Top 15 Amy Grant Christian Songs

Top 15 Amy Grant Christian Songs

Amy Grant has been on the Christian music scene for more than 35 years as a singer/song writer. Her first album released when she was only 17 years old. Since then she has crossed over to become popular in the secular pop genre as well. Her second album received a Grammy Award and it incorporated some gospel and some pop. Her unique blend of gospel, hymns (being raised in the church) and what was known as “Jesus music” which incorporated rock music to bring the gospel message is what allowed her to quickly rise to the top of the charts in the late 70s and early 80s. When I first began listening to Contemporary Christian Music Amy Grant’ songs were at the top of the charts.
