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 has been certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA. It is the only album to ever debut #1 on Billboard 200, Top Country Albums, and Contemporary Christian charts at the same time.
