Grant, Amy - 1974 Lyrics






We were young
None of us knew 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

[Chorus:]
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
No one had to say we were changed
Nothing else we lived through
Would ever be the same
Knowing the truth
We had gained

[Chorus]

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
Burning into the darkness
Shining out from inside us

[Chorus]

    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…

    Me encanta

    I thought that this person was cute. I had a friend buy the CD for me because I enjoyed the songs on it. Then I found out she is a a religious screw job. I hope she gets support and the mental health care she needs. For her Schizophrenia. Anyone who talks to an imaginary Sky-Fairy should get professional help for their mental illness problem.

    P.... P....

    I never met one person who isnt a little confused. But automatically saying that someone is just crazy is an absolute statement. Hope no one ever does that to you😔

    P.... P....

    I love Sky Fairies! Give them a try!

  24. j.... ....

    I remember the very first time I heard this song. It was on the drive home from a Darren Lindley revival, and someone popped Lead Me On into the cassette player. I was so transfixed by the message and the mood it struck within me I had to pull over to the side of the road to listen to it again. And again. We were young, and none of us knew quite what to say....

    j.... ....

    these are not the lyrics

    j.... ....

    I became a Christian in 1975. I think this album came out in 1986, but on the very first listen of "1974" I understood. We all understood, I think.

    But, Amy, as the years go by, is it still you?

    j.... ....

    Uhhhhhhhh...Yeah, they are. lol

  25. L.... G....

    Love Amy Grant!!!
