Amy Grant

Songwriter: Dawn Rodgers

You are my first love
Sweet and gentle as the night
Just being near you now
Is like a lullaby

All that I have I give away to follow you
I can't imagine having life without you, oh....

When all thesee worldly battles
Seem to never cease
You simply lift me up
And rest me in Your peace

I heard some people say, You're only in my mind
I hope that someday, You'll choose to find them

All other loves will slowly fade
Like dying flame
Tomorrow, now, and yesterday
You're still the same

I wake with a longing heart to see you come again;
Your sweet and tender love will never end

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”.
