They put it on the market, the house where I was born
Twenty years of memories, hard to let it go
It was a mess when we found it but my father made it home
That’s where I began, that’s where I come from
Started playing melodies on Grandpa’s piano
Singing songs about Jesus, those times were special
And every day You show me, another part of my story
And there’s sure to be some hard times
But a whole lot of beauty
Fourteenth of December, we went and got married
Then we moved down to Nashville
Someday we’ll start a family, then we got some bad news
That mom had cancer and if she was still here
She’d tell us remember
These are the things that matter in life
Living in every moment cause I can’t stop the time
Tomorrow’s gonna be yesterday
So I don’t want to miss a thing
This is the story You’re building in me
You know all of my days
My tomorrows are covered in grace
You’re in the middle of it all
And I want to say I’m thankful yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, the story You’re building
