Hymns: My Life/Himnos de Mi Vida (1995)

• 

Hymns: My Life is the sixth studio and first hymns albums by American singer -

songwriter Crystal Lewis, released in July 1995 by Metro One. Hymns: My Life serves as a soulful collection of Lewis' favorite traditional hymns and gospel standards, re-imagined with arrangements ranging from minimalist a cappella to powerful full-scale choir and orchestration. Notably acclaimed jazz bassist John Patitucci played throughout the album accompanying Lewis. The album was later released in Spanish as Himnos de Mi Vida, but with a different track listing order. Lewis' then-husband Brian Ray produced three tracks, while musician and arranger John Andrew Schreiner produced the rest of the album.

Hymns: My Life peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.
