House of Love is the
14th album by singer-songwriter Amy Grant,
released in 1994 (see 1994 in music).
House of Love was Amy's follow-up to her
quintuple-platinum 1991 release Heart in Motion. Although House of
Love sold less than half of what its predecessor sold, it similarly combines
pop music with Christian values. "Lucky One" was the album's biggest
hit at No. 18 Pop and No. 2 Adult Contemporary in the U.S., followed by the
title song and a remake of Joni Mitchell's
"Big Yellow Taxi".
"Say You'll Be Mine" also was a UK Top 50 hit. When it was released
in 1994, House of Love was the biggest initial release in Christian music
history, shipping almost a half million copies on its first day alone.
Chorus:
Well,
I bet you any amount of money
He'll
be coming back to you
Ooh,
I know there ain't no doubt about it
Ooh, house of love
You've been up all night
Thinking it was over
He's been out of sight
At least for the moment
But when something this strong
Sometimes
life is funny
You
think you're in your darkest hour
When
the lights are coming on in the house of love
Ooh,
Gets a hold on you
The
odds are ninety-nine to one
It's
got a hold on him tôo
(Repeat
Chorus)
When
the lights are coming on in the house of love
Now
when the house is dark
And
you're all alone inside
You've
gotta listen to your heart
And
put away your foolish pride
Though
the storm is breaking
And
thunder shakes the walls
Love
with a firm foundation
Ain't
never, never, never gonna fall
(Repeat
Chorus)
Though
the storm is breaking
And
thunder shakes the walls
Love
with a firm foundation
Ain't
never, never, never gonna fall
Well,
I bet you any amount of money
He'll
come back to you
Ooh,
I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes
life is funny
You
think you're in your darkest hour
When
the lights are coming, lights are coming on
Well,
I bet you any amount of money, baby
He'll
be coming back to you
Back
to you, back to you
Ooh,
I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes
life is funny
You
think you're in your darkest hour
When
the lights are coming on in the house of love
Oooh,
yeah
Ooh,
I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes
life is funny
You
think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love
