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
