    Behind The Song: Ellie Holcomb Shares The Heart Behind Her Song “Canyon”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 28 July, 2021 | 3

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Ellie Holcomb. We’re excited to share with you the story behind her song “Canyon.”

    So I had the privilege of going to the Grand Canyon for the first time in my life. I will never forget out our guide explaining to us as we’re surrounded by these canyon walls, that the canyon walls tell a story. It’s a story of disaster upon disaster. A flood, a volcano, a mudslide and an earthquake. I just remember being struck that it felt like such a picture of what is happening in our world, in our country and in our hearts right now. We know what it is to be broken, to have our hearts split wide open like a canyon. But there in the middle of all that division, in all of that pain, in all of that brokenness is a river running through to bring refreshment, hope, new life. – Ellie Holcomb

    “Canyon” Lyrics

    The shape of your love is a mystery
    The shape of your love is falling rain
    There in my deepest ache, you are whispering
    That the cracks of my broken heart
    will let you in

    And there’s a river running through my deepest sorrow
    There’s a river running through my deepest pain
    There’s a river running through every dream that never came true
    Made me a canyon, but there’s a river running through

    I’m a canyon, I’m a canyon
    But there’s a river running through

    The shape of your love is a mystery
    Walks through prison doors and hands out all the keys
    You move through the dark, you’re holy wind
    And the cracks of my broken heart, they breath you in

    And there’s a river running through my deepest sorrow
    There’s a river running through my deepest pain
    There’s a river running through every dream that never came true
    Made me a canyon, but there’s a river running through

    I’m a canyon, I’m a canyon
    But there’s a river running through

    I walked into the desert and I found you
    You set a table for me
    in the presence of my enemies, to share with my enemies
    No longer my enemies, no longer my enemies
    No longer my enemies

    And there’s a river running through our deepest sorrow
    There’s a river running through our deepest pain
    There’s a river running through every dream that never came true
    Made us a canyon/cut a canyon, but there’s a river running through

    We’re a canyon, We’re a canyon
    But there’s a river running through

    We’re a canyon, We’re a canyon
    But there’s a river running through
