Drew Miller - Grace Lyrics

Love, don't bury your hope too deep
They said, "This is perfectly normal
There is no cause for concern"
As they put your life inside a few boxes
And drove away with everything you had owned
Pleasant enough, they seemed
Like they had clearly done this before
And when you woke up from your dream
There was something that you couldn't ignore
It's crazy what they'd have you ignore
Love, don't bury your hope too deep
Lest it lives on still
There's nothing we've got that we get to keep
In time your hands will be filled
So love, don't bury your hope too deep
There's a grief older than you are
That you're not the first one to feel
If the precious things need our defending,
It's 'cause we gave ourselves permission to steal
But there's a grace older than you are
And you cry its tears on your face
Says, "If you're looking for something more lasting
Well, be prepared to come in last place
Be prepared to come in last place"
When they take their axe to the oldest tree
And the black sky's empty of stars
Believe in what you cannot see
When you no longer know where you are
So love, don't bury your hope too deep
Believe in what you cannot see
There's a grace older than you are
And the sun will stand still in the sky
There's a grace older than you are
And he'll wipe every tear from every eye
From every eye
When sunlight covers the newborn ground
And healing closes the scar
When everything you lost is finally found
Then you'll know where you are
Then you'll know where you are
Love, don't bury your hope too deep
