Introduction
There’s something truly magical about hearing Vince Gill and his daughter, Corrina Grant Gill, perform “When My Amy Prays.” It’s not just a song—it’s a deeply personal story wrapped in heartfelt music. Written as a tribute to his wife, Amy Grant, this song takes us into Vince’s world in the most intimate way. You can hear the love, the gratitude, and even a touch of vulnerability in every note.
What makes this song special is its simplicity and raw emotion. It’s not filled with grand gestures or overly complicated lyrics—it’s just a man baring his soul, thanking his wife for her unwavering faith and the strength it brings into their lives. The line “I never prayed like she does” hits especially hard. It’s a beautiful acknowledgment of how Amy’s faith moves mountains for their family, even when Vince himself struggled with belief.
Corrina’s voice, joining Vince on stage, adds another layer of tenderness to the performance. There’s a generational connection that makes the song even more poignant. It’s not just about Vince and Amy—it’s about the legacy of love and faith they’re passing down to their children. The way their voices blend together feels like a quiet prayer in itself, a moment of family unity wrapped in music.
The song resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced the power of love and faith within a relationship. It’s a reminder that sometimes, when words or actions fail us, faith steps in. And even if we don’t share that faith, the love of someone who believes can carry us through our own doubts.

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
