G. Sheppard reached No. 1 on the country music charts.[6] He also received a Dove Award as Songwriter of the Year from the Gospel Music Association in 1981.[7]

During the rest of the 1980s and the early 1990s, Chapman continued to write, record, and produce music, while touring as an opening act for various artists. He sang "Brave Hearts" in 1987 for the Touchstone Pictures film Ernest Goes to Camp.[8] He also collaborated with numerous artists in the singing of Amazing Grace in the 1994 film, Maverick.[9]

It also yielded a contemporary Christian music chart No. 1 song, "Sweet Glow of Mercy." He won a second Dove Award in 1994 for co-producing the album, Songs from the Loft, featuring various artists.[7]

Personal life

Chapman married Amy Grant on June 19, 1982. Citing "irreconcilable differences", Grant filed for divorce from Chapman in March 1999 and the divorce was finalized in June 1999.[16]

During his last years, he lived with Chapman and Cassie. During that time, Chapman played and sang old hymns at his father's bedside.
