Amy Grant

Children are sleeping
Tucked in their beds
The Night before Christmas
Has finally been read

Everything?s quiet under the tree
Baby, it?s Christmas for you and for me

Let?s light a candle
Put on some tunes
We?ve got til morning
To kiss and to spoon

I know you?re weary
We could both use some sleep
But, baby it?s Christmas
For you and for me

Close your eyes darlin?
I?ll tell you when
I know you?re wonderin?
How much did I spend?

Let?s start unwrapping
Ribbons and lace
I see the want to
All over your face

I?ll always give you your favorite things
Baby, it?s Christmas for you and for me

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”.
