She moved to Nashville and worked in a Christian Book Store
while working on her first album. Three years later, she visited
the bookstore again and was humbled when she heard them
playing her album in the store where she was once a cashier.
89. I Will Be Free - Cindy Morgan (1993)
Written while reading the book Hinds Feet on High Places
by Hannah Hurnard (1955) in an effort to gain some insight into
some issues of fear that she was dealing with in her life.
88. Home Where I Belong - B.J. Thomas (1976)
He is best known for his hits "Raindrops Keep Falling On My
Head" (1969) and "Hooked On A Feeling" (1968).
87. My Deliverer - Rich Mullins (1998)
On September 10, 1997, Mullins sat down in an abandoned church
with his guitar and a K-Mart tape recorder. He recorded 9 songs
he had written for a new record. Nine days later, he was killed in a
car wreck. Myrrh Records decided to produce the album as a two
part series - (1) The Jesus Demos and (2) The Jesus Record.
The second album was made up of covers of "Demos" by other
artists. "My Deliverer" was the first track. It won, posthumously,
the 1999 Dove Award for Song of the Year and Mullins was give the
1999 Dove for Songwriter of the Year (which he never won while
he was alive.)
86. Runner - Twila Paris (1985)
85. How Excellent Is Thy Name - Larnelle Harris (1985)
84. Stand - Susan Ashton (1991)
83. He's My Son - Mark Shultz (2000)
Written while he was a Youth Pastor at a church in Nashville, TN.
A couple in the church had a 15 year old son with leukemia. Mark
says he couldn't begin to understand the depth of pain that the
parents were feeling, but God did and placed this song in his lap.
This song has become his signature work.
82. In Christ Alone - Michael English (1992)
81. When God Ran - Benny Hester (1985)
I personally like the cover of this song by Phillips, Craig & Dean
(Restoration) much better than the original.
