How Can We See That FarAmy Grant

We said our promises by candle light
You held my hands
I was dressed in white
We were young
How can we see that far?
I knew i wanted you like no one else
I told my momma that i found myself in your eyes
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
But like you daddy said
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean into it will drive our fears away
And then i woke you in the dead of night
To hold my hands
Push away the fright
Life had come
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
Yeah, we were nervous and a little scared
Until the music of our baby's cry filled the air
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
But like your daddy said
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away
We might die
We might live
We could hurt each other badly
Do things, things so hard to forgive
Ooh, and if time is not our friend
Your mind might forget me before the end
Ohh, and i cannot look that far
But like your daddy said
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away
How can we see that far?
Gotta lean into it
Will drive our fears away
It's the same sun, yeah
And the same rain

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”.
