Though actress Illeana Douglas apparently sings throughout the movie, her singing was dubbed by singer Kristen Vigard, notable as first girl to portray Annie in the 1976 workshop production before going to Broadway the following year. In the beginning, Edna/Denise performs a version of "Hey There," which was originally heard in the musical The Pajama Game, and popularized by singers such as Rosemary Clooney. Another of Denise's big musical moments occurs in the studio to sing tracks for "God Give Me Strength," an expensively produced single that fails to generate excitement on the charts, alluding to Spector's recording of "River Deep, Mountain High" for Tina Turner (written by Spector, Greenwich and Barry). Singer Elvis Costello, who co-wrote "God Give Me Strength" (with Burt Bacharach) for the film, also wrote "Unwanted Number," which, in the movie, is crafted by Denise and Cazsatt for The Luminaries and causes a scandal because it tells in a sympathetic manner the story of an unmarried pregnant preteen.

In his 2015 autobiography, Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink, Costello wrote, "To have written a song like "God Give Me Strength" and simply stopped would have been ridiculous, so about a year later we began a series of writing sessions […]." A companion album, The Sweetest Punch, was made concurrently by jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, released in 1999 on another Universal label, Decca Records. It consists of jazz arrangements of the Painted From Memory songs done by Frisell and his studio group.

Clapton first heard the song "Give Me Strength" in London in the 1960s, when he was living with Charlie and Diana Radcliffe on the Fulham Road. He wanted to record the song, because he thought the song would fit to the album's track listing. While the band recorded the album, George Terry brought the album Burnin' from Bob Marley and the Wailers to Clapton, stating he really liked the song "I Shot the Sheriff". He persuaded Clapton to record a version of this tune, which Clapton disliked, because of its "hardcore reggae" melody.

It ends as follows: "For wherever You enter You obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through Your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Allow me to praise You, O Sacred Virgin, Give me strength against Your enemies. Amen."

Although Grace of My Heart has many musical sequences, the selections were pared down for the soundtrack CD. The fictional Luminaries, dubbed by girl group For Real, perform a half dozen tunes onscreen but just three selections on the CD: Born to Love That Boy, I Do, and Unwanted Number. Likewise, the Williams Brothers, nephews of Andy Williams perform two songs in the film, Heartbreak Kid and Love Doesn't Ever Fail Us, but only the latter song is on the soundtrack disc. Both Kristen Vigard's renditions of Hey There in the contest version and the polished demo are excluded from the CD, and her In Another World is cut in favor of the fictional Stylettes' rendition (via Portrait). Vigard's performance of God Give Me Strength is not on the soundtrack; instead the Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach performance is seen and heard. ‘A Wave Dies’, written and Performed by Andrew Allen-King, recorded and Produced by Larry Klein not included in final Cut.
