Small Corners is a 1978 album of Contemporary Christian music by British singer Cliff Richard.[2] It is his twentieth studio album and third gospel album.[3] It was recorded in Abbey Road Studios in January 1977.[4]

"Yes He Lives" was released in the UK as the lead single from the album, but did not chart. In France, "Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music" was released as a single in April 1978, however it did not chart either.[5] A significant portion of the album consists of songs by American writers, including Larry Norman, Annie Herring, Kris Kristofferson and Randy Stonehill.[3]

This album has never been released in the US.

Critical response

AllMusic found that due to its "spontaneous air" it was more fun and less "pious" than his other religious recordings.[4] On its reissue, Mojo magazine gave it 3/5.[6]
