Amy Grant

Songwriter: Kelly Willard Hadley Hocksmith Bruce Hibbard

There are burdens that I carry every day
Sometimes they want to make me cry
Hopeless feelings harbored deep inside my heart
And I find it hard to hold my head up high
In the middle of the darkness in my life
I find the strength to carry on
I am holding to a promise Jesus made
And I know it won't be long till we'll be gone

In a while, we'll be gone
And we won't have to cry anymore, no
All our sorrows left behind
And that's the day that I am waiting for
And that's the day that I am longing for

Oh....

If you feel there is no meaning in your life
And it seems you've lost your way
Listen closely to the voice that's deep inside
And remember what the Savior has to say

In a while, we'll be gone
And we won't have to cry anymore, no
All our sorrows left behind
And that's the day that I am waiting for
And that's the day that I am longing for
And that's the day that I am looking for

Oh....

Da, da da, da da, da da, da da, da da....
Da, da da, da da, da da....

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”.
