In 1998, they added a touring band, with Cappillino's husband, Dana, and Tommy McGee as permanent band members on guitar and on bass, respectively.
In 2006, former Avalon member Michael Passons added his work to the group's live show, usually opening the set with a few solo songs and backing the group on keyboards.
The group's debut self-titled album was released in 1993; since then, they have been recognized as one of the top Contemporary Christian music bands in the United States. In 2003, they released their ninth album, 24 - a compilation of their 24 consecutive #1 radio singles. To this date, no band in any genre has matched this record. As of 2006 the girls have 27 #1 radio singles.
The group has started a conference for young girls, the Girls of Grace series
You Are the Answer
Point of Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The masses fill up Saint Peter's square.
Confessions, emotions spill out of desperate prayer.
I know they're not alone.
They've come to face the penitence stone.
I hear the voices of souls in need of you, cause
Chorus:
and the meaning of life.
To hearts in darkness,
you're the source of the light.
As we walk this human road,
every question will find
you are the answer.
Across the playground yard,
another future society.
Living and learning the way it's supposed to be.
The days of truth grow dim.
Your hand must reach down and write in them.
The message of hope that can only be found in you, cause
Repeat Chorus
You shined your light in me
when I had no way.
Rescued my dying heart
that I could not save.
And not just for me, but for the world today.
Repeat Chorus
In "You Are the Answer," Point of Grace describes the overwhelming need for God and the powerful role that He plays in our lives. The song opens with imagery of people crying out to God at the Wailing Wall and in St. Peter's Square. The focus then shifts to a more general picture of society at large and the way that truth has become increasingly difficult to discern. However, despite the darkness and confusion, the chorus declares that Jesus is the answer to all of life's questions. He is the source of light that can shine through any darkness.
The second verse emphasizes the importance of teaching and guiding future generations towards the truth. It is up to us to lead the way and make sure that they know where to turn when life gets difficult. The bridge brings the song back to a personal level, as the singer reflects on her own experience of being rescued by God. She acknowledges that His love and grace are not just for her alone, but for the whole world.
Overall, "You Are the Answer" offers a message of hope and encouragement to those who may be struggling to find their way. It reminds us that God is always there for us, no matter what, and that His love is powerful enough to overcome even the darkest of days.

Oh 90's Christian music...how I miss you! This song is beautiful.
Reijo P.
They have made great music in the 2000's too. "Life Love & Other Mysteries" or "No Changin' Us" is my favorite.

When I was saved at 18 this was the first cd my pastor gave me at church, still listen to it obviously but not as a pentacostal. But as a different form of Christian, same Jesus, same GOD, same Love.
Shark Chaparral
We are all disciples of Christ. On earth and in Heaven! I look forward to meeting you in Heaven! Imagine that!
You and I will never meet in this life, yet we will instantly know one another once we meet in Heaven!
Perhaps because of this youtube comment thread. (Which is agnostic, as you know!) Jesus is Lord!
