You will not find anything previously to the 70's as The Jesus Movement and CCM started then. There is Southern Gospel and other stuff before that which I am not aware of, however CCM as we know it first started it in the 70's.

Theres a boxed set called "Guitar Evangelists" on JSP records which focuses on Blind Willie Johnson but the final disk in the set also has songs by Utah Smith and Anderson Johnson and while they are maybe not exactly '50s and '60s oldies since they only have vocals and guitar they came from that time period and can still be compared somewhat.
You could also try Fraction, Concrete Rubberband and New Creation all of which have a 1960s type psychedelic sound.
