"Leap of Faith" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer Lionel Cartwright. It was released in June 1991 as the first single from his album Chasin' the Sun. The song became his first and only number #1 country hit in September of that year.
A Miami Herald review of the album said that the song showed Cartwright's more commercial and country pop oriented side, compared to the bluegrass and Cajun influences shown by the rest of the tracks. It was also referred to as a "radio programmer's dream" in the same review.[2]
The music video was directed by John Lloyd Miller and premiered in mid-1991.
As listed in liner notes.
"Leap of Faith" was Cartwright's only Number One hit,[3] spending twenty weeks on Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) and peaking on the chart week of September 21, 1991.
