A Maze Of Grace [edit]
by Avalon | Genre: Adult Contemporary | Release Date: January 13, 1998
 

With a sound and style that is distinctly Avalon, this album is steeped in soul, substance, and a sound that defines them as one of the premiere vocal groups in Christian music.

After winning the highly-coveted honor of "New Artist of the Year" at the 1998 GMA Dove Awards, the next thing to do is to "step it up a notch" on your follow-up album. This sophomore release from one of CCM's pioneers not only gave Avalon the biggest smash hit of the 90's ("Testify To Love") but also several Dove Award nominations and awards, including an RIAA-Gold certification for this particular 1998 release, A Maze Of Grace. Included on this immensely-popular project is the aformentioned "Testify To Love", as well as the radio gems "Knockin' On Heaven's Door", "Reason Enough", and the Dove Award-winning, moving ballad "Adonai". Avalon has always been known for catchy pop treats, heart-wrenching ballads, and amazing vocals... all of this can be found on A Maze Of Grace. Although this definitely doesn't showcase the current Avalon lineup (three of the four founding members in this album have since departed from the group) it DOES feature something great... for everybody.

Still Can Move Ya | Posted August 02, 2007
Looking for some absolutely matchless pop that will simply blow you away? Look no further! Christian pop newcomers Avalon released their sophomore album after a successful self-titled debut album in 1996. This group has an incredible energy-packed pop style, and successfully matches awesome vocal harmony with dance music. I guarantee, if your heart isn't as cold as ice, this album will speak straight to your soul. And if your body isn't dead, you'll have a very hard time not moving to the beat! Even 11 years later after the release.

Love it, love it, love it!!! | Posted April 23, 2008
After a highly-successful debut that scored this fan-favorite foursome a handful of #1 hits and even a Dove Award for "New Artist of the Year", Avalon returned to the scene again with their critically-acclaimed, best-selling sophomore release, A Maze Of Grace. The group once again put out a solid album, once again focusing on unbelievably catchy tunes and spine-tingling ballads, all of which make up what is sure to become one of the best albums in your music collection!! "The Move", "Forgive + Forget", "Speed Of Light", and the smash hit "Testify To Love" all shine brilliantly on this stellar project to propel A Maze Of Grace to one of the best in Avalon's career. The soft side of Avalon is also here, most obvious on "Adonai" and "Reason Enough", both of which will touch your soul with compelling lyrics. The title track tells of how Christ is always with us, and its unique sound drives it to a huge highlight on this release. The album as a whole is FANTASTIC... inspiring lyrics, AMAZING vocals (once again) and brilliant pop CCM tunes perfect for anybody all wrapped up in ten songs of pure excellence!! BUY IT--you won't regret it!!

The best song ever on this cd is Testify to Love. It has alot of meaning to it and it is a song I have known since I was little. I learned it at a church that I used to go to in Franklin, TN. Ever since I heard it, it has been constantly stuck in my head. Here are the lyrics to Testify To Love:

All the colors of the rainbow
All of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a whitness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done
