These were unbelievably great times back in the 1980's! We were listening to these great performers back then and we were all so young and there was so much ahead of us. Kinda makes me sad to think about how good things were back then versus today. The world has changed so much in such a short time and I just wish we could all go back to this wonderful period of time and be young and healthy again.

I grew up with these guys.Love their music. I'm in my late 40's and love listening to this music. When I feel down and things don't seem to be going right, I pull their music up and I feel so much better. The power of music and God!!! Thank you.
I had the good fortune of seeing Ms Grant back in the day right before she it the big big time with hits like the #1 hit "Baby Baby". Mr. Smith was right with her. A couple year later I got to see Mr. Smith in concert with supporting acts DC Talk and Renee Garcia. Both totally fabulous concerts!
@MrArpas123 God hates sinners? Na, man. God loves them, just like I still loved my abusive drug-addicted dad. Just because you want someone to change doesn't mean you don't love them.
SEE you sooon...Moda baby.........Portland Oregon!!!!!!!! We love you Amy and Michael and new up and coming young guy..w.e don't know your name yet...but we love you too...and welcome you with both arms......
They should have married. She married Gary Chapman the same year she hired Michael W Smith to be her piano player. Gary Chapman was cool. Michael W Smith was cool. I suppose Gary already had made her some hit songs so she went with him. Michael was probably thought of as a skinny little piano player. Michael and her would have made a better couple. I can't think of anything except $ that made her leave Gary and marry ugly Vince. I can't think of a time when Vince wasn't overweight
Not a Christian here. Never have been. I AM, however, a big fan of Amy. She's always been great and is truly on fire here. Listen to those light, highly melodic vocals and tell me she wasn't in her element. Then there's the smooth synthesizers, the throbbing bass, the hypnotic drums...and a blistering guitar solo to cap it all off. She was, is and will always be a queen. Simply stunning.
Love WILL find a way, if it is true love, if not then set it free and find that true love, not in another's arms. It will never work. Not in material wealth, it will fade. Not in substances, they will run out or your time will. Find true love within yourself. THEN you can love others so deeply, you bring them to their inner love within. Then you can share true love together.
i agree, along with david meece. they were my musical bread and butter from age 11 to today at 36. God used their music to save my life and through my darkest times. there were others before them, but these three put ccm on the map!!!
sou fa da amy grant...ate hj....michael tambem...teve um animal fez um simbolo do chifre do sata..cara tava no outro mundo....tava com coisa ruim...viu..nkkkkkkk
55 yo male who still loves this song. Bought this cassette as soon as it came out. Had the biggest crush on Amy back in the early 80's!! Those eyes, Wow!!!!!! We just have to be very careful that we are worshiping God the Father, and not the music, or the musicians. Very thin line that young Christians have to be very careful of. Other than that, enjoy the music!
See the HAPPY ppl. in the audience ALL=smiling/...& this is NOT: merely bkuz they are at a concert of celebrated, talented entertainers" either!!!! L-O-V-E is being "obviously felt/Believed-in here!!!!" /:
@sdsvfgs9 That's not the "satanic salute" - It looks similar but it's actually American Sign Language for "I Love You". If the thumb is out it's I love you. If it's just the pointer and the pinky out, it's the so-called "satanic salute."

Great video and guitar playing here and like what the song says but do not like the song that much. Thanks for posting Michael playing and singing in this song and Amy who is wonderful. The words hopefully will get people to God and figure out and work on their issues today.
I remember being a kid and I used to watch this video on VHS.. DC talk too. Oh the nostalgia.. even though I fell away from Christianity I still enjoy the music so maybe I'm holding on still inside..
+PhoenixOrichimaru I felt God tugging on my heart to talk to you. I understand that though. Sometimes we get trapped by the false prophets and weird traditions of the religious leaders of Christianity. however, Jesus still loves you and wants to grow in relationship with you. Like a real father, always caring and waiting for your response. He isn't limited to the traditions of man, Just call on him in your struggles. I promise you'll find peace in your heart if you do. Hang in there buddy. Jesus said: "Come to me all who labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)
i think by the time michael joined the band, he was already married. i agree, michael and amy could have made a great couple. as for amy and vince, that's for God to judge, not us. we don't know the story behind amy and gary's breakup. as for vince being overweight, it's all the porkchops she feeds him! jenny gill is the luckiest stepdaughter in the world!!!
Amy has talked A LOT about why her marriage with Gary Chapman didn't work out - and she knew a few months into the marriage it was in trouble. Amy stayed with Gary about 10 years (IIRC), but there were so many issues (Gary's addictions being one), Amy really fought to make the marriage work. But you get to a point where things are so broken you'll always see the cracks.
These were the best days of Amy Grant. She had such great music during this time period. I think her music peaked with the album Straight Ahead. The world and worldliness does corrupt. It's a pity so many artists used (and use today) the Christian music industry as a way to gain personal fame and fortune and spotlight themselves in the name of Our Lord. In the end, like their secular counterparts, they fall and fade. For those of you sitting in judgment over Amy and MW Smith, like Gerard here, do not think the artists you listen to today are any different, or that you are immune in your own way. I am blessed and humbled to have been able to profess my Christian faith for over 50 years--Most of my Christian friends have not lasted that long. In fact, I can't think of any. That's probably because the Catholic faith plummets the depths of God's reality in ways the non-Catholic Christian sects cannot--faaaaaact. (Standing by for the hate). See Mt 13 for details and watch that does not become you.
MWSmith was soooooo much cuter then, geesh, did the holy spirit affect his hair- what in the f happened??? Mullet=yuck. No beard= kinda gay...and Im gay. gee effing whizards!
Mid 1980s thing for guys with very straight hair to get a perm 1st and a haircut 2nd to give the illusion of having wavy or curly hair. MJS had a lot different hairstyles during that era.
Back when Christian music was at it's awesomeist
@Zain Lucian Definitely, I've been using Instaflixxer for since december myself :D
@@zainlucian6318 You're right, I don't so get lost heathen...
Saw her in concert in May 2023 and she was fantastic. Still gorgeous and gave it her all.
Just attended her Christmas concert with Michael W. Smith. They sang this song. It was incredible!

Don’t forget the incomparable Greg X Volz!
I used to listen to this song over and over when I was a teen. It meant so much to me back then and really spoke to my heart. Thank you Amy Grant!
Try "Where do you hide your Heart"
The laserdisc upscaled TH-cam vid is awesome
I wish they'd remaster the studio version of this song and add that guitar solo to it.
I felt like I had stepped back into the 80's while listening. Amazing talent on that stage. ;D
It's interesting watching the past... Gary Chapman singing back-up. I remember he was pretty vibrant on stage. Great song.
I grew up with these guys.Love their music. I'm in my late 40's and love listening to this music. When I feel down and things don't seem to be going right, I pull their music up and I feel so much better. The power of music and God!!! Thank you.
Very good.
Bass is killin it. Camera refuses to show them tho...
Just found this song yesterday for the first time I’m loving it. 29 and love Jesus, 80s and 90s music with awesome drums and synth
I had the good fortune of seeing Ms Grant back in the day right before she it the big big time with hits like the #1 hit "Baby Baby". Mr. Smith was right with her. A couple year later I got to see Mr. Smith in concert with supporting acts DC Talk and Renee Garcia. Both totally fabulous concerts!
I love Amy Grant! Takes me back to the 1980s! Thanks for posting this gem of a video!
All the early greats are here… MWSmith, Gary Chapman, Chris Rodriguez, David Huff et al…
These guys are so freaking talented. Also MWS's voice is so good you can still here it stand out despite the volume down and him singing backup.
Battle Mage back up singing is really good here. No huge male egos wanting to be seen nor super deep voices.
Just noticed MWS playing a Yamaha DX1. Only ~140 ever made!
two weeks later and this song is still at the top of my play list. simply awesome jt (john tompkins)
Such a great song and live performance
Michael W. Smith used to be hot!
i've gotta tell ya that group really found the way. that song has everything. how amazing i just happened to find it. jt
Wow just like the studio but live, she is amazing
Is that Chris Rodriguez on guitar?
@MrArpas123 God hates sinners? Na, man. God loves them, just like I still loved my abusive drug-addicted dad. Just because you want someone to change doesn't mean you don't love them.
I didn't know that Screech plays the keyboards and was into Christian music!
Saved by the bell dance song
***One of my very first favourate CCM songs. The sound quality on here is excellent...Amy's voice sounds great!
1. 50 to 1.56...the head...love the excitement...... YES....
SEE you sooon...Moda baby.........Portland Oregon!!!!!!!! We love you Amy and Michael and new up and coming young guy..w.e don't know your name yet...but we love you too...and welcome you with both arms......
What a happy song... I loved this song as a kid :)
If you don't like Amy why are you watching? Try fantasy land where everyone is perfect like you!
What a brilliant and Holy spirit filled summation ! Thank you !
The soundtrack of my life made by these great people and so many more standing in the gap...
Awsome Song, Amy She`s an Angel
They should have married. She married Gary Chapman the same year she hired Michael W Smith to be her piano player. Gary Chapman was cool. Michael W Smith was cool. I suppose Gary already had made her some hit songs so she went with him. Michael was probably thought of as a skinny little piano player. Michael and her would have made a better couple. I can't think of anything except $ that made her leave Gary and marry ugly Vince. I can't think of a time when Vince wasn't overweight
The story goes that Gary drank too much at least that's what Amy says 🙄
Not to mention that Chapman was insanely jealous of her success. He had some success in music but nothing like she has had.
Not a Christian here. Never have been. I AM, however, a big fan of Amy. She's always been great and is truly on fire here. Listen to those light, highly melodic vocals and tell me she wasn't in her element. Then there's the smooth synthesizers, the throbbing bass, the hypnotic drums...and a blistering guitar solo to cap it all off. She was, is and will always be a queen. Simply stunning.
Good times!❤
Great guitar solo.
80s gospel is 🔥🔥 but so underrated
Wow that was awesome!!!!!
Gary is getting down! Ive always loved her early stuff. I still listen to it! Thanks for the video!
Great song, I remember first hearing it on TBN as a child during the late 80's.
Love found its way regarding Amy Grant into my Heart Since The Eighties!
Love WILL find a way, if it is true love, if not then set it free and find that true love, not in another's arms. It will never work. Not in material wealth, it will fade. Not in substances, they will run out or your time will. Find true love within yourself. THEN you can love others so deeply, you bring them to their inner love within. Then you can share true love together.
I love your comment. Perfect!
her voice is angelic
St Elmo's Fire theme song stole their intro
mmm not really. Both songs came out about the same time. Just coincidence.
i agree, along with david meece. they were my musical bread and butter from age 11 to today at 36. God used their music to save my life and through my darkest times. there were others before them, but these three put ccm on the map!!!
Is it just me or does Gary Chapman look awkward on this video?
+W. James Wright He's probably wondering where and when he'll get his next fix.
this song will without a doubt be going to the top of play list jt
sou fa da amy grant...ate hj....michael tambem...teve um animal fez um simbolo do chifre do sata..cara tava no outro mundo....tava com coisa ruim...viu..nkkkkkkk
aqui no Brasil em 2017 ;)
Now I know where Elaine from "Seinfeld" got her slick dance moves.
I LOVE it every thing about it!
This song has elevated my spirit to stay steadfast and not look back
El Amor es el camino, gran cancion de Amy Grant ,cortina de radio Armonia,
Te quiero Amy... Ver En Chile

In which album appears this song?
What a gorgeous voice. Lovely lady that Amy Grant
Simple but powerful.

@sdsvfgs9 That's not the "satanic salute" - It looks similar but it's actually American Sign Language for "I Love You". If the thumb is out it's I love you. If it's just the pointer and the pinky out, it's the so-called "satanic salute."

Imma' Christian and you're right, (about the pot stirring)..... EVERYBODY thinks THEIR way is the ONLY way, when the only TRUE way is JESUS
@NilzetesouzaThe I'm really not sure what you were saying there. You should reread what you wrote. Are you not a native English speaker?
that's right
I like seeing Gary Chapman on Amy Grant's video of "Wise Up".
THE LORD SEE IT AND KNOWETH...DON'T EVER GIVE UP BUT PUSH FORWARD. MOVE INTO THE DIRECTION THAT WILL FULFILL YOUR INNER YOU.
Echo
soooooo '80's
How many in this crowd still keeping the faith?
como q pode uma cantora cristã fazer sinal satânico no show???? estou impressionado com a Amy Grant!!!!!!
I remember being a kid and I used to watch this video on VHS.. DC talk too. Oh the nostalgia.. even though I fell away from Christianity I still enjoy the music so maybe I'm holding on still inside..

Great to see Gary Chapman singing with them.
