Amy Grant

I smile when I remember
All the things we did
The worlds we discovered
When I was a kid
Sittin' on your shoulders
I was riding high
All of life before me
I could see for miles

You gave me life to love
Show me the dreams I was dreamin' of
Told me, love was enough

When hard times come
Hard times come
Hard times come
To everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

Lately I've been standin'
On my own two feet
There's a pair of watchful eyes
Starin' after me
I will turn them toward the sunrise
Turn them toward the stars
Where the beauty of a new day
Will always fill the heart

I'll give you life to love
Show you dreams you're dreamin' of
Just let love be enough

When hard times come
Hard times come
Hard times come
To everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

Makin' your measure
What you're made of
Helping you galvanize the love

Cause hard times come
They come
Hard times come
To everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

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”.
