"Love by Grace" is a song written by Wayne Tester and Dave Loggins, and originally recorded by the American country singer Wynonna Judd and included on her third studio album Revelations (1996). It was later covered by the Belgian-Italian singer Lara Fabian, and released as the fourth single of her English-debut self-titled album on October 2, 2000. Produced by the American producer Walter Afanasieff, the song is a classic ballad with potent vocals, which were highly praised by music critics.
A modest hit on the US Adult Contemporary radio, the song became a smash hit in Brazil, reaching the top of the charts for eight weeks, after being featured on the soundtrack of the Brazilian hit soap opera Laços de Família (2000), where it became notorious on a scene where one of the protagonists (played by actress Carolina Dieckmann) shaved her hair after discovering she had leukemia. In Portugal, it was also successful, reaching the top-three on the Portuguese charts, whilst elsewhere, the song performed moderately in Germany and Sweden.
