Amy Grant

Songwriter: Brown Bannister Amy Grant

I tell you the truth
You are looking for Me
Not because you saw miraculous signs
Because you ate loaves and had your fill
Do not work for food that spoils
I know a man who toils and toils
Work for the food that endures to eternal life
By faith believe in Me
By faith believe...
Then they asked Him what must we do
To do all that God requires
Jesus answered: "the work of God is this..."
To believe in the One He sent
To believe
To believe
Faith is being sure of what we hope for
And certain of what we do not see
Faith is being sure of what we hope for
And anyone is welcome to believe
What miraculous sign then will You give
That we may see it and believe
What will You do
What will You do
Our forefathers ate manna in the desert
As it is written
He gave them bread to eat
Bread from Heaven it's true
By faith believe in Me
By faith believe...
Jesus said, "I'm gonna tell you the truth..."
It was not Moses who has given you bread from Heaven
It was my Father who has given you true bread from Heaven
The bread of God is He who gives life to the world
Believe, believe in Me
Believe, believe...
Anyone is welcome...

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”.
