At eighteen years old, Paschal was hired for her first professional singing job as the featured soprano with The LeFevres, an Atlanta-based family singing group. After two years, the group changed its name to The Rex Nelon Singers. She sang with the group from 1974 to 1981.
In 1982, she was invited to perform as a soloist for televangelist Jimmy Swaggart's international crusades. During her five and a half years with Swaggart, Paschal appeared weekly before 100 million viewers and traveled the world singing at crusades. During this time, she performed for more people worldwide than any other female vocalist in any genre. Paschal also began her solo career, releasing her first album titled "I Give You Jesus" on Swaggart's ministry label, Shiloh Records, in 1984.
In 1987, Paschal began touring full-time as a soloist. She signed with Word Records and began composing songs such as Another Soldier's Coming Home, God Will Make A Way, The Body and Blood, and If I'd Had My Way. Shortly afterwards she was invited to tour with Bill and Gloria Gaither and she became a featured artist on the Gaither Homecoming Tour.
Paschal's self-titled debut album with Word was nominated for a Dove Award for "Inspirational Album of the Year" in 1990. Her Simple Trust album featured her No. 1 inspirational radio hit, Take These Burdens. Her single, Hide Me Sweet Rock of Ages, was No. 1 on The Singing News Top 80 Chart in August 2009. Paschal's passion and vulnerability are evident in her inspiring music, including her latest release, Beginnings. She has earned multiple Diamond Awards and numerous Grammy nominations, and she is consistently named among Gospel Music's favorite soloists by the genre's top trade magazines.
In 1998, Paschal performed her song, Another Soldier's Coming Home, written as a tribute to her grandfather, upon invitation for the National Memorial Service of First Lieutenant Michael Blassie, the first unknown soldier from the Vietnam War to be exhumed and positively identified.
In 2009, Paschal started a radio program focused on cancer awareness, Walking The Good Road, that aired on more than 30 stations in the U.S. and Canada. She also began the Annual Cancer Walk at Gospel Music's premier weeklong festival, NQC.
