Myrrh Records, also known as Myrrh Worship, is a Christian music record label. According to Encyclopedia of American Gospel Music, the label was instrumental in developing a popular following for Contemporary Christian music as the label that first published music by Barry McGuire, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Randy Matthews and Nancy Honeytree.[1] The label is also known for serving as the first label for popular Christian crossover singer Amy Grant, who joined the label in 1977.[1] The label has also published such artists as Malcolm and Alwyn, Petra, GLAD, David and the Giants, Billy Preston, Richie Furay, B.J. Thomas, Steve Archer, Mark Heard, Randy Stonehill, Sam Phillips (musician), Crystal Lewis, Cliff Richard, The Choir, Steve Taylor, Phil Keaggy, One Bad Pig, The 77s, Salvation Air Force, Benny Hester, and Mike Warnke.
The label began as Myrrh Records in 1972, but took a five year hiatus beginning in 2000 before being relaunched by parent company Word Entertainment under the name Myrrh Worship in 2005.
