Amy Grant

We dim the light
We stoke the fire
We breathe the evergreen
Young ones wait
While the old ones make up
Tales of how it used to be

China dolls
Candy corn
Painted wooden toys
Treasures found
To the wondrous sound
Of carolling the savior
Born to us on christmas morn

Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel!
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of israel

And still he calls
Through the night
Beyond the days of old
A voice of peace
To the weary ones
Who struggle with the human soul

All of us
Travellers
Through a given time
Who can know
What tomorrow holds?
But over the horizon
Surely you and I will find

Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel!
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of israel

And the years they come
And the years they go
Though we may forget somehow
That the child once born in bethlehem
Is still among us now

(emmanuel....)

(emmanuel, God with us
The son of israel.)

Emmanuel, God with us, (emmanuel.)
Emmanuel! (emmanuel.)
Emmanuel, God with us, (emmanuel.)
The son of israel. (israel.)
The son of israel
The son of is...israel. (son of israel.)

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”.
