"Everywhere I Go" is a 1985 single by

Christian music charts in the United States
.

"Everywhere I Go" is a somewhat downtempo inspirational song that features heavy use of the

Psalm
139."

Background

The lead single from

Christian music charts, but also gave Grant her first hit on pop radio (as well as the first-ever Contemporary Christian music song to chart on pop radio). "Everywhere I Go" capitalized on Grant's newfound mainstream success and was released to both Christian and mainstream pop radio. The song's lyrics, however, are somewhat more explicit with respect to Grant's Christian faith than those of the other Unguarded singles, which may explain why "Everywhere I Go" did not perform quite as well on the mainstream charts. In 1986, Grant released her first compilation album, The Collection. Both "Find a Way
" and "Everywhere I Go" were included, the only two songs from the still-new "Unguarded" to make the cut.
