  • Myrrh Records, also known as Myrrh Worship, is a Christian music record label. According to Encyclopedia of American Gospel Music, the label was instrumental in developing a popular following for Contemporary Christian music as the label that first published music by Barry McGuire, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Randy Matthews and Nancy Honeytree. The label is also known for serving as the first label for popular Christian crossover singer Amy Grant, who joined the label in 1977. The label has also published such artists as Malcolm and Alwyn, Petra, GLAD, David and the Giants, Billy Preston, Richie Furay, B.J. Thomas, Steve Archer, Mark Heard, Randy Stonehill, Sam Phillips (musician), Crystal Lewis, Cliff Richard, The Choir, Steve Taylor, Phil Keaggy, One Bad Pig, The 77s, Salvation Air Force, Benny Hester, and Mike Warnke. The label began as Myrrh Record in 1972, but took a several year hiatus beginning in 2000 before being relaunched by parent company Word Entertainment under the name Myrrh Worship in 2005.
  • Myrrh Records, fundada em 1972 por Billy Ray Hearn como divisão da Word Records, foi um dos selos musicais mais bem sucedidos no segmento cristão norte-americano. Seu nome deriva de "mirra", um dos presentes oferecidos pelos magos ao menino Jesus, segundo a Bíblia. Provavelmente o maior achado da Myrrh Records tenha sido uma cantora adolescente de nome Amy Grant, que debutou no cenário musical em 1977. Grant revelou-se tão popular, tanto no meio cristão quanto fora dele, que a Word fechou um acordo com a A&M Records para promover Amy Grant no mainstream da indústria fonográfica, além de relançar todo o catálogo da Myrrh neste meio. Em 1985, Myrrh/A&M fizeram o primeiro lançamento conjunto de Amy Grant, o álbum Unguarded. Além de Amy Grant, no elenco de artistas da Myrrh passaram nomes como Barry McGuire, Randy Stonehill, The 2nd Chapter of Acts, Phil Keaggy, Petra, Glad, Steve Taylor, Randy Matthews, entre muitos outros. Em 2000, a Word Entertainment anunciou o fim da marca e transferiu todo o elenco de artistas para o selo Word. Em 2005 o selo foi relançado como Myrrh Worship, dedicado ao tema de Louvor e Adoração.
