Looking out
To the hills, to the setting sun
I feel a cold wind
Bound to come;
Another change
Another end I cannot see
But your faithfulness to me

Is making it all right
I fall down on my knees;
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
Years of knockin' on heaven's door
Have taught me this, if nothing more
That it's all right, what may come

I've heard it said
When the river's running high
You get to higher ground or you die
Well, muddy waves of pain
Washed over me
And it only made me see

It's gonna be all right
I, I fall down on my knees;
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
Years of knockin' on heaven's door
Have taught me this, if nothing more
That it's all right, what may come

When will I learn there're no guarantees?
What strengthens hope, my eyes have never seen
But it won't be long
Till the faith will be sight
And the heavens will say

It's all right
(All right.)
(All right.)
(All right.)

All right
I fall down on my knees;
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
Years of knockin'...heaven's door
Have taught me this, if nothing more
And it's all right
Whatever comes

All right
Fall on my knees
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
(After all these) Years of knockin' on heaven's door
(Years of knockin' on heavens' door,)
(It's gonna be) All right
(Oooooh, yeah.) All right
I fall down on my knees
Tell me that it's all right
'Cause you give me what I need
(After all these years of knockin' on heaven's door,)
Years of knockin' on heaven's door
(It's gonna be) All right
Whatever comes, yes sir
All right
I fall down on my knees
All right

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”.
