Amy Grant Album

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.
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 dat-dah dat dah.

Always the winner, baby.
You're always the center, baby.
But don't you ever get lonely at night
When the clouds have gone away?

It's always,
You're showing her the lady,
Always the lady.
You're full of
Yourself, you know,
Gone crazy.

There was a time when you cared for their hearts,
And the need to show them love was tearing you apart.

But you changed, you know,
Become the star of the show.
Now you've got nothing to give;
Where is the truth you once lived?

You're just lonely.
Don't you feel lonely?

Turn out the spotlight, I'm tired. Turn out the spotlight.
My mind will die, Lord, I'm crying.

Oh, I'm to turn my gaze back, Lord, to you,
You're the only one who knows me.
Just mold me back to you.

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 will wait for the bridegroom,
I've awakened early to say,
I will wait for my bridegrooom,
I will wait for Him today.

I will give to him my impatience,
I will give him all of my fear,
I will make my heart very quiet,
I will wait for Him here.

In bright color,
In joyous line,
In morning light,
And lampfire.
I'll make fine my home here,
And trust in my home to come.

La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la laaa,
La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la laaa.

With loving care and with pleasure,
In the lamp light I will sing,
I will trust in my bridegroom,
I will give Him everything.

In bright color
And in joyous line,
In morning light
And lampfire.
I'll make fine my home here,
And trust in my home to come.

La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la laaa,
La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la la.

In bright color
And in joyous line,
In morning light
And lampfire.
I'll make fine my home here,
And trust in my home to come.

I will give to him my impatience,
I will give him all of my fear,
I will make my heart very quiet,
I will wait for Him here.

I will wait for the bridegroom,
I've awakened early to say,
I will wait for my bridegrooom,
I will wait for Him today.

It's a cold, cold world
That we walk in through.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
But it's warm as toast
Walking two by two,
Lay down the burden of your heart.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

It's a fine, fine line
Betwixt love and hate.
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart.
But you know it's love
That He offers you.
Lay down the burden of your heart.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

I never thought I needed someone
Till you came away.
How I ever lived without you
I don't know to this day.

There were times I could have done letter, I know,
But even when I fail you or your love
Would never let go.

You were there (You were there)
When I needed someone to talk to. (Talk to)
You were there (You were there)
When I could not find my way, oh,
You know you could have given up on me
When you'd see that nobody cared.
You were there!
You were there!

You know I've faced the same temptation
Time and again, (Time and again)
But how could someone leave this warmth
To go out in the rain.

No one else could ever offer me more
Then your love and your understanding,
A love I've never known before.

You were there (You were there)
When I needed someone to talk to. (Talk to)
You were there (You were there)
When I could not find my way, oh,
You know you could have given up on me
When you'd see that nobody cared.
You were there! (You were there!)
You were there! (You were there!)
You were there! (You were there!)
You were there.

O sacred head now wounded
With grief and shame way down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns thine only crown,
How art thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn.
How does that visage languish,
Which once was bright as morn.
What language shall I borrow
To thank thee dearest man?
For this, thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end.
O make me thine forever,
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, ever
Outlive my love to thee.

Lord, you know it's been a busy day,
And I'm just weary to my bones.
I hope you'll understand if I don't pray,
But I need my rest to carry on.

Why do I kid myself? You see my heart --
The me I try so to ignore.
And Lord, you see how very weak I am.
I just can't hide it anymore.

But all of a sudden I knew
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you.
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.

Everytime when the doubting comes,
And I seem to lose my way;
When I cry within,
'Cause I need a friend,
But I just don't say --
You know that I need you --
All at once it's clear
Even though you're here,
I've tried to make it on my own.
I'm not trusting you.

Oh, Lord, you know
That I really need our time together?
Only your strength can see me through,
So talk with me now,
As you walk with me now
In this quiet time.
I'm waiting on you.

'Cause all of a sudden I knew
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you.
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.

'Cause all of a sudden I knew (I knew)
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you.
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.
All that I need
All that I need is you!
Is you!
Is you!

Is you.

Fairytale.
My life was just a fairytale.
I was letting an illusion
Come into this heart of mine.
Fairytale.
Searchin' for a fairytale,
Hiding in a world
Where life was simple all the time.

I was just like Peter Pan in Never Never Land,
Afraid of what the future might be.
Afraid to face the things I couldn't understand.
Afraid of things that I couldn't see.

But fantasy,
I know there's more to life than a fantasy.
There's so much more that my life was meant to be.
So much more than make-believe.

Fairytale.
It seems just like fairytale.
But there's something in my heart
That says this time the story's real.
Fairytale.
Extraordinary tale.
Of a King who offers love
So far beyond what I can feel.

There's a world out there that human eyes can never see,
But it's just within the reach of the heart.
Two princes wages the battle for eternity,
But the Victor has been known from the start.

Now I can see
The truth can seem so much like a fantasy,
But make-believe was never as real to me,
I know this time the story's true.

Just like Sleeping Beauty in a neverland,
I was dying under a spell,
But then a Prince who comes from the foreverland
Awakened me from my fairytale.

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!

There will never be another
Who will love me like You.
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me.
There will never be another
Who could love me purely.
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are.
'Cause You had so much to lose, but still You gave it up
For your scars.
But that's the way You are.

And if I spent my life attending Universities,
Educated in the wisdom of men,
And if I could even quote a guy like Socrates,
Even then,
I couldn't comprehend

That there will never be another
Who will love me like You.
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me.
There will never be another
Who could love me purely.
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

And I know I'll never understand the mystery
If I live to be a hundred and three,
How You died to live the love you give to me.

That there will never be another
Who will love me like You.
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me.
There will never be another
Who could love me purely.
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

There will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

(A one...two three four.)

Someone's got to keep it on going,
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Don't you know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Don't you really know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Got to listen to me,
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
