A Maze of Grace is Avalon's second album, released in December 1997. It contains the hit single "Testify to Love", which has become the group's trademark song, the longest-running Adult Contemporary song in the history of the CCM Update AC chart.[2] The album was Avalon's first to be certified Gold by the RIAA.[3] Shortly after the release of the album, Nikki Hassman (now Anders) left the quartet to pursue a solo career with Sony Records.
