My Father's Eyes is the second studio album by then-teenage Christian singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 1979 on Myrrh Records. My Father's Eyes was a turning point in Grant's career. It gave her her first Christian number-one hit in the title track, as well as the Top Ten Christian hit "Faith Walkin' People." The album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary. It was certified gold in 1987.[5]
In 2007, like many other albums by Grant, My Father's Eyes was reissued by Sparrow Records, her current label.
