Grace came down and opened us like flowers Love came flowing gently like a stream Kept us safe for a little while 'Til the waves rose higher and higher We learned in time those water must recede But of this I'm sure The past don't own us anymore Pain came round and turned my soul's stone heart 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
