Five CCM Songs You Might Not Know Were Covers
Five CCM Songs You Might Not Know Were Covers
By Allison Hunsaker
Many great songwriters’ songs were covered by other artists. Sometimes people are unaware that a song originated with another artist. I’d like to honor these great songwriters. If you haven’t heard all versions of these classic CCM songs, take a listen!
1. Love Broke Through – This is on my top ten favorite CCM songs of all time! Keith Green co-wrote this song with Randy Stonehill & Todd Fishkind. Keith recorded it on his album For Him Who Has Ears to Hear and Phil Keaggy also recorded it on his second solo album Love Broke Thru in 1976.
2. Sing Your Praise to the Lord – This majestic song was written by the late Rich Mullins. Before going solo, he was a member of the group Zion and recorded it in 1981 on their Behold the Man album. Amy Grant’s 1982 album Age to Age featured this song selling over a million copies. The song’s piano intro is based on J.S. Bach’s “Fugue No. 2 in C Minor”.
3. El Shaddai – This beautiful song was written by Michael Card and John Thompson. Michael Card recorded it on his 1981 album Legacy. Amy Grant made it a hit on her 1982 Age to Age album. El Shaddai won “Song of the Year” and Card won “Songwriter of the Year” at the 1983 GMA Dove Awards.
4. You’re Welcome Here – This was written by the great singer/songwriter Bob Bennett. He first recorded it on his 1979 debut album, First Things First. Cynthia Clawson recorded the song on You’re Welcome Here in 1981 and won a GMA Dove Award for “Inspirational Album of the Year”.
5. Easter Song – Annie Herring of 2nd Chapter of Acts wrote the song and it was first recorded on the 2nd Chapter of Acts album With Footnotes in 1974. It was later recorded by Keith Green on For Him Who Has Ears to Hear in 1978, and Glad recorded it in 1988 on The Acapella Project. CCM Magazine named Easter Song “the #4 Christian song of all time” and it remains a classic anthem for the Easter season and is found in many church hymnals.
