Written by American hymn writer/preacher George Bennard in 1913, this beloved hymn has become one of the most recorded gospel songs in history. Inspired by the Biblical story of Job, Mullen wrote the song based on Job’s quote: “I know that my redeemer lives and at the last day, He will stand upon the Earth.”

Ask just about any Christian music fan and they’ll cite this song as one of their faves because of its compelling lyrics and the passion in Mullen’s performance. This powerful anthem won the Dove Award for Song of the Year in 2001, and Mullen’s stunning performance remains one of the most memorable moments in the distinction’s history. She performed the song on the CMA Awards that year in an electrifying performance backed by Nashville’s Christ Church Choir. It’s been recorded by many artists over the years, but Parton recorded the definitive version as the closing track on her 1989 album White Limozeen. Written by Kentucky born singer/songwriter Don Francisco, this Easter classic is a detailed narrative of the crucifixion and resurrection that won the Dove Award for Song of the Year in 1980. Here are just a few of the many memorable songs that put words and melody to the story of Easter.
