Now Is The Time is the sixth and most recent studio album by the Christian R&B/gospel duo Anointed . It was released on April 5, 2005 by Sony Urban Music for the mainstream market and Integrity Gospel for the Christian/gospel market. Now Is The Time continues the ultra-modern sound heard from their 2001 album If We Pray , but adding a more genuinely gospel element than they attained during their Word Records years of the 1990s. Siblings Da'dra and Steve Crawford were involved with this album, writing and producing themselves, along with Warryn Campbell and Mark Heimermann as co-producers. The album's only single "Gonna Lift Your Name" peaked in the Top 10 of Billboard 's inaugural Gospel radio charts. The song is two versions: the regular album version and a remix version, which Campbell produced. The siblings cover of "Jesus is Lord" features the song's co-writer, contemporary gospel legend Andraé Crouch. Now Is The Time peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart. The duo was nominated for two Dove Awards for Urban Contemporary Album of the Year and Urban Recorded Song of the Year for the single "Gonna Lift Your Name." After the release of this album, the Crawford siblings would be serving as music worship leaders at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, taking a long hiatus from recording music. In the 2010s, they released a couple of stand-alone singles "Face to Face" and "Victorious" in 2012 and later, Steve and Da'dra have each released solo albums.

If We Pray is the fifth studio album by the Christian R&B/gospel duo Anointed , released on October 16, 2001 by Word Records. After the departure of former member Denise "Nee-C" Walls, Anointed's future, at the time, was uncertain with the siblings Da'dra and Steve Crawford remaining. The duo decided to head into the studio and begin work on their fifth album. The Crawfords worked with various producers and musicians on If We Pray , including Christopher Harris, Tommy Sims, Chris Rodriquez, Mark Hammond and Dan Muckala. If We Pray pushes the envelope creatively, musically, and vocally, bringing out a distinctive sound with the duo already known for their one-of-a-kind vocal talent. The album balances the jumpy, shouting tracks, like "Rejoice," with more introspective meditational ballads, like "You'll Never Thirst" (co-written by Nicole C. Mullen) and "I'm Praying for You." Former member "Nee-C" Wall co-wrote two songs: "Nothing Can Stop Me from Loving You" and "A Time for Everything." If We Pray peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart.

Anointed is the self-titled fourth studio album by the Christian R&B/gospel group Anointed , released on April 20, 1999 on Myrrh/Word Records. Anointed has worked with various producers on this album including Christopher Harris, Mark Heimermann, Keith Crouch, Tony Rich and Wayne Tester. Anointed was a return to their urban sound with which they began and their vocals are backed with more contemporary electronic sounds. The disco-fueled first single "Revive Us" begins and ends the album with two versions: the album version and the Urban Remix version. The song was a hit in Christian radio and topped the Christian AC chart. The album peaked at number 7 on the Top Christian Albums, number 3 on the Top Gospel Albums and number 7 on the Heatseekers Albums charts in Billboard magazine. In 2000, Anointed won two Dove Awards for Contemporary Gospel Album of the Year and Urban Recorded Song of the Year for the track "Anything is Possible" and earned their third and final Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album. That same year, Denise "Nee-C" Walls announced her departure from Anointed after being with the group in 1988. Track listing 1. Revive Us (Da'dra and Steve Crawford, Mark Heimermann) -4:08 2.
