1974 - Amy Grant

We were young

And none of us know quite what to say

But the feeling moved

Among us in silence anyway

Slowly we had made

Quite a change--

Somewhere we had crossed a big line

Down upon our knees

We had tasted holy wine

And no one could sway us

In a life time

Purer than the sky

Behind the rain

Falling down all around us

Calling out from a boundless love

Love had lit a fire;

We were the flame

Burning into the darkness

Shining out from inside us

Not a word

And no one had to say we were changed

Nothing else we lived through

Would ever be same the same

Knowing the truth

That we had gained

Purer than the sky

Behind the rain

Falling down all around us

Calling out from a boundless love

Love had lit a fire;

We were the flame

Burning into the darkness

Shining out from inside us

Stay with me

Make it ever new

So time will not undo

As the years go by

How I need to see

That’s still me

Falling down all around us

Calling out from a boundless love

Yeah…

Burning into the darkness

Shining out from inside us

Purer than the sky

Behind the rain

Falling down all around us

Calling out from a boundless love

Love has lit a fire;

I am the flame

Burning into the darkness

Shining out from inside us

Purer than the sky

Behind the rain

Falling down all around us

Calling out from a boundless love.

(Ohh…)

Love has lit a fire;

I am the flame

Burning into the darkness

Shining out from inside us

Purer than the sky

Behind the rain

Falling down all around us

Calling out from a boundless love
