Grant made her debut in 1977 under the guidance of Myrrh Records, and became the first Christian recording act to have an album be certified platinum. Following her marriage to Gary Chapman in 1982 and a subsequent deal between her record company and A&M Records, a series of successful pop-crossover records consolidated her position as both Christian music's highest-selling act and a formidable force in mainstream music, and according to Billboard magazine she was the most successful Christian recording artist of the 1980s and 1990s.
After giving birth to her fourth child Corinna Grant Gill, Grant returned to her gospel music roots with the 2002 release of Legacy...Hymns & Faith. The album featured a Vince Gill-influenced mix of bluegrass and gospel and marked Grant's 25th anniversary in the music industry. Grant followed this up with the pop release Simple Things in 2003. The album did not see the success of her previous pop efforts, and soon after the album, Amy and Interscope/A&M parted ways.
Grant released a sequel to her hymns collection in 2005 titled Rock of Ages... Hymns & Faith. Despite publicly musing that life would be easier if she weren't working, Grant joined the reality television phenomenon by hosting Three Wishes, a show in which she and a team of helpers make wishes come true for small-town residents. The show debuted on NBC in the fall of 2005, but was cancelled in November after 10 episodes. After Three Wishes was cancelled, Grant won her 6th Grammy Award for Rock of Ages.
In a February, 2006 webchat, Amy stated she believes her "best music is still ahead".
Amy Grant recorded a live cd/dvd album in early 2006 and it was released later in the year.
To date Amy Grant has sold more than 25 million records worldwide and is a 6 time Grammy winning artist.

Amy Grant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to go 'way (baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful, please don't hurry)
The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break the spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (oh, baby, don't hold out)
Oh but it's cold outside (baby, it's cold outside)
I simply must go (baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but, baby, it's cold outside)
This welcome has been (how lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (gee, your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (did I say your lips are delicious)
Well, maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I've got to get home (but, baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me your coat (it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I'm thrilled when you touch my hand)
Why don't you see (how can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you caught pneumonia and died)
I really can't stay (get over that hold out)
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside
Baby it's cold out, baby it's cold outside

She was crossing over...I was having bottles thrown at me in SF's Tenderloin as I preached the Gospel!
"Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."
Hebrews 12:14!
"For it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:16!
I couldn't afford any confusion. I absolutely KNOW who the enemy is!
JESUS IS RETURNING SOON!
ST JOHN 3:16! ❤️
HALLELUJAH! ✝️❤️✝️

80s and EARLY 90s.
Late 90s sucked. It started to become evil, satanic, and depressing.
