Simple Things is the 19th album by Christian music and pop music singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 2003.
Grant's first secular album (while containing Christian themes) since 1997's Behind the Eyes, Simple Things did not see the mainstream success similar to Grant's albums from the 1990s. While the album topped Billboard's Christian album chart and the title track became a Top Ten Christian single, Simple Things peaked just outside the Top 20 on the Billboard 200, at #23. The title track peaked at the same position on the Adult Contemporary chart.
