Amy Grant

Songwriter: Amy Grant

"After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

After the stillness finds you
After the winds of change
All that is good and true between us
This will remain the same

Slowly, Slowly
We turn the page of life
Growing, Knowing
It comes at quite a price

After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

After your time of wandering
Along this lonely road
There will be many voices calling
Mine will say "Welcome Home"

Slowly, Slowly
We turn the page of life
Growing, Knowing
It comes at quite a price

After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

I will be here for you"

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”.
