Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Took us 30 something years to see the light
It took a whole lot of tears and sleepless nights
It took the pain of wondering why, wondering why,
Oh why
But now I see every tear we've cried
Is a drop of purpose in the sea of life
And as the water washes over you and I
I can see something holy made of two broken lives
Cause we believe in something bigger than our own lives
We'll keep reaching for someone who's stronger than you and I
And I look back and marvel at the day
When I thought our world would be a perfect place
But now we see through a shattered frame
There's nothing more perfect than the picture of Grace
We can finally see the picture of Grace
Cause we believe in something bigger than our own lives
We'll keep reaching for someone who's stronger than you and I
We need a Savior, one who can heal what is broken tonight
Just one touch, just one word could set everything right
We need a miracle, we need a miracle
Take what is weak and fill it with life
We need a miracle, we need a miracle
Take this water and turn it to wine
[x2]
Cause we believe in something bigger than our own lives
We'll keep reaching for someone who's stronger than you and I
We need a Savior, one who can heal what is broken tonight
Just one touch, just one word could set everything right
