Amy Grant

Songwriter: Barbara Hudson Mike Hudson

I need you Lord; in all I do
You're always there to see me through
I can't get by unless I lean on you, Lord

The Lord has a will
And I have a need
To follow that will
To humbly be still
To rest in it
Nest in it
Fully be blessed in it
Following my Father's will

Your love, Lord, is in my heart
You wrote it there; it won't depart
It lights my way and keeps me out of the dark

The Lord has a will
And I have a need
To follow that will
To humbly be still
To rest in it
Nest in it
Fully be blessed in it
Following my Father's will

I thank you, Lord, Your Word is sown
Into my life, and there it's grown;
It's roots go deep where living waters are known

The Lord has a will
And I have a need
To follow that will
To humbly be still
To rest in it
Nest in it
Fully be blessed in it
Following my Father's will

The Lord has a will
And I have a need
To follow that will
To humbly be still
To rest in it
Nest in it
Fully be blessed in it
Following my Father's will

To rest in it
Nest in it
Fully be blessed in it
Following my Father's will

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”.
