11| Love Took Away The Old (4:30)

I remember soaring in my swing,
so high that I could fly.
The day was so happy,
I didn’t need a reason why.
With the sun on my back,
and adventure on my mind,
what happened to this innocence,
Lord remind me of the time…

When You took my old,
and placed me within You,
and I became a butterfly,
dancing through the air,
I no longer had to crawl.
All because of love,
You restored my soul,
brought back my innocence,
when You placed me within You,
and love took away my old.

Schedules and distractions,
seem to occupy my days.
You whisper “child remember,
I’ll be with you all the way”.
When my life is raining,
we will weather the storm.
I know You will keep me safe
Lord and Your love
will keep me warm.

You took my old, and placed me Lord
in you and you made me a butterfly,
dancing through the air,
I no longer have to crawl.
All because of love,
You restored my soul,
and brought back my innocence,
when You placed me Lord in You,
And love took away,
love took away my old.

I grew up, I grew older,
let me approach You Lord with wonder.
Give me the heart
and the trust of a child.

You took my old
and placed me within you
and brought back my innocence,
I’m so grateful for that day,
when Love took away,
when You took away,
when Love took away my old.
