Reba McEntire can add another trophy to her mantle—if she has room.

Reba’s 2017 double-disc album, Sing It Now: Songs of Faith and Hope, won the Dove Award for Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year.

The 48th annual Dove Awards on Oct. 17 recognized the work of Christian artists in a range of music genres.

“It’s not mine. It’s God’s,” Reba said after winning the award. “I’ll give him all the glory and put it up on the mantle, and think of Him every time I look at it because it is truly a blessing to get to sing songs that touch people’s heart.”

The faith-based album, which was released in February, marked the first time Reba has scored a No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart, while becoming her 13th No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart. Her No. 13th chart-topping album extended her record for the most No. 1s for a female artist. Reba’s album also debuted at No. 4 on the all-genre Billboard 200.
