She blew everything to pieces He's there hanging on to Jesus She broke everything about him down He said he never saw it coming Until the day she dropped the bomb And she broke everything about him down
Sometimes there's nothing left but to believe And suddenly all of it's behind you And I'm here to remind you That yesterday is gone so say goodbye And suddenly the skies open above you And someone really loves you Now everything's alive ... everything's alive
She's there broken into pieces But he swares he doesn't really see it When she says that all of it was so unfair But Hope road is just around the corner It's one place there's never been a foreigner 'Cause God's love makes everybody welcome there Sometimes there's nothing left but to believe
Sometimes it's in an instant Sometimes we wait for years But it comes down to the moment when faith eclipses fear Your wandering is over The other side is real You've broken through Your mountain moved And mercy is revealed His mercy is revealed, yeah
Yesterday is long Gone ....
And suddenly all of it's behind you And I'm here to remind you That yesterday is gone so say goodbye And finally the skies open around you And love has truly found you Now everything is alive Everything's alive ... everything's alive
Sometimes there's nothing left but to believe

Song Description: "After years of marriage, some people very dear to me divorced. "Suddenly" is about the pain that we may feel in that, and the forgiveness that waits. I guess it was my way of dealing with it and how it affected me. But it's also about the beauty of what they found in the aftermath; the beauty of His love filling them up past the dramatic ending of their marriage. I do believe that grace comes suddenly. It might not happen immediately, but when grace does come, you know it. And in an instant, you're free. Yesterday is gone and you're looking forward. And that's what the whole song is about. In a weird way, it's become one of my favorite songs. I don't know why, because it was my tenth song, meaning I almost didn't put it on the record, for a lot of personal reasons. I also felt like it was the least "me," stylistically. But I felt there was such a strong reason for it to exist, for people and for me, to get it out." - TobyMac
