Hurry now wake up your eyes
Time for little ones to see
Daddy's got a big surprise
Hiding there beneath the Christmas tree
How they are like the child in me!
See the wonder in their eyes
Like a fairytale come true
One more time I realize
All the love our lives found in You

Love has come
For the world to know
As the wisemen knew
Such a long time ago
And I believe that angels sang
That hope had begun
When the God of Glory
Who is full of mercy
Sent His Son

If I could have a special dream
Coming true on Christmas morn'
I would want the world to see
How His Father smiled when Christ was born
The greatest gift the world has known!
So come on kids, look high and low
For all the toys you've dreamed to find
But I believe you'll never know
A greater joy than Jesus' love inside

(You gotta know!)
(Know!)
Love has come
For the world to know
As the wisemen knew
Such a long time ago
And I believe that angels sang
That hope had begun
When the God of Glory
Who is full of mercy
Yes, the God of Glory
Sent His Son

(Don't you know that)
Love has come
For the world to know, (know)
As the wisemen knew
Such a long time ago
And I believe that angels sang
That hope had begun
When the God of Glory
Who is full of mercy
Yes, the God of Glory
Sent His Son

Love has come
For the world to know
As the wisemen knew
Such a long time ago
And I believe that angels sang
That hope had begun
When the God of Glory
Who is full of mercy
Yes, the God of Glory
Sent His Son

(Don't you know)
Love has come
For the world to know
As the wisemen knew
Such a long time ago
And I believe that angels sang
That hope had begun
When the God of Glory
Who is full of mercy
Yes, the God of Glory
Sent His Son

(I can see that)
Love has come
For the world to know
As the wisemen knew
Such a long time ago

Amy Grant

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
