While she faced the harshest criticism from the church, she would simultaneously receive greater acknowledgment and recognition from her peers in the music industry. "The Lord’s Prayer" won a Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary or Inspirational in 1981. She, McGuire and the artists who were also featured on the album, Andrae Crouch, B.J. Thomas, Cynthia Clawson, Walter Hawkins, Tramaine Hawkins and The Archers, performed a medley of selections from the album on the telecast, “receiving one of the few standing ovations of the evening.” The Grammy would open other doors. Later that year, she would appear on network television by way of The Mike Douglas Show and the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. A full production of "The Lord’s Prayer" at Knott’s Berry Farm, outside of Los Angeles, drew more than 18,000 people. Later, Donna Summer recorded "Forgive Me", a song from "The Lord's Prayer" and received a Grammy award for her performance.
