Just Sit Back (1981)

Just Sit Back is the fourth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Chris Christian. It was released in July 1981 and it is his first album on his newly-formed Home Sweet Home Records label and, at the time, was distributed by Benson Records. Christian produced the album himself.

Just Sit Back contains a duet with American Gospel singer and songwriter Andraé Crouch on the track "Nobody," which they both also co-wrote together. "Livin' For You" was the lead single and went Top 5 on the Christian radio charts.

Christian covers Country singer Larry Gatlin's "Light at the End of the Darkness" and Christian singer - songwriter Jamie Owens-Collins co-wrote "Look How Far You've Come" with Christian. The album was released two months before Christian put out his mainstream self-titled album. Just Sit Back was reissued on CD in 2000.
