Songwriter: Amy Grant

He calls me to the darkness
He tries to put some hardness
In my heart
Pulling us apart
He tells me that he needs me
But lies are all he feeds
Into my life
Day and night

When I'm losing my sense of direction
And I'm needing some strength and protection
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You, and when I
When I think I can't stand any longer
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You

There's nothing he can do
His threat to me is through
And I go walking away with You

Lonely overtakes me
Everyone forsakes me
Friends are gone
Pain is on
Walls around my feelings
Emptiness concealing
All my views
All of You

When I'm needing someone to console me
Nearly dying for someone to hold me
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You, and when I'm
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation
I abandon the whole situation
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You

Oh, what a fail safe plan
Just staying hand in hand
I'll keep on walking away with You

I don't notice if no one's around me
When I see that Your loving has found me
Taken my surprise
Like sunlight in a clouded sky....
When I'm dancing His light is a favor
Au revoir to the stormy weather
Walking from the night
To a neverending light....

When I'm losing my sense of direction
And I'm needing some strength and protection
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You, and when I
When I think I can't stand any longer
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You

When I'm needing someone to console me
Nearly dying for someone to hold me
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You, and when I'm
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation
I abandon the whole situation
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You

When I'm losing my sense of direction
And I'm needing some strength and protection
Walking away with You
I go walking away with You, and when I
When I think I can't stand any longer
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger
Walking away with You
I go walking away with 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”.
