Da reconhecida compositora e cantora estadudidense cujas canções cristãs com abordagens diversas, fazem parte de trilhas sonoras de filmes de Hollyhood como "Sr. e Sra. Smith", caso da canção " Big Yellow Taxi", e da internacionalmente conhecida "El Shaday" expressão máxima de louvor e fé no Deus revelado na Bíblia Sagrada.
Com legenda em português uma das mais agradáveis canções de sucesso de Amy Grant cujo tema é coisa comum do dia a dia e fazendo parte da vida e da experiência de pessoas adultas e comuns. De fato é o registro do olhar cristão sobre coisas universais afeitas a experiência universal dos seres humanos principalmente os que vivem contemporaneamente em grande parte de um mundo globalizado.
Se deseja ver a Amy em uma aparição mais recente e quando interpreta uma canção claramente "religiosa" que tal vê-la e ouví-la cantando "I Can Only Imagine" do grupo MercyMe?
I Can Only Imagine - Amy Grant
(Verse 1)
I can only imagine what it will be like when I walk by your
side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see when your face is
looking at me.
(Chorus)
Surrounded by your glory what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus? Or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence? Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?
Imagine, I can only Imagine
(Verse 2)
I can only Imagine all creation bowed down
The whole universe saying your name out loud
I can only imagine all our broken lives
Resurected in the healing light
(Chorus)
Surrounded by your glory what wil my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus? Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence? Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, I can only Imagine
(Chorus)
Surrounded by forgiveness what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus? Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence? Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine oh I can only imagine
I can only, I can only, I can only imagine
I can only imagine, Just imagine
I can only imagine, Imagine.
