Amy Grant

Songwriter: Mark Wright Tim Marsh Gary Chapman

Don't take a ride from a stranger
No way to know where they go
You may be left on a long dark road
Lost and alone
Don't you recall what your Mama told?
You've got to learn hot from cold
When you're afraid that you might get burned
Where do you turn?

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to
You've gotta know who to, (ooooh....)
Who not to listen to
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to

(Who to listen to.)

How can you learn what is true and just?
How to know who to trust?
Here comes a man with a scam to sell
How can you tell?
You've gotta know there's a bigger plan
Room to fall, room to stand
Pray for the plan to begin in you;
Keep your heart true

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to
You've gotta know who to
Who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to

It's gonna hit you from all sides
Better make up your mind
Who to, (who to), who not to listen to

Everyone will have their words to say....
Find the word to help you find your way....

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...yeah...ah....)

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to
You've gotta know who to
Who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to

They're gonna hit you from all sides
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)

They're gonna hit you from all sides

Hit you from all sides
Better make up your mind
Who to, (who to), who not to listen to
(Who do you listen to?)

They're gonna hit you from all sides, (They're gonna hit!)
They're gonna hit you from all sides
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to

(Who to listen to.)

(You've got to know
Who to listen to.)

(You gotta know who to
Who to listen to.)

(They're gonna hit you from all sides
Hit you from all sides.)

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”.
