Amy Grant

Producer: Rick Elias

Where could I go?
Where could I run?
Even if I found the strength to fly

And if I rose on the wings of the dawn
And crashed through the corner of the sky

If I sailed past the edge of the sea
Even if I made my bed of nails, still there you would find me

Chorus

Cause nothing is beyond You
You stand beyond the reach
Of our vain imaginations
Our misguided piety
The heavens stretch to hold You
And deep cries out to deep
Singin' that nothing is beyond You
Nothing is beyond You
Time can not contain You
You fill eternity
Sin can never stain You
Death has lost its sting
And I can not explain the way
You came to loving me
Except to say nothing is beyond You
Nothing is beyond You

If I should shrink back from the light
Well, I can sink into the dark

If I take cover and I close my eyes
Even then, You would see my heart

And you cut through all my pain and rage
The darkness is my guard to You and night's as bright as day

Chorus

Nothing is beyond 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”.
