Amy Grant Album

Once my life had
No direction,
I was lost as could be.
I was caught in a whirlpool (caught in a whirlpool)
Spinning around in misery.

I needed a friend,
You took me in,
And you touched my heart
With your song of love
And gave me a brand new start.

Now there's beautiful music
Flowing on through me
Just like you said.
Angels singing,
Joy bells ringing
Inside my head,
Since you came inside me. (Since you came inside me.)
Now I'm lost inside your love.

You gave me just enough
To make hunger
For more of you.
Now I'm hooked on your lovin',
And I don't want to break loose.

With my heart in my hand,
I'm yours to command;
Do what you want me to.
Just never let me go,
Lord, I'm so in love with you.

Now there's beautiful music
Flowing on through me
Just like you said.
Angels singing,
Joy bells ringing
Inside my head,
Since you came inside me. (Since you came inside me.)
Now I'm lost inside your love.

Beautiful music
Flowing on through me
Just like you said.
Angels singing, (Angels singing,)
Joy bells ringing
Inside my head.

Beautiful music
Flowing on through me
Just like you said.
Angels singing, (Angels singing,)
Joy bells ringing
Inside my head.

Giggle.
Giggle if you want to.
But I know it's still true.
That He's always gonna love me.
So just laugh out...
If you think I'm uncool,
Playin' the part of the fool,

'Cause I love Him!
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do!

When I see somebody cryin',
Some person who's real mean.
I want to quickly walk right by him,
But I'll stop for You.
Dear Lord, but
Must I hug him real tight now?
He smells so bad, I'll faint.
What will my friends think if I kill my pride, I can't.

Well, giggle.
Giggle if you want to.
But I know it's still true.
That He's always gonna love me.
So just laugh out...
If you think I'm uncool,
Playin' the part of the fool,

'Cause I love Him!
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do!

When I'm in a sticky situation,
Sitting in a class at school,
Everyone is talking evolution,
No one talks of You.
My hand goes up,
I don't want to be too pushy.
My arm, it feels like lead,
But there's such a joy they're missing saying, "God is dead."

So giggle.
Giggle if you want to.
But I know it's still true.
That He's always gonna love me.
So just laugh out...
If you think I'm uncool,
Always playin' the part of the fool,

'Cause I love Him!
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do!

Are you living in an old man's rubble,
Are you listening to the father of lies?

Are you walking with unnecessary burdens,
Are you trying to take them upon yourself?
If you are, then you're living in bondage,
And you know that's bad for your spiritual health.

And are you trying to live by your emotions,
Are you putting your faith in what you feel and see?
Then you're living just to satisfy your passions,
And you better be careful 'cause you're being deceived.

Are you living in an old man's rubble,
Are you listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble;
If you listen too long you'll eventually die.

Are you living in an old man's rubble,
Are you listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble;
If you listen too long you'll eventually die.

Are you puzzled by the way that you're behaving,
Do you wonder why you do the things you do?
And are you troubled by your lack of resistance,
Do you feel that something's got a hold on you?

Well deep within you, there's a spiritual balance;
There's a voice of the darkness and a voice of the light.
And just by listening, you have made a decision,
'Cause the voice you hear is gonna win the fight.

Are you living in an old man's rubble,
Are you listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble;
If you listen too long you'll eventually die.

If you're living as a new creation,
If you're listening to the Father of Light,
Then you're living in a mighty fortress,
And you're gonna be clothed in power and might.

But are you living in an old man's rubble,

There's never been a doubt,
But sometimes I feel afraid.
We need to talk it out;
That always makes it okay.

Sometimes friends don't understand
The love I have for you,
But everywhere I go, I know,
I just want more of you.

I will never give you up, Lord,
Not in a million years.
I will never give you up, never give you up,
Not for as long as I live.
I will never give you up, Lord,
Not in a million years,
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart.

(Oooo-oooh, oooo-oooh, oooo-oooh.)

I know you know me well;
You know the struggle that's in my mind.
But since you hold my heart,
I'll leave the struggles behind.

I don't have to understand
This love I have for you,
'Cause everywhere I go, I know,
I just need more of you.

I will never give you up, Lord,
Not in a million years.
I will never give you up, never give you up,
For as long as I live.
I'm so glad I found you. (So glad I found you.)
Want to build my life around you. (Oooo-oooh.)
Oh, you've got to know
That I'll never let go of you. (Never let go.)

Oh, I will never give you up, Lord,
Not for a million years.
I will never give you up, never give you up,
For as long as I live.
I will never give you up, Lord,
Not for a million years,
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart.

(Never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years.
I will (never give you up, never give you up,)
For as long as I live.
I will (never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years,
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart.

(Never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years.
I will (never give you up, never give you up,)
For as long as I live.

I remember many times when I was just a child,
How I played in that old house upon the farm.
With rocking chairs and squeaky stairs, all pieces of her world,
And a fire in her room to keep us warm.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

And now we're not as young as when I played there all the time,
And the visits seemed too scarce and far between,
But life goes on at Mimi's house, and in my mind I'm there,
With a fire in her room to keep us warm.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

And when I stop and think of how she's aging,
Growing strong and graceful in her God.
Well, you know it takes my fear away from aging;
She seems to know the secret that we'll never be apart.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

Yes, she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,

She's got her father's eyes,
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that find the good in things,
When good is not around;
Eyes that find the source of help,
When help just can't be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.

And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone.
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be,

She had her father's eyes,
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that found the good in things,
When good was not around;
Eyes that found the source of help,
When help would not be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through,
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.
My father's eyes,
My father's eyes,
Just like my father's eyes.

Well, it seems with You
There is something new
Every time I turn around.
Oh, I never really know quite what to expect,
But it won't get me down.

'Cause I know You bring
Each and everything
Just to teach me how to live.
And the secret of it all is trusting in You,
And the wisdom You give.

So say goodbye to the feelings,
'Cause the feelings go away.
Say goodbye to the people,
'Cause the people never stay.
And say goodbye to the future,
When it blinds you to today.
And say goodbye to the reasoning
That's standing in the way,
Oh, we've got to break away.

Break away to be
Faith-walkin' people,
You can't rely on everything you feel.
Faith-talkin' people,
We must discern what's really real.
Faith-walkin' people,
You can't believe in everything you see.
Faith-talkin' people,
Seems like such a mystery.

Daaa...da ba da dah-dat dah.
Da ba dah...da ba da dah-dat dah.
Da ba lat-dah dat dah.

But in all the earth
There is nothing worth
Half as much as life with You.
'Cause the people and things we're countin' on here,
They're gonna pass away too.

But I don't understand
Everything He's been,
But I don't really have to know.
'Cause He's giving me a joy that's filling my heart,
But I've learned to let go.

So say goodbye to the feelings,
'Cause the feelings go away.
Say goodbye to the people,
'Cause the people never stay.
And say goodbye to the future,
When it blinds you to today.
And say goodbye to the reasoning
That's standing in the way,
Oh, we've got to break away.

Break away to be
Faith-walkin' people,
You can't rely on everything you feel.

Da ba dat-dah dat dah.

He calls me to the darkness.
He tries to put some hardness
In my heart,
Pulling us apart.
He tells me that he needs me,
But lies are all he feeds
Into my life,
Day and night.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

There's nothing he can do,
His threat to me is through,
And I go walking away with You.

Lonely overtakes me,
Everyone forsakes me,
Friends are gone.
Pain is on.
Walls around my feelings,
Emptiness concealing
All my views,
All of You.

When I'm needing someone to console me,
Nearly dying for someone to hold me,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I'm,
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation,
I abandon the whole situation,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

Oh, what a fail safe plan,
Just staying hand in hand,
I'll keep on walking away with You.

I don't notice if no one's around me,
When I see that Your loving has found me,
Taken my surprise,
Like sunlight in a clouded sky....
When I'm dancing His light is a favor.
Au revoir to the stormy weather,
Walking from the night.
To a neverending light....

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

When I'm needing someone to console me,
Nearly dying for someone to hold me,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I'm,
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation,
I abandon the whole situation,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

I love to sing and I love to pray,
Worship the Lord most every day.
I go to the temple, and I just want to stay
To hide from the hustle of the world and its ways.

And I'd
Love to live on a mountain top,
Fellowshipping with the Lord.
I'd love to stand on a mountain top,
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar....

But I've got to come down
From the mountain top
To the people in the valley below;
They'll never know
That they can go
To the mountain of the Lord.

Now praising the Father is a good thing to do,
To worship the Trinity in spirit and truth.
But if we worshipped all of the time,
Well, there would be no one to lead the blind.

But I'd
Love to live on a mountain top,
Just fellowshipping with the Lord.
And I'd love to stand on a mountain top,
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar.... (Soar....)

But I've got to come down
>From the mountain top
To the people in the valley below;
They'll never know
That they can go
To the mountain of the Lord.

I am not saying that worship is wrong,
But worship is more than just singin' some songs,
'Cause it's all that we say and everything that we do;
It's letting God's Spirit live through you.

Still, I'd
Love to live on a mountain top
Fellowshipping with the Lord.
I'd love to stand on a mountain top,
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar.... (Soar....)

When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head,
And the thoughtful words of health and hope
Have all been nicely said.

But I'm still hurting,
Wondering if I'll ever be
The one I think I am.

I think I am.

Then you gently re-remind me
That you've made me from the first,
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst.

And I realize the good in me,
Is only there because of who you are.

Who you are...

And all I ever have to be
Is what you've made me.
Any more or less would be a step
Out of your plan.

As you daily recreate me,
Help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do
What I can find.

And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
All I ever have to be
Is what you've made me.

Well, I may not get applause every night when I sing,
And I may not hear the cheers of a crowd.
And my voice can't always rise to make the mountains ring,
And at times I can't even sing out aloud.

But you've got me singing a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time.
You've got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin' fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.

Sometimes my voice is strained and the strings won't hold a tune.
My back is sore, and I'm just too tired to try,
And I don't want to work or rest or think of you,
Or face the world or even close my eyes.

But you've got me singing a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time; I know that,
You've got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin' fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.

My broken dreams, they don't bother me,
And hard times in life I don't mind.
I think of things that I'd rather see,
And you give me piece of mind.

Hard times will come and sometimes I won't wanna sing,
But I'll sing with all the love that I can find.
And I'm happy there to hear me in the silence of my song.
I'm gonna sing for you until the end of time.

'Cause you've got me singin' a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time.
You've got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin' fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.

And it keeps you on my mind.
You've got me singin' a love song.
And it keeps you on my mind.
You've got me singin' a love song....

Don't give up on me,
Though I know at times it's hard to see;
All my many weaknesses
Might blind you,
I must remind you,

Don't give up on me,
Even when I act so selfishly,
All my views are all I see.
Yes, I know there's still so much of me,
But God is working constantly,
To shape me,
He'll remake me.

Don't give up on me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me,
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

Don't give up on me,
Even when I fail so miserably.
Time and again I know
I stumble,
It makes me humble.

Don't give up on me.
But never let your love to be
Hanging on the things you see,
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me;
I'm trying.
Hear me crying.

Don't give up on me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me,
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

I know much more than you
How very weak I am.
But He believes in me,
And so I know you can.

When all my views are all I see,
Then I know there's still so much of me;
But God is working constantly
To shape me,
He'll remake me.

Don't give up on me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me.
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

Don't give up one me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me.
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.
