House of Love was a top-selling 1994 (see 1994 in music) album by pop star Amy Grant. House of Love was Amy's follow-up to her quintuple-platinum 1991 release Heart in Motion. Although House of Love sold less than half of what its predecessor sold, it is a nice, mellow album that comfortably combines pop music with Christian values. "Lucky One" was the album's biggest hit at #18 Pop and #2 Adult Contemporary in the U.S.A., followed by the title song and a remake of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi." "Say You'll Be Mine" also was a UK Top 50 hit. Some of the album's other tracks garnered more notice later on when done by other artists. "The Power" (written by Tommy Sims and Judson Spence) is featured on Cher's 1998 album Believe, and Vanessa L. Williams had an AC hit in 1997 with her cover of "Oh How The Years Go By."
