Aiming to better incorporating [[Biblical canon|Biblical scripture]] into [[contemporary worship music]], the Garratts went on to produce a series of albums and songbooks of [[Bible]] verses set to [[soft rock]], and became leading musicians and songwriters internationally in the [[Charismatic movement]] in the 1970s and 80s. Over 50 years, they have produced 37 Scripture in Song records, sold millions of songbooks, and are credited for creating an "entire genre of contemporary [[Christianity|Christian]] music".<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Dale Garratt and husband David: A match made in heaven |url=https://www.teaonews.co.nz/2023/12/30/dale-garratt-and-husband-david-a-match-made-in-heaven/ |access-date=2024-01-04 |website=Te Ao Māori News |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2024-01-04 |title=Steve Braunias meets the biggest-selling artists you’ve never heard of |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/the-ogs-of-christian-music/APQPSLZW2VETHKT5I7GLPE5O64/ |access-date=2024-01-04 |website=NZ Herald |language=en-NZ}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Our Story |url=https://www.scriptureinsong.org/our-story |access-date=2024-01-04 |website=Scripture In Song |language=en-US}}</ref>
