Amy Grant

Songwriter: Michael W. Smith Amy Grant

I call you on the phone
But you're not at home
Where do you go when you're hurting?
I hear you're down again
Lost the will to win
Why do you run when your hurting?
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now
So leave your cares behind
Oh, leave your cares behind

When you're feeling low
Let me let you know
That we're all sad sometimes
Jesus carries you
He's gonna see you through;
He'll never leave 'cause He loves you
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Tell me, where do you hide your heart?

Leave it all behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now
He'll never let you go
He'll never let you go

Where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go
It's so good to know
That Jesus will not leave us now
He'll never let you go
He'll never let you go

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”.
