My Idol, Amy Grant

I started listening to Amy Grant when I was about three years old, when my mom discovered her. Amy has a really unique voice, so beautiful, it almost sounds otherworldly. My mom and I are convinced that God sent Amy here so that people would realize how gorgeous His wonders can be. Mom even painted a mural on her bedroom wall of Amy Grant as an angel. We talk about her as if we know her personally (well, we *have* met her).

This is one of my favorite Amy Grant songs off of her Christmas to Remember album, "Welcome to Our World."

Welcome to Our World
By Amy Grant

Tears are falling
Hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised
We've been waiting
Welcome, Holy Child
Welcome, Holy Child

Hope that You don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make Yourself at home

Bring Your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
World now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart Whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world

Here's some song lyrics for you. On the 5th day of Christmas my true love gave to me... 5 golden tukes. 4 pounds of back bacon, 3 French toasts, 2 turtle necks, and a beer... In a tree
