The story behind this song
They met over church-basement coffee and folding chairs, both of them carrying stories they'd barely survived. One was learning how to pray again; the other was learning how to trust the light. Neither was looking for love — just trying to get whole. Side by side through the broken years, the timing that never made sense started to make everything.
Later she held his hand the day he told the whole truth; he stood with her the morning her dad passed. They built on more than each other.
For the couple who know their meeting was too well-timed to be luck.
Lyrics
I wasn't looking for you
And You knew that, didn't You
And You knew that, didn't You
Church basement coffee, folding chairs
Both of us with stories we'd survived
I was learning how to pray again
You were learning how to trust the light
Both of us with stories we'd survived
I was learning how to pray again
You were learning how to trust the light
We thought we were just healing
But Someone had a plan
But Someone had a plan
Grace found us in the broken years
Right on time, though we couldn't see it then
Two half-mended hearts set side by side
And love came in where the cracks had been
Grace found us — grace found us
Right on time, though we couldn't see it then
Two half-mended hearts set side by side
And love came in where the cracks had been
Grace found us — grace found us
You held my hand the day I told the whole truth
I stood with you the morning your dad passed
We built this house on more than just each other
Three strands woven — that's why it has lasted
I stood with you the morning your dad passed
We built this house on more than just each other
Three strands woven — that's why it has lasted
The timing never made sense
Until it made everything
Until it made everything
Grace found us in the broken years
Right on time, though we couldn't see it then
Two half-mended hearts set side by side
And love came in where the cracks had been
Grace found us — grace found us
Right on time, though we couldn't see it then
Two half-mended hearts set side by side
And love came in where the cracks had been
Grace found us — grace found us
So if you're in the valley now
And the road seems like a waste —
We met in ours, we'd walk it all again
Every scar was leading to this place
(Every scar was grace)
And the road seems like a waste —
We met in ours, we'd walk it all again
Every scar was leading to this place
(Every scar was grace)
Grace found us in the broken years
Right on time, though we couldn't see it then
Two half-mended hearts set side by side
And love came in where the cracks had been
Grace found us — grace found us
Right on time, though we couldn't see it then
Two half-mended hearts set side by side
And love came in where the cracks had been
Grace found us — grace found us
We weren't lost, just on the way
Grace found us — grace still does, every day
Grace found us — grace still does, every day
