Unafraid -- Amy Grant


Woke up this morning  With you in our bed  Going over and over
Everything you said  Who talk you how to speak  The words that you say
I've always wanted to  Be talked to that way  Love has made  Has made you unafraid

Watching my children  Finding their way  Thru struggles and triumphs
And heartbreak  I hope the roads they take  Are making them strong
I'll still be on my knees  Long after they're gone  Love has made
Love has made  Love has made  Has made me unafraid

My lovely mother  Is getting on in years  And the way her body's aging
Brings her girls to tears  The way she trembles with  Each effort she makes
She just says Heaven's  Getting closer each day  Love has made
Love has made  Love has made  Has made her unafraid
Love could make  Love can make  Love will make  Make you unafraid.       (sing365)

This poignant ballad is about Pop music singer-songwriter Amy Grant's mother. "Her childhood was not easy. Her parents divorced when she was two. Her dad died when she was a little girl. And so with us, she always had a kind of vulnerability. But I always knew she loved me. She was very gracious and kind. My mom would say things to me when I was growing up like 'Don't worry, Amy. A woman's most beautiful years are 35 to 45.' Which really takes the heat off when you're looking at pimples in the mirror, or even when you cross the threshold of being 21: 'Woo-hoo, you can order a beer.' But for her to have the wisdom to say when you're really going to feel beautiful, and that will translate to looking beautiful, is when you have life under your belt. I just love that. Totally took the heat off. Don't worry. Thirty-five, I'll be there."                                                            (songfacts)
