AMY GRANT( 艾美葛蘭特 ) The Collection歌詞
1.Stay For Awhile

Written:Michael W.Smith/Amy Grant/Wayne Kirkpatrick

Long time since I've seen your smile
But when I close my eyes
I remember
You were no more than a child
But then so was I
Young and tender

Time carries on
I guess it always will
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still

Stay for awhile
Well it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Stay for awhile
And remember the days gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be

Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts
Clear summer days
Warm and lazy
Long walks, long talks, after dark
We vowed we'd never forget
Now it's hazy

Time takes its toll
And time alters our view
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you

Repeat chorus


2.Love Can Do

Written:Michael W.Smith/Amy Grant/Wayne Kirkpatrick

Who can say
Why she turned and walked away
I can't see
But she's gone away
Sometimes love
Means we have to stand and fight
Everybody runs
Everybody hides
No this ain't the movies
Now it's flesh and blood
And this one thing I'm sure of

Hey little girl running out so fast
Gotta stay put for love to last
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away
It's not like that
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay
No running
Love's coming back
Like only love can do

Love can do
Things you never thought it could
Mend a hurt so bad
Make you feel so good
Love's for fools
Wise enough to take a chance
Hear the music girl
Let me see you dance
No this ain't the movies
Now it's give and take
And it's your heart at stake

Repeat chorus

Hey little girl running so fast
Looking for the love you're sure will last
Why do you have to say it
Love has gone away
It's not like that
Love's not like that

Repeat chorus


3.Find A Way

Written:Amy Grant/Michael W.Smith

You tell me your friends are distant
You tell me your man's untrue
You tell me that you've been walked on
And how you feel abused

So you stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
I hear you saying you want to see changes
But you don't know how to start

Love will find a way (How do you know)
Love will find a way (How can you see)
I know it's hard to see the past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that
Love will find a way (A way to go)
Love can make a way (Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

I know this life is a strange thing
I can't answer all the why's
Tragedy always finds me
Taken again by surprise

I could stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
But I know that love can bring changes
And so we've got to move on

(Repeat Chorus)

If our God His Son not sparing
Came to rescue you
Is there any circumstance
That He can't see you through

(Repeat Chorus)


4.Everywhere I Go

Lyrics:Mary Lee Kortes
Music:Mary Lee Kortes

I was wasting time
Oh so sure to find somebody
Who'd never go
How could I know
None I'd found was true
None could be but you
The only one love divine
My heart, my mind are yours

Everywhere I go
I see your face through the crowd
Everywhere I go
I hear your voice clear and loud
Everywhere I go
You are the light that I see
Everywhere I go
You have found me

Where could my heart go
Where you wouldn't know to find me
Far, far from here
Still you are near to me

(Repeat Chorus)

I have seen you in the evening
In the morning light you hold me
Closer than the air around me
You surround me always

(Repeat Chorus)


5.Angels

Written:B.Bannister/Gary Chapman/A.Grant/Michael W.Smith

'Take this man to prison,' the man heard Herod say
And then four squads of soldiers came and carried him away
Chained up between two watchmen, Peter tried to sleep
But beyond the walls an endless prayer was lifting for his keep
Then a light cut through the darkness of a lonely prison cell
And the chains that bound the man of God just opened up and fell
And running to his people before the break of day
There was only one thing on his mind, only one thing to say

(Chorus)

Angels watching over me every move I make
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me every step I take
Angels watching over me

God only knows the times my life was threatened just today
A reckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way
Near misses all around me, accidents unknown
Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home
God, I know they're all around me all day and through the night
When the enemy is closing in I know sometimes they fight
To keep my feet from falling I'll never turn away
If you're asking what's protecting me then you're gonna have to
say

(Chorus)

Got Angels watching over me every move I make
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me every step I take
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me every move I make
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me every step I take

Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home


6.Thy Word

Lyrics:Amy Grant
Music:Michael W.Smith

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

When I feel afraid, think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me
Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

I will not forget your love for me
And yet my heart forever is wandering
Juesus be my guide, hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end

Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path

8.Where do You Hide Your Heart

Lyrics:Amy Grant
Music:Michael W.Smith

I call you on the phone
But you're not at home
Where do you go when you're hurting
Hear you're down again
Lost the will to win
Why do you run when you're hurting
Why do you hide your heart
Where do you hide your heart

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go
Oh you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now
So leave your cares behind
Oh leave your cares behind

When you're feeling low
Let me let you know
That we're all sad sometimes
Jesus carries you
He's gonna see you through
You'll never leave cause he loves you
Oh where do you hide your heart
Tell me where do you hide your heart

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go
Oh you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now
He'll never let you go
He'll never let you go

Where do you hide your heart
Where do you hide your heart

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go
Oh you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now
He'll never let you go
He'll never let you go

Lyrics:Richard Mullins
Music:Richard Mullins

Chorus:

Sing your praise to the Lord.
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing one more hallelujah.
Give your praise to teh Lord.
I can never tell you
Just how much good that it's
Gonna do you just to

Sing anew
The song your heart learned to sing
When He first gave His life to you.
The life goes on and so must the song.
You gotta sing again
The song born in your soul
When you first gave your heart to Him.
Sing His praises once more.

Repeat Chorus

Sing aloud
The song that someone is dying to hear,
Down in the madd'ning crowd
As you once were before you heard the song.
You gotta let them know
The truth is alive to shine upon the way
So maybe they can go
Sing your praises once more

Let the name of the Lord be praised,
Both for now and evermore,
Praise him, oh, you servants
Give your

Sing, sing, sing.


10.In a Little While

Lyrics:Amy Grant/Gary Chapman
Music:Brown Bannister/Shane Keister

Got a ticket coming home.
Wish the officer had known
What a day today has been.
Then I stumbled through the door
Dropping junk mail on the floor.
When will this day end?
But then your letter caught my eye
Brought the hope in me to life.
Cauase you know me very well.
And I bet you wrote me just to tell me

Chorus:

In a little while
We'll be with the Father.
Can'y you see Him smile?
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while.
we're just here
To learn to love Him.
We'll be home
In just a little while.

Boy, that letter hit the spot.
Made me think of all I've got
And all that waits for me.
Guess I've known it all day long.
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong.
When will my heart believe?
Wakin' half-way through the night,
Reachin' toward the lamp for light.
Pickin' up the Word I find.
Here's another letter to remind me

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Days like these are just a test of our will
Will we walk or will we fall?

Well, I can almost see the top of the hill
And I believe it's worth it all


11.El-Shaddai

Lyrics:Michael Card
Music:John Thompson

Chorus:

El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai
(God Almighty, God Almighty)
El-Elyon na Adonai
(God in the highest, Oh, Lord)
Age to age, You're still the same
By the power of the name.
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai
(God Almighty, God Almighty)
Erkamka na Adonai
(We will love You, Oh, Lord)
We will praise and lift You high
El-Shaddai
(God Almighty)

Through Your love
And through the ram,
You saved the son
Of Abraham.
Through the power
Of Your hand,
Turned the sea
Into dry land.
To the outcast
On her knees,
You were the God
Who really sees.
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.

Repeat Chorus

Through the years,
You made it clear,
That the time of Christ
Was near,
Though the people
Couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your Word
Contained the plan,
They just could not understand,
Your most awesome work was done
Though the frailty of Your son.

Repeat Chorus


12.I Have Decided

Lyrics:Michael Card
Music:Michael Card

Chorus:

I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer.
Turn my back on the deceiver.
I'm gonna live what I believe.
I have decided
Being good is just a fable.
I just can't, cause I'm not able.
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.

There's a wealth of things that I profess
I said that I believed.
But deep inside, I never changed.
I guess I'd been deceived.
Cause a voice inside kept telling me
That I'd change by and by.
but the Spirit made it clear to me
That kind of life's a lie.

Repeat Chorus

So forget the game of being good
And your self-righteous pain.
Cause the only good inside your heart
Is the good that Jesus brings.
When the world begins to see you change,
Don't expect them to applaud.
Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself
I've become the work of God!

Repeat Chorus


13.Too Late

Written:Amy Grant/Brown Bannister/Chris Christian

Chorus)

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle
Too late to try
Yes it's too late for sitting in the balance
No more middle line
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences
Time to choose your side
Yes it's too late for flirting with the darkness
Make up your mind.

Oh the time has come for making a decision
And you say you found the light
But the talk is cheap when I see the way You're living
Walking in the night

(Chorus)

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle
Too late to try
Yes it's too late for sitting in the balance
No more middle line
Oh, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line
Better get wise.

You may think you can live by your feelings
Different every night
But an emotional religion will crumble at our feet
If we're made to stand and fight
Well, it's too late for walking on fences

Time to choose your side
Yes it's too late for flirting with the darkness
Please make up your mind
Well it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line
Better get wise.

(Chorus and fade)


14.I'm Gonna Fly

Lyrics:Amy Grant
Music:Amy Grant

All of my friends are happy to stay
Here in this yard day after day
But something inside me has called me away
I don't understand but I know I can't stay

CHORUS I....

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'm lighter than air

Cause I have felt for the first time I can be myself
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly

CHORUS II....

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'll soar thru the air

All of my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly

BRIDGE....

If I had my life to live over again
I'd run barefoot, relax a bit more
And I'd talk to my children
And I'd learn how they laugh
And I'd teach them how I've learned to fly

Repeat chorus I...modulate...repeat chorus II

Cause all my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being this person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly... I'm gonna fly


15.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


16.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


17.Ageless Medley

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

Too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
And it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Are you puzzled by the way that you're behaving?
You wonder why you do the things you do?
Are you troubled by your lack of resistance?
It feels like something's got a hold on you.

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

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.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age, You're still the same,
By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
I will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.

I'm gonna fly.
No one knows where,
But I'm gonna fly.
I'm lighter than air.

And I'm gonna fly.
No one knows where,
But I'm gonna fly,
And soar through the air.

'Cause I have felt for the first time,
I can be myself,
No more faces to hide behind,
Just a smile,
And a dream that's mine.
Even if I am
The only one,
Who wants to fly....

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.
Her father's eyes, ya know.
Just like my father's eyes.... (Sing, sing, sing!)

(Sing, sing, sing!)
(Sing, sing, sing!)

Sing your praise to the Lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the Lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya,
Just to sing, sing, sing....

Come on, sii-hii-yiing!
You know you really gotta sii-hii-yiing!
Come on, sii-hii-yiing! (Sing, sing, sing!)

I have decided,
I'm gonna live like I believer,
Turn my back on the deceiver.
I'm gonna live what I believe.
I have decided,
Being good is just a fable,
I just can't 'cause I'm not able.
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.

Sing your praise to the Lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the Lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya,
Just to sing, sing, sing.

Come on, sii-hii-yiing,
We've all gotta sii-hii-yiiiiiing!
Come on, sing, sing, sing!
