Amy Grant

Songwriter: Marie Tomlinson Brown Bannister Amy Grant

There's never been a doubt
But sometimes I feel afraid
We need to talk it out;
That always makes it okay

Sometimes friends don't understand
The love I have for you
But everywhere I go, I know
I just want more of you

I will never give you up, Lord
Not in a million years
I will never give you up, never give you up
Not for as long as I live
I will never give you up, Lord
Not in a million years
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart

(Oooo-oooh, oooo-oooh, oooo-oooh.)

I know you know me well;
You know the struggle that's in my mind
But since you hold my heart
I'll leave the struggles behind

I don't have to understand
This love I have for you
'Cause everywhere I go, I know
I just need more of you

I will never give you up, Lord
Not in a million years
I will never give you up, never give you up
For as long as I live
I'm so glad I found you. (So glad I found you.)
Want to build my life around you. (Oooo-oooh.)
Oh, you've got to know
That I'll never let go of you. (Never let go.)

Oh, I will never give you up, Lord
Not for a million years
I will never give you up, never give you up
For as long as I live
I will never give you up, Lord
Not for a million years
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart

(Never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years
I will (never give you up, never give you up,)
For as long as I live
I will (never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart

(Never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years
I will (never give you up, never give you up,)
For as long as I live

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”.
