Amy Grant

[Chorus][X2]
Lay down your burden
I will carry you
I will carry you
My child, my child

[Verse 1]
Cause I can walk on water
Calm a restless sea
I've done a thousand things
You've never done
And I'm really watching
While you struggle on your own
Call my name, I'll come

[Chorus][X2]
Lay down your burden
I will carry you
I will carry you
My child, my child

[Verse 2]
I give vision to the blind
I can raise the dead
I've seen the darker side of hell
And I've returned
I've seen those sleepless nights
And count every tear you cry
Some lessons hurt to learn

[Chorus 1]
Lay down your burden
I will carry you
I will carry you
My child, my child

[Outro]
Lay down your burden
I will carry you
I will carry, carry
My child, my child
I will carry you
My child, my child
I will carry 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”.
