Lyrics

I couldn't catch my breath
I almost worked myself to death
Thinking I could earn your love,
Be good enough to get to heaven
I had no hope to celebrate
Beneath the weight of my own burden

But you came
And every day became a holiday
Memories of my hollow days
Are scattered on a sea of grace
You came
And every day became a holiday
Disbelief was turned to faith
Love became a holiday

I played the perfect part
Thinking—I could justify my heart to you
But you revealed the truth to me
So I could see my true condition
What I thought was righteousness
Was nothing less that blind ambition

But you came
And every day became a holiday
Memories of my hollow days
Are scattered on a sea of grace
You came
And every day became a holiday
Disbelief was turned to faith
And love became a holiday

I could never keep up with what I had to do
'Till your freedom left me with peace and nothing left to prove

But you revealed the truth to me
So I could see my true condition
What I thought was righteousness
Was nothing less that blind ambition
But you came
And every day became a holiday
Memories of my hollow days
Are scattered on a sea of grace
You came
And every day became a holiday
Disbelief was turned to faith
And love became a holiday
