Amy Grant

Songwriter: Brown Bannister

I love to sing and I love to pray
Worship the Lord most every day
I go to the temple, and I just want to stay
To hide from the hustle of the world and its ways

And I'd
Love to live on a mountain top
Fellowshipping with the Lord
I'd love to stand on a mountain top
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar....

But I've got to come down
From the mountain top
To the people in the valley below;
They'll never know
That they can go
To the mountain of the Lord

Now praising the Father is a good thing to do
To worship the Trinity in spirit and truth
But if we worshipped all of the time
Well, there would be no one to lead the blind

But I'd
Love to live on a mountain top
Just fellowshipping with the Lord
And I'd love to stand on a mountain top
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar.... (Soar....)

But I've got to come down
From the mountain top
To the people in the valley below;
They'll never know
That they can go
To the mountain of the Lord

I am not saying that worship is wrong
But worship is more than just singin' some songs
'Cause it's all that we say and everything that we do;
It's letting God's Spirit live through you

Still, I'd
Love to live on a mountain top
Fellowshipping with the Lord
I'd love to stand on a mountain top
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar.... (Soar....)

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”.
