Deep as It Is WideAmy Grant

Featuring: Sheryl Crow Eric Paslay

There's a place at the edge of the sky
Where there's a love deep as it is wide
The weak are strong, the hungry are all fed
And there's a breeze from the angels flying overhead
Oh yeah

And there's a path, a glorious light
That guides you up the mountainside
And at the top, if you could you'd cry
'Cause you see pure love for the very first time

Deep as it is wide

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide

And I hear, when you get to the river
You look back for the very last time
And when you cross, you get washed off forever
Hurry up boy, eternity's on the other side

Deep as it is wide

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide
I believe there's a love

Every nation covered (?)
Like grace pouring out, far as the eye can see
Singing praises up to a King
'Cause He died, for a crown
Deep as it is wide

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
I believe
I believe there's a love
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide
Deep as it is wide
Deep as it is wide

There's a place at the edge of the sky
Where there's a love deep as it is wide

Amy Grant

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”.
