- Lord of the Past: A Compilation (1989)

This collection features 11 of Bennett's best songs from his first three albums, First Things First , Matters of the Heart and Non-Fiction , plus four new tracks. The title song, "Lord of the Past," was released as the lead single and by early 1990 topped the Christian AC chart, giving Bennett his first (and only) number one song. The other new track and the highlight, "Man of the Tombs," is a story-song Bennett wrote about the Gadarene demoniac who was freed by Jesus and vividly portrays how his story can be similar to our own, how people can be free from sin. Jonathan David Brown produced, recorded and mixed the four new tracks, as well as the previous tracks. Lord of the Past debuted and peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart in April 1990. In 1991, Urgent Records reissued Lord of the Past with distribution by Benson Music.

- Matters of the Heart (1982)
Matters of the Heart is the second studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Bob Bennett . It was originally released in 1982 on Priority Records, a division of CBS Records. Produced by Jonathan David Brown, Matters of the Heart was considered a masterpiece and showed even more progression in Bennett's songwriting skills. The album opens with the title song, "Matters of the Heart," and closes with the track "Heart of the Matter." The songs reflect various aspects of life. Some of the songs are autobiographical on tracks like "1951" and "A Song About Baseball." "Come and See" and "Mountain Cathedrals" are spiritual songs that focus on the worship of God. Those mentioned songs became Christian radio favorites. CCM Magazine named this album as "Album of the Year" in a year-end issue, even beating out Amy Grant 's Age to Age . Despite this accolade, Bennett was never nominated for a Grammy or a Dove Award for Matters of the Heart . In 2001, Matters of the Heart was ranked at number 65 from CCM Magazine 's 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music . Bennett's original record label Priority folded midway in 1982 and then was out of print. The album started charting in 1983 and peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart.
