Amy Grant

Songwriter: Judson Spence Tommy Simmsss

A king is crying from his throne
He had a queen but now she's gone
What is this magic that we seek
The mighty strong turn mighty weak
Every good girl hears it
Every bad boy fears it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe

Chorus:
The power touches me
The power helps us see
The power holds my hand
The power drives me crazy

A flower grows, an old man dies
And through it all we still survive
A poor man screams but no one hears
Ain't nothing changed much through the years
Every bad day needs it
Every good day breeds it
No matter how it feels
When it's real you know it's real
Stronger than any bomb that any man has ever made

(Repeat Chorus)
And it won't take long to understand
Just how amazed I am

Hey, hey
Open up your eyes and see
It won't take long to understand
Just how amazed I am

Every good day needs it
Every bad day needs it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe
Stronger than any bomb any man has ever made

(Repeat Chorus Twice)
The power drives me crazy
If I believe and you believe
And we believe everything is gonna be all right
All right
It just might

(The power)
(The power)
(The power)
(The power)

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”.
