"House of Love" is a song by Christian music singer Amy Grant, recorded as a duet with country singer Vince Gill. It was released in November 1994 as the second single (after "Lucky One") from her House of Love album in the United States and the fourth and final single from the album in the United Kingdom.

Following the massive success of her 1991 hit album Heart In Motion, Amy Grant took some time off from recording and touring. She conceived her third child in early 1992, and Sarah Cannon Chapman was born on October 11. That same month, Grant's second Christmas album, Home For Christmas was released, spawning two major singles: "Breath Of Heaven" and "Grown Up Christmas List."

Grant spent much of 1993 writing songs for her next album, House of Love, but also found time to record Songs from the Loft, a praise and worship album for teenagers that won the 1994 GMA Music Award for "Praise & Worship Album of the Year." House of Love was soon completed thereafter, and the title track, a duet with country singer Vince Gill, was issued as its second single.

Two versions of the song were recorded. One with producer Keith Thomas; another with producer Michael Omartian. Only Thomas' was released on the album though Grant said she initially considered putting them both on the album. A snippet of Omartian's version, with a slightly more hip-hop lilt, can be heard on the documentary "Building the House of Love," a video that documented the making of the album. Omartian's version has never been released (the alternate versions on the maxis were remixes, not alternate recordings). Gill sang on both versions.

The song can also be heard over the closing credits of the Michael Keaton/Geena Davis romantic comedy Speechless.
