You Light up My Life: Inspirational Songs is the third album by American country singer LeAnn Rimes, released in the United States on September 9, 1997 (see 1997 in music) by Curb Records. Released in 1997, the album was hugely successful but many critics thought that much of the material did not do Rimes' talent justice. The album contains cover versions of "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone, "The Rose" by Bette Midler, "Bridge over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel, "I Believe" by Jane Froman, "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" by Ira F. Stanphill, "God Bless America", "Amazing Grace" and the American National anthem. To date, the album has been certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA.
