Rich Mullins Mullins' start in the industry occurred in the summer of 1981 when Amy Grant recorded his song "Sing Your Praise to the Lord."[15] The decision was made to stop touring as "Zion," and for Mullins to start his solo career. He moved to Bellsburg, Tennessee,[16] approximately 45 minutes from Nashville, to begin his professional recording career.[17] Mullins got engaged sometime between the late 70s and early 80s, and wrote the song "Doubly Good to You" (recorded by Amy Grant on her album Straight Ahead) for his upcoming wedding. However, his fiancÃ©e broke off the engagement in 1982.[18] In response to the breakup, Mullins wrote "Damascus Road".[19][20]
