Natalie Grant has had a successful Christian music career since 1997 when she signed with Benson Records at 26 years old. Her music is a reflection of her own Christian walk and hit songs over the past few years have embraced a very personal side. Her music often refers to different situations that are tragic and hard, but focuses on receiving hope and strength from God. Natalie lives a life that is consistent with what she sings about. She has broadened her career by releasing the book The Real Me in 2005, hosting the show It Takes a Church on the Game Show Network and playing a role in the movie Persecuted, which was released July 18, 2014. We even named her the Best Female Voice In Christian Music Today!

#10 “Our Hope Endures” from Relentless
Favorite Lyrics
But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged
Emmanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
We never walk alone
And this is our hope
#9 “The Real Me” from Awaken
Favorite Lyrics
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
#8 “Perfect People” from Relentless
Favorite Lyrics
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scared
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
#7 “Alive (Mary Magdalene)” from Music Inspired By The Story
Favorite Lyrics
Alive! Alive! Look what Mercy’s overcome; Death has lost and Love has won Alive! Alive!
Hallelujah, Risen Lord, the only One I fall before I am His because He is
#6 “In Better Hands” from Relentless
Favorite Lyrics
I am strong
All because of you
I stand in awe of
Every mountain that you move
For I am changed
Yesterday is gone
I am safe
From this moment on...
And there's no fear when the night comes 'round
I'm in better hands now
#5 “I Will Not Be Moved” from Relentless
Favorite Lyrics
I will stumble, I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes, I will face heartache,
But I will not be moved
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand.
I will not be moved.
#4 “Closer To Your Heart” from Hurricane
Favorite Lyrics
I've been running so fast,
trying to get back to the start.
I've been holding so tight,
but it all just comes apart.
Pull me in, break me down,
make me new and
bring me closer to Your heart
#3 “Hurricane” from Hurricane
Favorite Lyrics
Step out on the edge
Don't be afraid of it
And when you feel the rain
Call His name
He'll find you in the hurricane
You're in the wreckage underneath
Your hope is buried somewhere deep
You're wondering how long it will keep?
#2 “Your Great Name” from Love Revolution
Favorite Lyrics
Jesus,
Worthy is the Lamb
That was slain for us,
Son of God and Man
You are high and lifted up and all the world will praise your great name
#1 “Held” from Awaken
Favorite Lyrics
Were asking why this happens to us
Who have died to live, it's unfair
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

I am a Christian writer and editor that lives in northern Michigan and thoroughly enjoy music, movies, TV shows, books and other entertainment with a Christian focus. My favorite song is "Oceans" by Hillsong United because it reminds me that has big plans for me and everyone else who puts their trust in Him. There are many movies that have impacted my life, but a few include God's Not Dead, The Shunning and Letters to God. I also write for www.faithandentertainment.com and love connecting with readers, so please don't hesitate to contact me! When I'm not writing I enjoy watching movies and laughing with my busy toddler and husband.
