Todd Wilson Agnew (born March 15, 1971, in Dallas, Texas) is a contemporary Christian musician and songwriter.
Agnew was born in Dallas, Texas and was adopted at birth. [3] He was raised in Dallas, but began traveling to Memphis to help Andy Savage with a citywide Bible study for college students and singles called Metro Bible study in the fall of 1999 at Germantown Baptist Church. During this time he began writing and introducing songs to the group which would later become songs on the album, Grace Like Rain . He would eventually move to Memphis to help Chris Conlee and Savage plant a church, which developed through the Metro event, called Highpoint Church. [4] [ better source needed ] [5]
Agnew's best-known song is "Grace Like Rain", a version of "Amazing Grace", which was featured on his first album, Grace Like Rain , released in June 2003. Agnew wrote this song with his friend, Chris Collins. Since then, Agnew has released five label albums. 2005's Reflection of Something introduced the popular songs "My Jesus" and "Unchanging One", which are often featured on Contemporary Christian radio stations. In late 2006, after the two highly acclaimed studio projects, he wrote a retelling of the Christmas story on his album entitled Do You See What I See? . His fourth studio project, Better Questions , was released in 2007 and featured the hit single "Our Great God" (a duet featuring CCM artist Rebecca St. James).
Agnew is known for performing his concerts barefoot. [6]
Agnew has said that "so much of what we identify [Native Americans] with now is alcoholism and poverty" but that he believed "there's still that prayer [I'll be used to] reach that culture for Christ." [7]
On September 18, 2007, at the final concert of his Better Questions Tour in Memphis, TN, Agnew proposed to his longtime girlfriend. After a number of years touring out of Memphis, Agnew moved back to Texas; he currently lives in Austin, TX with his wife and two children.[ citation needed ]
