Never Alone is the third studio album by Christian singer Amy Grant, released in 1980 through Myrrh Records.
By this point in her life, Grant had entered her second year at Furman University and developed a budding relationship with studio songwriter and future husband Gary Chapman. The three songs from the album that they co-wrote obscurely describe their on-again, off-again dating relationship. Although Never Alone was not as popular as its predecessor, the 1979 album My Father's Eyes , it still managed to score a Top Ten Christian hit in "Look What Has Happened to Me".
The album is excluded from Grant's 2007 digital box set The Storyteller Collection, which encompasses all of Grant's non-Christmas studio albums from her 1977 self-titled debut to Simple Things (2003). Legacy... Hymns and Faith (2002) and Rock of Ages... Hymns and Faith (2005), were the other studio albums not included at the time of the box set's release. Never Alone's omission from the box set may also reaffirm the album's low popularity. [3]
