Amy Grant

Songwriter: Gary Chapman Amy Grant

(Tell me) Does your head keep turning
From the feelings churning
Deep inside of you?
(Tell me) When your mind is racing
All the things you're chasing
Worth your while, well?
(Tell me) Don't you ever question
Why you're always guessin'
Reasons for your life?
(Listen) There's no need to waver
Long ago the Savior
Died...for you, so

Don't run away
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now

Don't run away
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today
And give Him all of your love....

(Tell me) Does the fear of losing
Keep your heart from choosing
Who has hold of you?
(Tell me) Have you felt the yearning
Deep inside, a burning
Need for love, now?
(Tell me) Tell me, can you sense a fighting?
Hate is now igniting
Fear of loving you
(Listen) Listen, God is still here waiting;
He'll remove the hating
Part...of you, so

Don't run away
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now

Don't run away
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today
And give Him all of your love....

Don't run away
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now

Don't run away
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today
And give Him all of your love....

Don't run away
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now

Don't run away
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today
And give Him all of your 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”.
