1974
Written by Amy Grant, Gary Chapman,
Jerry McPherson
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
