There was no place I hadn't been
Then I heard him gently say
Lose it all and find my way
So I gave it up, and found it all,
to time give everything me.
Well, I lost it all, but thank God I found everything.
Nobody saw, nobody noticed
Tore me apart and nobody saw how I died
Died inch by inch on the inside
the painful memories waited in line
love broke right through,
You walked heart by heart
And melted the barriers at last
The painful memories waited
You healed them all, hurt at a time
You healed them all, one hurt at a time
They just lost their dearest friend
All that he said, now he was dead
So this was the way it would end
The dreams they had dreamed
were not what they seemed,
now that He was dead and gone.
how could a night be so long?
The storm was blown away,
Death had lost and life had won,
shadows vanished before the sun
Death had passed and life had won,
into every fiber of creation
And He meant for us to all be
But when my Lord bought freedom
come through the ages from the hill
Through the lonely streets
Where prisoners have no key
You can be free, and you can sing,
through the holy streets,
where prisons have no gates.
You can be free, and you can sing,
