Introduction
“When My Amy Prays” isn’t just a song—it’s a window into Vince Gill’s soul, a heartfelt tribute that brings you face-to-face with the vulnerability of a man grappling with faith. Gill penned this song as an ode to his wife, Amy Grant, whose unwavering faith inspired him in ways he never expected. It’s a deeply personal ballad, where every note, every lyric, feels like it’s been plucked from the innermost chambers of Gill’s heart.
This isn’t just about love; it’s about respect, admiration, and the quiet power of belief. Gill’s voice carries a mix of awe and humility as he sings about Amy’s prayers, acknowledging how her faith has carried them both through life’s storms. There’s something profoundly moving about a man openly expressing how much he leans on the spirituality of his partner—a rare glimpse into the quieter moments of a marriage that we often don’t see.
Musically, the song is simple, almost sparse, allowing the weight of the lyrics to shine through. It’s the kind of song that feels like a private conversation—just Vince, his guitar, and the listener. The melody wraps around you like a comforting blanket, drawing you into the intimacy of the moment. It’s not just a song; it’s a story of love, faith, and the beautiful intertwining of two lives.
As you listen, you can’t help but feel a sense of reverence, not just for the music, but for the honesty behind it. “When My Amy Prays” is a testament to the quiet strength that love and faith can offer, and it leaves you with a lingering sense of hope that maybe, just maybe, we all have something greater watching over us.

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
