The Way Home is the eleventh studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Wayne Watson , released on February 17, 1998 by Word Records. The album was produced by musician - producer Michael Omartian. The lead single, "For Such a Time As This," was an anthem of encouragement inspired by professional athlete Ken Ruettgers of the Green Bay Packers. It is based upon Mordecai's words to Esther in Esther 4:14, which says, " For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” "For Such a Time As This" became a Top 5 hit on the Christian AC chart. The track was used on the Season 6 premiere of the hit CBS-TV series Touched By An Angel in September 1999. The second single "Here In This Town" became Watson's final number one song on the Christian AC chart. The song is about religion in America with profound lyrics written by former White Heart member Gordon Kennedy and musicians Phil Maderia and Jackie Street. Watson wrote six songs and co-wrote three songs with Omartian. The album's overall sound is more adult contemporary, thus no songs were charted on the Christian CHR chart like previous releases. The Way Home peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and at number 35 on the Heatseekers Albums charts. The album inspired two books, both written by Watson: a devotional book also titled The Way Home released in the same year as the album and For Such a Time As This: Graduating into a Life of Faith, Purpose and Joy , which is an inspirational book for graduating students, that reminds us all that our lives have purpose and that we've been called to something greater than ourselves.

The Fine Line is the sixth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Wayne Watson , released in the fall of 1988 on DaySpring/Word Records. The album was produced by Watson and Paul Mills. Following up his success from his 1987 album Watercolour Ponies , The Fine Line continues that trajectory with more Christian radio hits like the lead single "That's Not Jesus," which is about the news of the time of the televangelists scandals of the late 1980s and that the song states the obvious fact that such shenanigans do not reflect on the Lord but only expose the weakness of "some flesh and blood like you and me somehow gone astray." Musician Buddy Greene played the harmonica on the track. Watson made his first music video for the track and further single "The Long Arm of the Lord" with its western theme. Other songs were also Christian radio hits like the title song, "Untouched by Human Hands" and the worship anthem "We Belong to Him." The Fine Line peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart in 1989. Watson wrote all the songs on the album, with the exception of the track "We Belong to Him," which was written by musician - songwriter Jeff Nelson.
