All That I Need Is YouAmy Grant

Songwriter: Amy Grant

Lord, you know it's been a busy day
And I'm just weary to my bones
I hope you'll understand if I don't pray
But I need my rest to carry on

Why do I kid myself? You see my heart --
The me I try so to ignore
And Lord, you see how very weak I am
I just can't hide it anymore

But all of a sudden I knew
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you

Everytime when the doubting comes
And I seem to lose my way;
When I cry within
'Cause I need a friend
But I just don't say --
You know that I need you --
All at once it's clear
Even though you're here
I've tried to make it on my own
I'm not trusting you

Oh, Lord, you know
That I really need our time together?
Only your strength can see me through
So talk with me now
As you walk with me now
In this quiet time
I'm waiting on you

'Cause all of a sudden I knew
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you

'Cause all of a sudden I knew (I knew)
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you
All that I need
All that I need is you!
Is you!
Is you!

Is you

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”.
