Love love her! Have followed her since I was 18 yrs old
and now I’m 58! Time fly’s
In July 2020, I had exactly the same accident as Amy. Riding my bike fast on the bike path. Hit a pothole. The bike stopped, I didn’t. Landed on my right side on the path. Without the helmet, I’d be dead. Almost passed out but didn’t. Had a tbi. My memory both long and short were gone, cognitions were messed up. Headaches. Etc. took almost 2 years to recover. Like Amy, I simplified my life, learned to live in the moment and be eternally grateful that I survived the accident, am upright and mobile. I was 72 at that time.
The docs later told me I was lucky I survived. I guess I had angels watching over me!!!
Memory trouble is truly horrible, how I know that. Praise God you are recovering.
She is blessed to start over. God isn't finished with you yet. Her smile is still radiant!!❤
I always picture Amy from early 90s. Just crazy how life is a flash
I've had the honor of meeting and having a chat with her twice so far... each time, she was exactly the same...so genuinely kind, thoughtful, down to earth, looks you in the eye and listens, she lives very in the moment. What you see is what you get. Love her.
Exactly. I met her in 2006. So in the moment with me. And so tall and stunning too 🌹
That's awesome!
I met her in 96 or 97 she was very nice
Nice to know.🎉🇳🇬💚
You can tell what a fan the reporter-anchor is and he makes no bones in not hiding it 😊😊
Such a fan that he calls her song “Trees We’ll Never Know”?! Yikes. (Psst…it’s “Trees We’ll Never See.”)
Glad she is feeling better, she is wonderful
Thats a lovely speech there, so how are you doing today...
WOW !!! Praise God she's still here !!!!
She has been a witness to me, the past 35yrs. Such an inspiration to believe in myself.
My prayers for Amy are for continued recovery and thar she have no more medical issues for a good long while.
I have been a huge fan of Amy since 1988. Don't ask how I missed her earlier recordings, but I was led to Amy's music by God, after my mom passed at a young age and I was searching for a meaning and comfort in my life, and I went into a record store which I always went there every week, but this time I truly believe that God led me to the amy Grant section and I was not familliar with her music very much at all and I picked up Amy grant in concert vol. 1, and i did not know any songs on the album but i knew in my heart that God wanted me to buy the album and check it out and I did and i Loved what I heard. I bought all the albums of hers that I did not have and the rest is history. Amy is such a huge inspiration to us all. I have seen her 3 times in concert and loved every minute. She does not let success change her, So very down to earth. Yes, Amy is loved!!!
That’s beautiful, I love when God leads me to music. It’s a blessing! His love shines through it. God Bless You, Richard! I’m sorry for the loss of your mom, you’ll get to give her and God a big hug someday ❤️
Jesus Loves You 🥰❤️
So grateful to see that Amy was able to host the Christmas show and sing. Hearing her say the phrase “if I have no purpose” brought the tears! When I was 6-12 I used to sing along with her CONVINCED I sounded like her and she was the first person that made me feel that sense of awe. She has always stayed consistent. I will always adore her!
Good to hear about the details of your accident, Amy. Enjoyed your concert in Austin last week. You are still beautiful, and your voice is still strong. My first Christian concert was watching a film of your My Father’s Eyes concert in 1982. I was blown away by the wholesomeness that came through your songs and your chatter. Thanks for the music through all these years, and for continuing to live out your faith well to this day.
She isn't living out her faith well. She is pro LGBTQ movement.
What a great takeaway: WHAT IS MY VALUE - IF I HAVE NO PURPOSE?
God has given you such talent, grace, and beauty my friend, that He continues to use Him,
as you point people to GLORIFY CHRIST. Sure we all mess up along the way, no one is perfect, the church is a hospital for sinners who need the Great Physician and healing - may He heal each one of us, until the day He takes us home.
You have survived so much and went through so much.
None of it is wasted. Ever since I saw you decades ago (both young then)
at Knott's Berry Farm, and later Disneyland - you still a teen,
I've admired your voice, and enjoyed your songs,
it goes without saying you were every single Christian boy's heartthrob.
Thanks for all you do, God continue to bless you and yours.
A big fan in Arizona.
GREAT show in Des Moines, Iowa at Hoyt Sherman on March 28th! It was so entertaining I felt I was watching a variety show. God bless you for giving money to families in need. You are an angel Amy Grant!!
Blessings Amy!
Saw you in concert in Lancaster last night. I completely forgot you had had this accident. Seeing that hospital photo and the realization that you did have a helmet on and were still knocked out is mind blowing to me. You're a teflon angel Amy. And I still adore you. Thank you for your music and your giving heart. Huge love to you.
She looks great at 61 years old!
Wow is she really 61? I grew up listening to her music ( my junior year in H.S) and I’ll be 51 in a few weeks… time flys. I had no idea we were that close in age!!! She is so beautiful and talented!!!! I’ve always loved her songs ❤
I was just watching her mv's Baby Baby and Every Heartbeat which brought me here. Wow how time flies. So happy she is recovering.
I understand what she is going through. 5 years ago I had my first stroke. Two TIAs later that same year, and last year, an AIS stroke. I struggled to remember names of friends, and sometimes still catch myself doubting if I am remembering a name correctly. I have trouble remembering words I WANT to say...they are RIGHT THERE...but I can't get them! I was listening to some of her songs earlier I used to listen to all the time as a kid, and had to listen several times because I was having difficulty with the lyrics I had once absolutely had committed to memory. It's difficult when music is your entire salvation and life.
I hope Amy regroup and get back because we all miss you miss, I love you please get back to singing. I`ll pray for you bye....
No offense to Mariah but Amy s heartfelt lyrics and songwriting touch my life in a way , Mariah s never could.
This was a great interview. I remembered seeing a little bit of news regarding her bike crash, but either forgotten or didn't hear of her needing a teleprompter during her early recovery. Glory to God Almighty, for continuing to heal Amy and keep her on the right track.
I love her age to age album til this day
My favorite ❤
Praying for you Amy Grant 🙏🙏🙏 Thankyou for all your wonderful music 🎶🎶🎶
Amy Grant makes me wish I could be a Christian like her, and live in Faith the way she does. It will never happen as I gave up on organized religion years ago, but she makes you wonder if maybe it's worth it after all. Her husband Vince Gill wrote the most beautiful song this very quandry that he apparently had, in "When My Amy Prays." Wonderful woman and wonderful song; great little interview here, too. Thanks for posting.
It was a great Amy Grant interview! I didn’t know she had been in an accident! I’m glad she is back on tour, she is one of my favorite singers! Have most of her albums!
She also had open-heart surgery in 2020. The woman has been through it the last few years! I just saw her a few nights ago in concert, though, and I can report she looks and sounds as good as she ever did. Such a beautiful soul - her music has gotten me through some dark times, and I feel blessed that she and I have been on the planet at the same time.
Lead Me On, Amy Grant!
She is really nice, she shows something through her eyes
I love you Amy, as everyone l know does. So very glad your recovery is going well. You look wonderful. Take wonderful care.
Just when i think i can't love her more such a fighter
Baby baby song always my FAV. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂
Oh my god you are such an inspiration. Tennessee Christmas is one of my favourite songs for the life of me I can't remember the lyrics and I always stuff up. At the moment I can't remember the title to the song Oh How the years go by or something I can manage to remember the words one of my favourite songs. My mother calls herself a Christian whatever that is? And I'd love to record and sing Carry You for her. God willing it may eventuate.
I like her & all her fam, decent people❤❤
God bless you Amy Grant 🙏❤
Love it ❤️.
She was on 'the Song' show on circle channel last night and sounded great.
♥️
Hello there, how are you doing...
Sou fã de Amy Grant desde 1987.
Amy Grant is an angel! 🥰🥰🥰
She is great,I use to think she was Mariah Carey back in the day 😂
God bless you Amy. May God grant you a full recovery. "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord." - Jeremiah 30:17 ❤🙏
Love you amy grant!
Amy grant has been a light in my life for more than 40 years. When I need to simply things, I go back to 1984 or one of her other albums that will invariably bring us all closer to God.
I hope to see you in October Amy when you come to The Egyptian Theatre in Dekalb IL
Wow, I never knew this. 😕
But hey my dear Amy, you keep doing what you do ehh, and just keep belting it off the stage. 😁
😢😢😢
Wow…its all about her and not seeing the hand of God in her recovery and success.
That's an interesting & good observation. Did she mention JESUS, or did they edit it out? I think she didn't mention HIM.
Doubt it was said a lot or at all. We don't want to offend anyone. Sarcastic.... I agree Jesus is not out front I see Amy Grant. We are to decrease that He might increase. She is not what she sings about. Her passion is music not God. No surprise. Peace
Hosea 13:16
@@lisaberchtold2248 Agreed. I think she’s now into light Christianity.
@@perrywalton2464 Yup. Just a talented Church goer but not a Disciple or Follower of Jesus. Peace Brother. Maranatha
Wow I was watching her old videos . Didn't even know what happened until I stumbled on this recent video thank goodness she had that helmet ..
👍👍👍
Amyは昔は可愛らしくて素晴らしかった。そして年を取った今の顔はとても思慮深く、深みを増した表情をしていると思う。有り難うAmy‼️
You're such beautiful woman
PrettyPretty
Amy has had to endure the torture of going thru a public divorce and falling in love with a Country superstar, Vince Gill.
She's had more Christians pointing fingers at her for selling out musically and not staying with her first husband.
FHS -- remember the lesson in the Bible when the Jews wanted to stone the harlot and all Jesus said was "Whoever amongst you never sin, go ahead and cast the first stone".
Let this woman be, she's made some great music, influenced hundreds of thousands of Christian teenagers.
Whatever happened is between her and God
You people are so judgemental
There's no greater HATE than fundamentalist Xian "love".
Oh come on! You can get through it! I had severe head injury in 2017. Fell head first into bookcase. Hit front of my head. Affected my behavior. Im ok. I accepted the new me.
Good for you bish
Classy 😅
I was such a huge friend of hers in the early eighties But she didn't even mention God one time it's only because of the Lord that she's that's sad
Huh?
You didn't see the whole interview. and one doesn't have to say "god" every five minutes to be a believer in Him. And god forbid we give credit to the doctors and surgeon. And god could have stopped the accident but didn't.. so there's that.
Not really impressed. How easily they can become bewitched.

Matthew 7:1-2
I'm glad that she is well but she didn't mention the Lord Jesus, she didn't give him the Glory.
Odd seeing Amy on a network that would like to see God go away. Maybe it's a good thing.
I came up long side amy.. she was the prodigal daughter(loved by the world)..I loved her as well, because GOD kelp her in my life( to much to explain)..like hilsong in this hour(who could not give Glory to GOD)and I remember around that time GOD Said..remove your bike(we 2 servants parted ways with our bikes)that was the season of bike accidents all over the country...and we know the parable on pot/sinkholes...saying this ,Iam shock, that amy whom I aways called my sister..was knock off the bike by my FATHER..and believe me IT WAS GOD and I now know why..she has lost her way serving Not GOD but the world, to the point of not even mentioning GOD to these demons(the intire today show)..and satan promises a full house...none could speak GOD..no EL SHADAI here!..I have seen so many fall...so close, but Truth must be revealed before the end...I still love my sister and will keep her in thoughs even into judgment...2 servants...peacemakerservant1

Has my Aunt forgotten my due: inrept signals?
What about her heart surgery? Sounds like that would be a show stopper!?
For 10 minutes?
Oh dear. I fell down the steps of my apartment after having an asthma attack. I fell unconscious, & I should be dead.
I’m alive and I love Amy Grant. Come to Melbourne Australia please!!!!!!

Hi mrs Grant this is not accurate and saddenes my heart alot
Large,'chicken sausage', "pizza," has, been had.
I won’t be listening anymore God bless her. But if you can’t give glory to God for your health, I can’t hear your music.
I'm pretty sure she doesn't care if you listen or not. Go pray so Santa Claus about it. 🤣
Hosea 13:16
@@Joomlahacks because she made her money and her 15 minutes is over
I"m pretty sure she did.. the interview was longer than what was shown. They edit it down to sound bytes for the time constraint. And didn't your jesus warn you about NOT judging others?? Guess not even YOU follow him.
Not one word about Jesus?
I wish she had remained faithful to what the Bible teaches about human sexuality.
Lol.
WOKE
So glad I stopped listening to her music many years ago, such a bad example for Christians everywhere. Me, me, me ,me , me...
Ok thanks.
Amy hasn't ever been a Christian
Neither has your mom.
I am not sure if that is true. I do feel that she uses the Christian label to boost her image and record sales. Many other so called Christians do the same thing.
I have been thru a lot more than she has but I guess she is still a great person
She is wearing a neck decoration of sin... How could this woman be close to the Lord and support that?
You are wrong.
A rainbow is God's creation. What is wrong with you.
Maybee a thousand times more then she has
