'Precious Lord' is Al Green's second gospel album, released in 1982 by Myrrh Records. Recorded between 1981 and 1982, the record was again produced by Green and contains a mix of traditional hymns and original compositions, including a version of the classic 'Precious Lord, Take My Hand' by Thomas A. Dorsey.
The album reached number 2 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart and received praise for Green's passionate vocal delivery. The production maintains a more polished sound than its predecessor, incorporating gospel choirs and subtle orchestral arrangements that enhance the spirituality of the songs.
Although it did not repeat the commercial success of 'The Lord Will Make a Way', 'Precious Lord' was instrumental in solidifying Green's reputation as a gospel artist. The album reflects his growing commitment to religious music and his ability to reinterpret classics with a personal style.
