GMA Canada Lifetime Achievement Award

This annual award recognizes the achievements of artists and industry experts who have made the greatest contribution to further the Canadian Christian music scene.

In 2012, GMA Canada honoured the Toronto Mass Choir at ceremonies held November 7 in Burlington, Ontario.

His long association with the Billy Graham Crusades and his more than 70 albums led to his being referred to as "America's Beloved Gospel Singer".

Shea was unable to attend the GMA Canada Covenant Awards ceremony in person, but sent his thanks via video link.

He also released two Gospel albums "Songs Of Inspiration" and "Readings" which featured the fan favourites "Touch Of The Master's Hand" and "No Charge".
