By Faith Explained
By Faith is the sixth studio album by American Christian singer-songwriter Kim Boyce. It is her second and final album on the Warner Alliance label released in 1994.[1] The album is more adult contemporary, leaving behind her dance pop sound of her previous albums. A music video was made for the second single "Not Too Far From Here."[2] Boyce dedicated the album to her first born son Gary Lee. Boyce released her first all Spanish-language album of By Faith called Por Fe a year later. Bill Cuomo and Robert White Johnson produced three tracks while Bryan Lenox produced the rest of the album.
