Amy Grant

Hear me speak what's on my mind
Let me give this testimony
Reaffirm that you will find
That you are my one and only

No exception to this rule
I'm simple, but I'm no fool
I've got a witness
Happy to say
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Classic case of boy meets girl
Moving in the same direction
You're not asking for the world
I'm not asking for perfection

Just a love that's well designed
For passing the test of time
I'm here to tell you
I'm here to stay
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Ooooh...

Yeah sure, maybe I'm on the edge
But I love you baby, and like I said
I'm here to tell you
I'm here to stay
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

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”.
