AMY GRANT In Concert Lyrics
1.Beautiful Music

Lyrics:Lanier Ferguson
Music:Lanier Ferguson

Once my life had no direction
I was lost as could be
I was 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
you gave me a brand new start

CHORUS:
Now there's beautiful music
Flowin' all through me
Just like You said
Angels singing, joy bells ringing
Inside my head
Since you came inside me
Now I am lost inside Your love

You gave me just enough
To make me hunger for more of You
Now I am 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 am so in love with You

Repeat Chorus twice


2.Giggle

Lyrics:Amy Grant
Music:Amy Grant

Chorus:

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 that I love Him...
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 they see me
Kill my pride I can't

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus

So giggle, giggle if you want to


3.Old Man's Rubble

Lyrics:Brown Bannister
Music:Brown Bannister

Are you living in an old man's rubble
Are you listenin' 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

Are you trying to live by your emotions
Are you puttin' 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

CHORUS:

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

Repeat Chorus

Are you puzzled by the way that you're behavin'
Do you wonder why you do the things you do
Are you troubled by your lack of resistance
Do you fell that something's got a hold on you

Well deep within' you there's a spiritual battle
There's a voice of the darkness and a voice of the light
And just by listening you've made a decision
'Cause the voice you hear is gonna' wint he fight

Repeat Chorus

BRIDGE:

But if you're living as a new creation
If you're listening to teh Father of light
Then you're living in a mighty fortress
And you're gonna' be clothed in power and might.

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus


4.Never Give You Up

Lyrics:Amy Grant/Marie Tomlinson
Music:Brown Bannister

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

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

Chorus:

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

I know You know me well
You know each 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.

Chorus:

I will never give You up Lord, not in a million years.
I will never give You up, for as long as I live.

I'm so glad I found You.
Want to build my life around You.
Oh, You've got to know that I'll never let go of You.

Repeat Chours and Fade


5.Mimis House

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.


6.Father's Eyes

Lyrics:Gary Chapman
Music:Gary Chapman

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.

Chorus:

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.
Knowin' 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

Repeat Chorus


7.Faith-Walkin' People

Written:Brown Bannister/Amy Grant

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 every thing
Just to teach me how to live.
And the secret of it all is trusting in You
And the wisdom to give.

Chorus:

Say goodbye to the feelings 'cause the feelings go away.
Say goodbye to the people 'cause the people never stay.
say goodbye to the future if it blinds you today.
Say goodbye tot he reasoning that's standing in the way,
Oh we've got to break away
Break away to be...
Faith-walkin' people can't rely on everything we feel.
Faith-talkin' people we must discern what's really real.
Faith-walkin' people can't believe in everything we see.
Faith-talkin' people seems like such a mystery.
And in all the earth there is nothing worth
Half as much as life with You.
'Cause the people and the things we're counting on here
Are gonna' pass away too.
I don't understand everything you've planned
but I don't really have to know.
'Cause you're giving me a joy that's filling my heart when I
learn to let go.

Repeat Chorus


8.Walking Away With You

Lyrics:Gary Chapman/Amy Grant/Chris Christian
Music:Chris Christian

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

(1st Chorus)

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 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
When 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 but You

(2nd Chorus)

When I'm needing someone to console me
Nearly dying for someone to hold me
I'm walking away with You
I go walking away with You
And 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.

Bridge

I don't notice if no one's around me
When I see that Your loving has found me taken by surprise
Like sunlight in a clouded sky
Then I'm dancing as light as a feather
Au revoir to the stormy weather
Walking from the night
To a never ending light.

(Repeat 1st and 2nd Chourses)


9.Mountain Top

Lyrics:Brown Bannister
Music:Brown Bannister

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

BRIDGE:
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 that mountain top
To the people in the valley below
Or they'll never know that they can go
To the mountain of the Lord

Now, praising the Father is a good thing to do
Worship the Trinity in spirit and truth
But if we worshipped all the time
There would be no one to lead the blind

Repeat Bridge

Now, I am not saying that worship is wrong
But worship is more than just singing a song
It's all that you say, and everything that you do
It's letting His Spirit live through you

Repeat Bridge


10.All I Ever Have To Be

Lyrics:Gary Chapman
Music:Gary Chapman

When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of help 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


11.Singing A Love Song

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....


12.Don't Give Up On Me

Lyrics:Gary Chapman/Amy Grant
Music:Brown Bannister

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 selfish
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.

(Chorus)

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 should start you believing
I'm changing 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 begin 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.

(Chorus)

Bridge
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.

(Repeat chorus) twice

Time and again I know I stumble
It makes me humble
Don't give up on me

Hanging on the things you see
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me

Hear me crying.

He'll remake me.
