Amy Grant

Songwriter: Trina Harmon Austin Cunningham

I'm looking for a way to feel you hold me
Feel your heartbeat
Just one more time
Reaching back trying to touch the moment
Each precious minute
That you were mine

How do you prepare when you love someone this way
To let them go a little more each day

The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonded to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful

Some days missing you is overwhelming
When it hits me
You're not coming back
And in my darkest hours I have wondered
Was it worth it
For the time we had

My thoughts get kind of scattered but one thing I know is true
I blessed the day I found you

The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonded to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful

The rules we stepped aside
The fear we defied
The thrill of the ride
The fire in our hearts that burned
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful

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”.
