Amy Grant

Songwriter: Michael W. Smith Gary Chapman Amy Grant

Lord I'm really glad You're here
I hope you feel the same when You see all my fear
And how I fail
I fall sometimes
It's hard to walk on shifting sand
I miss the rock, and find there's nowhere left to stand;
I start to cry
Lord, please help me raise my hands so You can pick me up
Hold me close
Hold me tighter

I have found a place where I can hide
It's safe inside
Your arms of love
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love

Storms will come and storms will go
Wonder just how many storms it takes until
I finally know
You're here always
Even when my skies are far from gray
I can stay;
Teach me to stay there

In the place I've found where I can hide
It's safe inside
Your arms of love
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love

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”.
