I always feel cheesy but I've always liked Amy Grant's Christian music much more than her 90's secular pop. I'm not hardcore religious but some of her early Christian songs like El Shaddai and Find A Way are fantastic.

I agree, her early Christian stuff was really good. My favorites are "Sing Your Praise To The Lord" "Thy Word", and "My Father's Eyes". I enjoy the ones you mentioned as well.

I felt like she started getting generic and cheesy when she went full-on pop in the 90's with Baby Baby, etc... I thought that the stuff she was doing in the 80's that was Christian but also pop was mainstream sounding enough to draw in people who don't normally listen to Christian music anyways. My older sister was all into Pat Benatar and Madonna and Chrissie Hynde back in the early/mid 80's but I remember she had Amy Grant tapes as well.

Good choices. I like The David Crowder Band. They seem to be getting more and more popular all the time. Jars of Clay's another one I'd add to my list. Awesome group.

Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns, Twila Paris, Petra...My church band that I am very involved with does these songs quite often:

Your Grace is Enough
King of Glory
Holy Is the Lord
Indescribable
God is in Control
Awesome is the Lord
My Savior, My God
Above All
Take Me In
How Can I Keep From Singing
Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)
Shout to the Lord
Everlasting God
Let God Arise
I Will Be Here (OK, our band hasn't done this song but I love it.

)

I'm the same way, I was never a huge fan of her big time pop hits such as Baby Baby, and Heart In Motion, etc. I did like a couple of her crossover hits like Ask Me (which is about child abuse), and her duet with Peter Cetera, Next Time I Fall, but other than those two, there's none that I'd really feel urged to run out to the store for and buy. Recently she went back to her Christian music roots, but I haven't been able to get into it like I did her old Christian stuff. I guess it's like they say, you can't always go home again.

spiritus sanctus

all from the medieval and baroque periods, mostly in latin, but christian nonetheless.

Another one of my favorites is "Fall In Line" by Seven Places, but I couldn't find a video for it on YouTube. It is, however, on a video I made for an event at our church, along with "Never Going Back To Okay" by The Afters (and, incidentally, "Hawaii" by The Beach Boys):
