Amy Grant

Songwriter: Bruce Hibbard Gary Chapman Amy Grant

Lay down your failures and excuses
All of the dreams that never come true;
The past is a crutch you've been using;
Time you broke that thing in two
Open your eyes to tomorrow
Open your life to His care
Open your past to His mercy
Open your heart, He'll be there

We've got tomorrow;
There'll be changes made inside
We've got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride
If we just follow
God will lead us to His side
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up
You gotta move on to tomorrow

Yesterday's gone for forever
We'll never change a thing we've done
But the guilt is behind us
If our heart's moving on
Never give an inch (never give an inch) to disbelieving;
What God said, He's gonna do
And He said when He started
He's never gonna quit until He's through

We've got tomorrow;
Don't let trouble fill your head
We've got tomorrow;
You gotta believe what He said
Just follow. He'll be here until the end
So keep hanging on
Until you pick up
Until you move on to tomorrow

I know some things can take time
But I believe He changes minds
Tell me when are you gonna see?
All you gotta do is believe!

We've got tomorrow;
There'll be changes made inside
We've got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride
If we just follow
God will lead us to His side
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up
You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow)

Don't let trouble fill your head
We've got tomorrow (tomorrow);
You gotta believe what He said
And follow (follow). He'll be here until the end
So keep hanging on
Until you pick up
Until you move on until tomorrow (tomorrow)

There'll be changes made inside
We've got tomorrow (tomorrow);
Gonna take it all in stride
If we just follow (follow);
God will lead us to His side
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up
You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow)

Don't let trouble fill your head
Tomorrow (tomorrow)
You gotta believe what He said
Just follow (follow). He'll be here until the end
So keep hanging on
Until you pick up
Until you move on to tomorrow (tomorrow)

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”.
