Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I was feelin' that, feelin' that breeze

Singin' like a song thru the tall oak trees

It was just another summer night

Had to be the last thing on my mind

Yeah, I was all but lost in the moment

I was young and runnin' wide open

It was just another summer night

Had to be the last thing on my mind


When love broke thru

You found me in the darkness

Wanderin' thru the desert

I was a hopeless fool

Now I'm hopelessly devoted

My chains are broken

And it all began with You

When love broke thru

And it all began with You

When love broke thru


I did all that I could to undo me

But You loved me enough to pursue me

Yeah, You drew me out of the shadows

Made me believe that I mattered, to You (You)


You were there, You heard my prayer in that broke down dusty room

It was the first time I said I'm Yours

The first time I called You Lord


When love broke thru

You found me in the darkness

Wanderin' thru the desert

I was a hopeless fool

Now I'm hopelessly devoted

My chains are broken

And it all began with You

When love broke thru

And it all began with You

When love broke thru


Yeah, it was late in the summer when the northeast breeze

Sang like a song thru the oak trees

Pennsylvania

She kind of caught my soul

Which had me a little more open than closed

Walls I built

Opinions I learned

Covered in the ashes of bridges I burned

Blind to the arrow that headed to my heart

But You hit the mark


When love broke thru

You found me in the darkness

Wanderin' thru the desert

I was a hopeless fool

Now I'm hopelessly devoted

My chains are broken

And it all began with You

When love broke thru


You found me in the darkness

Wanderin' thru the desert

I was a hopeless fool

Now I'm hopelessly devoted

My chains are broken

And it all began with You

When love broke thru

And it all began with You

When love broke thru


I did all that I could to undo me

But you loved me enough to pursue me
