The Whole Truth is the second album by Contemporary Christian group Point of Grace. It was released in 1995 by Word Records with selected market distribution by Epic Records.
The Whole Truth followed the group's debut album, which had produced six #1 singles. As a result, Word Records' promotion department felt intimidated by the prospect of its first single, "The Great Divide." [2]
The lyrics of "The Great Divide," as recorded, were the result of a happy mistake: the line "There's a bridge to cross the great divide" was meant to be repeated, but a typo rendered the second instance as "There's a cross to bridge the great divide." [2]
On December 9, 1995, the album charted on Billboard's Top Christian Albums at #8 [3] and on the Billboard 200 at No. 132. [4] Each of the album's five singles, released between March 1995 and April 1996 reached #1 on the Christian songs chart, continuing what would become the group's historic run of 24 consecutive #1's on the chart. [2]
Music videos were filmed for "Dying to Reach You" and "Gather at the River."
