Amy Grant

Songwriter: Amy Grant

Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble
Listen too long, you'll eventually die

Too late for walking in the middle
Too late to try
And it's too late for sitting in the balance
No more middle line

Are you puzzled by the way that you're behaving?
You wonder why you do the things you do?
Are you troubled by your lack of resistance?
It feels like something's got a hold on you

Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble
If you listen too long, you'll eventually die

When I'm losing my sense of direction
And I'm needing some strength and protection
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You, and when I
When I think I can't stand any longer
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You

El Shaddai, El Shaddai
El-Elyon na Adonai
Age to age, You're still the same
By the power of the name

El Shaddai, El Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai
I will praise and lift You high
El Shaddai

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'm lighter than air

And I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
And soar through the air

'Cause I have felt for the first time
I can be myself
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile
And a dream that's mine
Even if I am
The only one
Who wants to fly....

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say

She's got her father's eyes
Her father's eyes
Her father's eyes, ya know
Just like my father's eyes.... (Sing, sing, sing!)

(Sing, sing, sing!)
(Sing, sing, sing!)

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah
Give your praise to the Lord
I can never tell you
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya
Just to sing, sing, sing....

Come on, sii-hii-yiing!
You know you really gotta sii-hii-yiing!
Come on, sii-hii-yiing! (Sing, sing, sing!)

I have decided
I'm gonna live like I believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe
I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't 'cause I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah
Give your praise to the Lord
I can never tell you
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya
Just to sing, sing, sing

Come on, sii-hii-yiing
We've all gotta sii-hii-yiiiiiing!
Come on, sing, sing, sing!

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”.
