is the fourteenth studio album by Christian music and pop music singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 2010. It is a unique album featuring six brand new songs, two previously unreleased songs, a new recording of the classic 1982 song "Arms of Love", and rounded out with three of Grant's previously released story-songs.

The album title is taken from the title track, "Somewhere Down the Road", also a promotional single from Grant's 1997 album Behind the Eyes. The song was originally also featured on the first and only commercial single from the Behind the Eyes album, "Takes a Little Time". The painting featured on the cover of the album includes a painting by Grant, with the inscription Somewhere Down the Road. Grant gave the original painting as gift to her friend and publicist Jennifer Cooke.

Most of the new songs on the album were recorded in the new studio that Grant and her husband Vince Gill recently had built into their home. One of the songs on the album, "Overnight", is a duet recorded with Sarah Chapman, Grant's daughter. Grant wrote "Unafraid" about her mother. Read more...

Simple Things is the twelfth studio album by Christian music and pop music singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 2003.

Grant's first secular album (while containing Christian themes) since 1997's Behind the Eyes, Simple Things did not see the mainstream success similar to Grant's albums from the 1990s. While the album topped Billboard's Christian album chart and the title track became a Top Ten Christian single, Simple Things peaked just outside the Top 20 on the Billboard 200, at No. 23. The title track peaked at the same position on the adult contemporary chart. Read more...

Rock of Ages... Hymns and Faith is the thirteenth studio album by singer Amy Grant. It is the follow-up to her 2002 release Legacy... Hymns and Faith. Rock of Ages is Amy Grant's 11th Christian chart-topping album. Read more...

"El Shaddai" (sometimes styled "El-Shaddai") is a Contemporary Christian music song. It was written by Michael Card and John Thompson, using direct quotes from scripture as their inspiration, and recorded by Michael Card on his 1981 debut album, Legacy. However, it is more commonly associated with the singer Amy Grant, who recorded it on her 1982 platinum album Age to Age.

The title comes from a Judaic name of God, usually translated as "God Almighty" (see El Shaddai). Approximately half the lyrics of the chorus are in the Hebrew language, which is rather unusual for a Contemporary Christian song. The recording was in the style of a performance ballad, but the song was subsequently published in some hymnbooks and is occasionally sung congregationally.

The song was a hit single for Grant, reaching the top of the Billboard Christian chart. "El Shaddai" won "Song of the Year" and Card won "Songwriter of the Year" at the 1983 GMA Dove Awards. It was also named one of the "Songs of the Century" by the RIAA in 2001. Read more...

"Lead Me On" is a 1988 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the second single from the Lead Me On album. Read more...

Never Alone is the third studio album by Christian singer Amy Grant, released in 1980 through Myrrh Records.

By this point in her life, Amy had entered her second year at Furman University and developed a budding relationship with studio songwriter Gary Chapman. The three songs from the album that they co-wrote obscurely describe their on-again, off-again relationship. Although Never Alone was not as popular as its predecessor, the 1979 album My Father's Eyes, it still managed to score a Top Ten Christian hit in "Look What Has Happened to Me". Read more...

"1974 (We Were Young)" is a 1988 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the third single from her album, Lead Me On. Read more...

"Let the Season Take Wing" is a 1992 Christmas music single by Christian music/Pop music singer-songwriter Amy Grant. The single was released only on cassette tape and was sold exclusively in Target stores during the 1992 Christmas season. The single was available free with any purchase of Grant's 1992 Home for Christmas album.

The song is similar in style and sound to the other original compositions on Home for Christmas and is considered by some to be a "thirteenth track" of sorts for that album. The album artwork for the single appears to be from the same photo session as that for the Christmas album. Though the song was released as a single, A&M Records did not turn much attention to promoting the song, as it was a Target exclusive. Target promoted the song instead. This song was written by Robert E. Irving & Kevin Quinn.

Grant worked as a spokesperson for Target on various promotional campaigns and charity projects during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. She frequently contributes to the Target House charity. Grant's involvement with Target met some controversy when some in her Christian music fan base disapproved of Target's association with Planned Parenthood. Read more...

How Mercy Looks from Here is the fifteenth studio album from contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter and recording artist Amy Grant. The album was released by EMI CMG and Sparrow Records on May 14, 2013. The album is produced by Marshall Altman, marking his first collaboration with Grant. The first single released in support of the album is "Don't Try So Hard", a faith-based ballad featuring James Taylor singing harmonized background accompaniment. Read more...

Amy Grant is the eponymous debut studio album by then-teenage Christian singer Amy Grant, released in 1977 on Myrrh Records. Three songs from the album made Top Ten Christian radio airplay: "Old Man's Rubble", "Beautiful Music", and "What a Difference You've Made". The latter track was made more famous by country singer Ronnie Milsap, as "What a Difference You've Made in My Life".

Contemporary Christian music was coming out of its infancy, but at first, albums made by early Contemporary Christian music artists did not have enough copies to meet the growing demands in the primary and secondary markets. Grant made an effort to make Contemporary Christian music a dream come true by making her first album. She was the first person to do it successfully and carefully. When it was released, it sold well, with 50,000 copies at stake. It was reissued in 1980, this time it became a bestseller, with an estimated hundreds and thousands of copies sold. Thus, Grant's Christian music career begins with a successful effort and her dream becoming a true fact. Read more...

Greatest Hits 1986–2004 is a compilation album by pop singer Amy Grant, released in 2004. It was the first compilation of Amy Grant's music to be released since The Collection in 1986. It includes two previously unreleased songs: "The Water" and "Come Be With Me" and pressings of the CD on A&M Records contain a bonus CD of remixes and radio edits as mentioned below. Read more...

Greatest Hits is a compilation album by contemporary Christian music-pop singer Amy Grant, released on October 2, 2007 (see 2007 in music). It was released by EMI CMG, Grant's new record label, to mark the start of her contract with them. It does not contain new songs, but the record label did remaster all of her songs. It is her latest career-spanning collection (following the 1986 compilation The Collection), and thus overlaps several tracks with both The Collection and Greatest Hits 1986–2004. As with The Collection, the songs are arranged in reverse chronological order.

There is a special edition of the album that contains a bonus DVD as well.

Notably missing from the collection are several of Grant's hits, including the early CCM classic "All I Ever Have to Be", "Everywhere I Go", "Wise Up", "The Next Time I Fall" (a duet with Peter Cetera), and her cover version of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi". Read more...

House of Love is the ninth studio album, and fourteenth album by singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 1994.

House of Love was Amy's follow-up to her quintuple-platinum 1991 release Heart in Motion. Although House of Love sold less than half of what its predecessor sold, it similarly combines pop music with Christian values. "Lucky One" was the album's biggest hit at No. 18 Pop and No. 2 Adult Contemporary in the U.S., followed by the title song and a remake of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi". "Say You'll Be Mine" also was a UK Top 50 hit. When it was released in 1994, House of Love was the biggest initial release in Christian music history, shipping almost a half million copies on its first day alone.

Copies of this album sold in Europe, Australia, and Japan feature the additional track "Politics of Kissing". Some of the album's other tracks garnered more notice later on when covered by other artists. "The Power" (written by Tommy Sims and Judson Spence) is featured on Cher's 1998 album Believe, and Vanessa L. Williams had an AC hit with her version of "Oh How the Years Go By". Read more...

Home for Christmas is the 13th album by Christian music and pop music singer Amy Grant, released in 1992. It is Grant's second holiday album, the first being 1983's A Christmas Album. Read more...

It features two hard-to-find Christmas songs: "Merry Christmas Darling", a cover of the Carpenters song, which was only available on the Target store version of A Christmas to Remember, and "Child of God", which appears on the various-artists compilation album One Silent Night (2000). A different version of "Child of God" appeared on a limited-edition Christmas maxi-single in 1999 released to promote A Christmas to Remember. Read more...

Unguarded is the sixth studio album, and ninth album by Christian music singer Amy Grant, released in 1985 on A&M Records. It is Grant's first album released by A&M.

When Unguarded was released in 1985, Amy Grant was probably the most popular star in contemporary Christian music, recording songs with religious lyrics in the pop/rock style of the day. With this album, however, the religious content of the lyrics was scaled back as compared with her two previous regular studio albums, Age to Age and Straight Ahead. The album track "I Love You" was Grant's first secular love song from her own pen. Despite this, the album's lead-off single, "Find a Way", was a number one hit on the Christian radio charts. Four other singles from the album were also Top Ten Christian radio hits.

The aggressive mainstream style of the songs on Unguarded, combined with a heavy promotional campaign on the part of the album's distributor in secular outlets, A&M Records, helped three of its singles reach the mainstream charts. "Find a Way" was a Top Ten hit on the Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, while "Everywhere I Go" was a Top Thirty AC single and "Wise Up" was a minor charting single on the Hot 100. Unguarded would be certified gold in September 1985, and platinum in June 1986. Read more...

The Collection is the tenth album by Christian music singer Amy Grant, released in 1986 (see 1986 in music).

The Collection was the first compilation of Amy Grant's music to be released, and it was issued after her crossover success in 1985 with the album Unguarded. The Collection spanned Grant's first decade in music, and featured the new songs "Stay for Awhile" and "Love Can Do", the former of which was a Top Twenty Adult Contemporary hit in the United States. Read more...

Legacy... Hymns and Faith is the eleventh studio album by Christian singer and songwriter Amy Grant. It was her first overtly religious album since Lead Me On in 1988, and consists primarily of well-known hymns with a few original songs. Early pressings of the CD are in "double disc" format containing a music CD and a bonus DVD with a behind the scenes documentary in the studio recording the album. Read more...

"Sharayah" is a 1985 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the fourth and final single from her Unguarded album. The song did not achieve the mainstream success that the previous Unguarded singles had seen but still emerged as a major hit on Christian radio.

"Sharayah" is an uptempo, rock-styled inspirational song that features heavy use of the synthesizer and electric guitar. In the song, Grant addresses a close friend named Sharayah, a presumably fictional character who is experiencing a crisis of faith. Grant implores her friend to find salvation in God. However, the lyrics do not specifically mention God or Jesus. Read more...

"Wise Up" is a 1985 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the third single from her Unguarded album. The song reached The Billboard 100, as well as the Adult Contemporary and Christian music charts in the United States.

"Wise Up" is an uptempo, inspirational song with a rock sound, featuring heavy percussion and guitars. The song provides the Unguarded album with its title in the lyric "better use your head to guard your heart". That lyric essentially summarizes the song's central theme. Read more...

In Concert Volume Two is the fifth album by Christian singer Amy Grant, released in 1981.

In Concert Volume Two was the second album of a double live set, the other being In Concert, which was released earlier that year. Although the two should have been issued as a double album, budget problems forced the two to be released separately. In Concert Volume Two featured four new songs: "I'm Gonna Fly" (which became a Top Ten Christian radio hit), "You Gave Me Love" (a cover of the BJ Thomas song), "Fill Me With Your Love", and "Nobody Loves Me Like You" with DeGarmo & Key (originally on their 1980 album This Ain't Hollywood).

In 2007, In Concert Volume Two was reissued and digitally remastered by Grant's new record label, EMI/Sparrow Records. The remastered edition is labeled with a "Digitally Remastered" logo in the 'gutter' on the CD front. Read more...

Vincent Grant Gill (born April 12, 1957) is an American country singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He has achieved commercial success and fame both as frontman to the country rock band Pure Prairie League in the 1970s and as a solo artist beginning in 1983, where his talents as a vocalist and musician have placed him in high demand as a guest vocalist and a duet partner.

He has recorded more than 20 studio albums, charted over 40 singles on the U.S. Billboard charts as Hot Country Songs, and has sold more than 26 million albums. He has been honored by the Country Music Association with 18 CMA Awards, including two Entertainer of the Year awards and five Male Vocalist Awards. As of 2017, Gill has also earned 21 Grammy Awards, more than any other male country music artist. In 2007 he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. On February 4, 2016 Gill was inducted into the Guitar Center Rock Walk by Joe Walsh of the Eagles. In 2017, Vince Gill and Deacon Frey were hired by the Eagles in place of the late Glenn Frey.

Gill has been married to singer Amy Grant since March 2000. Read more...

"Good for Me" is a 1992 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the sixth single from the Heart In Motion album, but only the fourth song from the album released as a pop radio single. Its melody, lyrics, and rhythm make it the most comparable song on Heart In Motion to "Baby Baby".

Straight Ahead is the fifth studio album, and eighth album by Christian music artist Amy Grant, released in 1984.

Straight Ahead was the follow-up to Grant's ground-breaking 1982 album Age to Age. Containing songs that were more aggressive than the ones found on Age to Age, Straight Ahead was not as commercially successful as its predecessor. Nonetheless, it still topped Billboard's Christian album chart for sixty-one weeks, knocking Age to Age from the number-one position. The song "Angels" was also a No. 1 Christian radio hit for thirteen weeks, and won a Grammy Award for "Best Gospel Performance, Female." Straight Ahead would be certified gold in 1985. The song "Thy Word" is based on Psalm 119:105.

In 2007, Straight Ahead was reissued and digitally remastered by Grant's new record label, EMI/Sparrow Records. The remastered edition is labeled with a "Digitally Remastered" logo in the 'gutter' on the CD front. Read more...

"What About the Love" is a song written by Kye Fleming & Janis Ian and released as a 1988 single by Christian music singer Amy Grant. It was released as the fourth single from Grant's Lead Me On album. Unlike some of Grant's previous singles, this song was released to Christian radio only and was not marketed to pop or "mainstream" radio.

"What About the Love" is a downtempo inspirational song that adopts a mysterious sound through the use of keyboards, acoustic guitars, and haunting background vocals. The lyrics center around the idea that "something's wrong in Heaven tonight", with each verse decrying some segment of society's neglect of another segment. The first verse tackles preachers who are too focused on religious legalism rather than love. The second verse talks of the corporate world's abuse of despair around the world. The third verse concerns the futility that the elderly feels when the world has decided that their "usefulness" is gone. Finally, the fourth verse finds the singer staring at herself in the mirror, realizing that she is no better than those she has criticized, and likening herself to those who crucified Jesus. The lyrics reveal that the eponymous "love" in the song refers to "the love of God". Read more...
