I went to see my sister
She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin
He said, "First deny your body
And then learn to submit
Pray to be made worthy
And tithe your ten percent."
I said, "Is this all there is
Just the letter of the law?"
Something's wrong

I went to see my brother
On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on Wall Street;
You could hear the future's roar
He said, "Here we make decisions
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where there's famine
I can make you guarantees."
I said, "Is this all there is
Power to the strong?"
Something's wrong

Something's wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?"

I went to see my neighbor
He'd been taken to a home
For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go
He said, "Here I lack for nothing;
I am fed and I am clothed
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know."
I said, "Is this all there is
When your usefulness is gone?"
Something's wrong

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?"

(Yeah, yeah, yeah....)

(Yeah.)

(Yeah.)

I looked into the mirror, (Yeah.)
Proud as I could be, (Yeah.)
And I saw my pointing finger (Yeah.)
Pointing back at me
Saying, "Who named you accuser? (Yeah.)
Who gave you the scales?" (Yeah.)
I hung my head in sorrow; (Yeah.)
I could almost feel the nails
I said, "This is how it is
To be crucified and judged
Without love."

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love of God?"

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right
Saying, "What about the love?"
What about the love?
What about the love of God?"

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love...?"

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”.
