Ray Boltz

Ray Boltz was a Christian singer-songwriter who started performing in local churches. In 1984, he released his debut album 'Touching Hearts,' which included the song 'Always Be A Child.' That track became popular on Christian music charts during the 1980s.

He recorded several albums through the 1990s, including 'At This Moment' and 'The One Who Knows.' Songs like 'Thank You' and 'Watch The Lamb' were part of his catalog. His music often dealt with straightforward themes of faith and personal reflection.

In the late 1990s, Boltz faced criticism from some conservative Christian listeners over his support for women's ordination. He also dealt with periods of depression and anxiety that sometimes interrupted his work. He kept recording, with tracks like 'Altar' and 'Another Child To Hold' appearing among his later material.
