Laura loves her little family
And she's the kind of woman who loves them with her life
But sometimes in the evening
When the world rests on her shoulders
With four walls closing in
She'll close her eyes

Oh....

It's not like she misses being younger
Though she never was in Vogue magazine or on TV;
Her husband loves her dearly
And the morning shows her clearly
Kisses her little baby girl
Laura, she's the queen of the world

Can't imagine ever leaving now
Now that she's been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love
Listen to her quiet heart singing loud
Laura, she's been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love
I know that she's been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love
Saved by love

There's nothing quite like my family's love to warm me
And nothing short of death's gonna ever leave me cold
Well, still at times it's lonely
But through it all it only
Makes me love Jesus more
And this is what He came here for

I can't imagine ever leaving now
Now that I've been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around
And I've been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love
I know that I've been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love....

Oh, I'm never leaving now
Now that I've been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around
And I've been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love
Amy, she's been saved by love
Saved by love, saved by love....
Saved by love

I'm saved by love

That's right
And nothing I can say
Nothing I can do, nothing I can say

We're all just saved by love
Nothing you can say, nothing you can do
Only love can say, only love can do
Only love can say

Only love can say, only love can do
Only love can say

I'm say-yay-yaved by
I'm saved by, by
Nothing you can do, nothing you can say
Only love can say....

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”.
