Amy Grant was one of the first stars of contemporary Christian music, starting in the 1980s - what Phatmass up and running by then? At any rate, she's been married to Vince Gill since 2000; he's a country singer with a strong Christian persona, too. This song is "Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet," based on today's Psalm, 119. She recorded it in 1984, I believe. You can tell by the prominent synthesizer in the accompaniment.

"Certainly, Lord" goes back a long way - It's not a 19th century spiritual, but it has that same kind of simple structure that allows the singer to add lyrics/verses on the spur of the moment. The lead singer asks a series of questions, and the back-up singers or the whole congregation reply with "Certainly, Lord." This version is a father-son preacher duo.
