9. Amy Grant
Favorite Lyric – “Through the years You made it clear that the time of Christ was near. Though the people couldn't see what Messiah ought to be. Though Your Word contained the plan, they just would not understand. Your most awesome work was done through the frailty of Your Son.” (El Shaddai)

4. Laura Story
Favorite Lyric – “Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops? What if Your healing comes through tears? And what if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?

And what if trials of this life: the rain, the storms, the hardest nights, are Your mercies in disguise?” (Blessings)
3. Darlene Zschech
Favorite Lyric – “I will live, I will not die! The resurrection power of Christ alive in me and I am free! In Jesus' Name I will live, I will not die! I will declare and lift You high, Christ revealed and I am healed

1. Christy Nockels
Favorite Lyric – “No mountain, no valley, no gain or loss we know could keep us from Your love. No sickness, no secret, no chain is strong enough to keep us from Your love, to keep us from Your love.
