Marching to ZionAmy Grant

Come, we that love the Lord
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord
Join in a song with sweet accord
And thus surround the throne
And thus surround the throne

Refrain
We're marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We're marching upward to Zion
The beautiful city of God

The sorrows of the mind
Be banished from the place;
Religion never was designed
Religion never was designed
To make our pleasures less
To make our pleasures less

Refrain
Let those refuse to sing
Who never knew our God;
But favorites of the heavenly King
But favorites of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad
May speak their joys abroad

Refrain
The God that rules on high
And thunders when He please
Who rides upon the stormy sky
Who rides upon the stormy sky
And manages the seas
And manages the seas

Refrain
This awful God is ours
Our Father and our Love;
He will send down his heav'nly powers
He will send down his heav'nly powers
To carry us above
To carry us above

Refrain
There we shall see His face
And never, never sin!
There, from the rivers of His grace
There, from the rivers of His grace
Drink endless pleasures in
Drink endless pleasures in

Refrain
Yea, and before we rise
To that immortal state
The thoughts of such amazing bliss
The thoughts of such amazing bliss
Should constant joys create
Should constant joys create

Refrain
The men of grace have found
Glory begun below
Celestial fruits on earthly ground
Celestial fruits on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow
From faith and hope may grow

Refrain
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heav'nly fields
Before we reach the heav'nly fields
Or walk the golden streets
Or walk the golden streets

Refrain
Then let our songs abound
And every tear be dry;
We're marching through Immanuel's ground
We're marching through Immanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high
To fairer worlds on high

Refrain

Amy Grant

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”.
