Amy Grant

Songwriter: Holly Lamar Keith Thomas Jerry McPherson Amy Grant

I want to look behind your eyes
And gently brush the hair back from your face
'Cause baby I just realized
Seeing you there in that light
It's better to be kind than right
And I'm about to bridge this kiss between us

Cause baby I'm ready to dig in
Ready for more than skin on skin
This is where love begins
So I say
I'm gonna tell you you're my man
Cause it makes you happy
And I wanna rush to hold your hand
You know it makes me happy
I'm gonna love you the best I can
Cause I know it makes you happy

I know I've made some big mistakes
I've learned the hardest lessons that way
So adios to foolish pride
I've got nothin' left to hide
I stand here open wide
And everything inside of me is sayin'

Baby I'm ready to dig in
Ready for more than skin on skin
This is where love begins
So I say
I'm gonna tell you you're my man
Cause it makes you happy
And I wanna rush to hold your hand
It makes me feel happy
I'm gonna love you best I can
Cause I know it makes you happy
And I wanna see you happy

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”.
