I am free
For the first time
Left my fears behind
In front of me
Is the open sky
I'm taller than trees
I can see
Further than before
Everything's different now
Now that you've ruined my life
You took my dreams
And stole my schemes
And turned my life upside down
You took my heart
Stole every part
And made it a miracle
Now I can sing
Sing a new song
My burdens gone
You gave me all the words and melodies
Now I can be
At Your feet
Your place for me
Everything's beautiful
Now that you've ruined my life
You took my dreams
And stole my schemes
And turned my life upside down
You took my heart
Stole every part
And made it a miracle
I'm wide awake
And tonight I'm saved
In Your arms
I'm singing of
How you made me a miracle
I'm taller than trees
I can see further than before
Everything's different now
You took my dreams
And stole my schemes
And turned my life upside down
You took my heart
Stole every part
And made it a miracle
You took my dreams
And stole my schemes
And turned my life upside down
You took my heart
Stole every part
And made it a miracle
Made it a miracle
Made it a miracle
Made it a miracle

Behind the Song:"For a while, this song was tentatively titled “You Ruined My Life.” It talks about how we sometimes have big plans for our lives and we get so caught up in how we want things to go, we become a control freak. Then all of a sudden everything gets turned upside down, and we think it’s ruined. But in hindsight, we realize that God just had bigger and better plans for us. The thing we thought was ruining our life turns out to be a miracle. It’s an incredibly eye-opening experience to see how God can completely turn around something you think is a disaster. The important thing is to be willing to go." - Mark Stuart (
