Amy Grant

Songwriter: Amy Grant

Some people always know the right thing to say
I don't really think I was born that way
And with the gift of charm, they're well endowed
I love to watch them float right through a crowd

I used to think it took a giggly girl
To win some fame in this mixed around world
But I know better now

One day I met a man who showed me love
There standing on his head was a snow white dove
And he said, "Once I came down to this mire for you
But I'm the Son of God; He's your Father too."

It wasn't long before my new walk began
Since I found Jesus, my life is in His hands

Now I have life; no one can take it from me
And I've a home above I'm waiting to see
There're many rooms in the house of the Lord
Why don't you come along, and bring someone more?

I used to think it took a giggly girl
To win some fame in this mixed around world
But I know better now
I know better now
I know better now
I know better now
I know better now
I know better now
I know better now
I know better now
I know, I know, I know
I know better now!

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”.
