Amy Grant

Songwriter: Wayne Kirkpatrick Amy Grant

This is one of those moments
When all that really matters
Is crystal clear
We are woven together
By whatever threads of life that have
Brought Us Here
We are stripped of all layers
We are getting to the core
Tell me something real and nothing more

'Cause I don't know why
I don't know how
And I don't know where
Maybe all I know is now

So I'm here between the bookends
Of everything that was and
What will be
There's a wealth of information
But not so many answers
It seems to me

So I face the unfamiliar
And nothing is clear
Only blinding faith can carry me from here

'Cause I don't know why
I don't know how
And I don't know where
Maybe all I know is now

Hold my hand and hold this moment
Time sure feels precious don't it
Life is always changing this I know

Repeat chorus

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”.
