Amy Grant

Songwriter: Chris Eaton Amy Grant

Like it or not
Life is ours for the living
Only one shot
What's the advice you're getting?
Work hard in school
Learn the good rule and
Try to make good for you

No one could see
Hanging within the balance
Helpless me
I only want help to hear me
Evil and light
Caught in a fight
They're trying to capture me

But you cared about me now
Now and forever!

Chorus:
There'll never be anyone
Who can take the place of you;
There'll never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes
There'll never be anyone
Giving it all to pull me through;
There'll never be anyone, (there'll never be anyone)
Stepping in your shoes

Only through you
Sin on innocent shoulders
Could you undo
Darkness' power to hold us
Once for all time
Choosing to die;
I'll never deserve you

And you cared about me now
Now and forever!

(Chorus)
Oh....
Oh....

There will never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes
There will never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes

(Repeat Chorus Three Times)

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”.
