Amy Grant

Songwriter: Rich Mullins

If you see the moon
Rising gently on your fields
If the wind blows softly on your face
If the sunset lingers
While cathedral bells peal
And the moon has risen to her place

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done
And thank Him for the things he's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Then thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you

If you look in the mirror
At the end of a hard day
And you know in your heart you have not lied
And if you gave love freely
If you earned an honest wage
And if you've got Jesus by your side

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done
And thank Him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done
And thank Him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you....

Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to 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”.
