Grace came down and opened us like flowers
Love came flowing gently like a stream
Kept us safe for a little while
Till the waves rose higher and higher
We learned in time those waters must recede
Of this I’m sure
The past don’t own us anymore
Pain came ‘round and turned my soul stone hard
Floods came rushing up from underneath
Dark and lonesome memories,
I tried, I tried to make them leave
Why can’t I just make myself believe
Of this I’m sure
The past don’t own us anymore
We came into this love with hearts on fire
Didn’t think the rain could overwhelm the flames
Now we’re standing here with empty hands
Forgetting what we know
Forgetting what we know
Grace came down anew to feed the fallows
Love came showing us our deeper need
We grew wiser from the storms
Built our home on better shores
Found the fire burned more faithful than before
Of this I’m sure
The past don’t own us anymore
Of this I’m sure
The past don’t own us anymore
