Introduction
Imagine standing in the quiet of your home, the world outside bustling with noise, yet inside, there’s a stillness—an intimate moment shared between hearts. “When My Amy Prays” is one of those rare songs that feels like a whispered secret, a confession of love and faith that’s almost too personal to speak out loud. Vince Gill, one of country music’s most soulful voices, wrote this song as a tribute to his wife, Amy Grant. It’s not just a love letter; it’s a deep acknowledgment of how Amy’s faith has profoundly shaped his life.
The beauty of this song lies in its honesty. Vince doesn’t just sing about love; he sings about the doubts, the struggles, and the grace that comes through in those moments when Amy prays. It’s a raw, vulnerable look at how love and faith intertwine, and how one person’s belief can light the way for another. When Vince and his daughter, Corrina Grant Gill, perform this song together, it becomes even more poignant—like the passing of a legacy, a shared understanding of the power of prayer and love within a family.
You can feel every ounce of emotion in Vince’s voice as he sings, and Corrina’s harmonies add a layer of purity that’s almost angelic. It’s more than just a performance; it’s a living, breathing testament to the power of love and faith. This song isn’t just for the religious—it speaks to anyone who has ever found solace in the quiet strength of a loved one.

Lyrics
All my life I’ve known of Jesus
But that connection never came
And when my world was torn to pieces
I still couldn’t call his name
But when my Amy prays
When my Amy prays
That’s when I see his face
She gave me my first Bible
It sits right beside my bed
On the nights my hands are rattled
I turn the pages but its seldom read
And when my Amy prays
When my Amy prays
That’s when I feel grace
She’s got my back and she don’t judge me
She gives my heart some time to change
Even at my worst I know she loves me
She’s my shelter from the rain
And when my Amy prays
When my Amy prays
That’s when my hands raise
And when my Amy prays
And when my Amy prays
That’s when my hands raise
