In You Came - The Petersens (LIVE)

** FEBRUARY UPDATE: We are in rehearsals! It will still be a bit before we have the next video ready but we can't wait to be back!!! In the break @Katie Petersen has been writing more originals, check out her channel for the piano versions **

We couldn't think of a better way to start off the year than to share a video with the man who started it all, Jon Petersen. Dad had the idea to become a family bluegrass band, bought us all our instruments, and signed us up to perform wayyyyy before we were ever ready haha.

He and mom would sing us to sleep as little kids and "In You Came" was heard most nights in the Petersen household. Hope you all are blessed by it!

For everyone asking about Papa P's guitar, it is a 12-string (reverse-strung) Taylor 652ce, which he is fingerpicking, so plucking rather than strumming. The strings are in pairs, each an octave apart, and it takes some skill to play both at once but it gives such a beautiful sound.

►LYRICS - In You Came
It's been a long, yes, a long long time
Since I've seen a rainbow, smelled an apple pie
Played with the clouds passing by
Remembering those, those happy days
Splashing in the puddles after the rain
Will I ever see them again?

But then You came with Your arms open wide
Bringing back the rainbow after the rain
Bringing back the sunshine once again
I've often wondered why You want me
With all of my problems, child fantasies
All that I've done, who I am

And now and then I will cry
Knowing how I've hurt You time and time again
Really wouldn't blame You if You leave
But still You're there with Your arms open wide
Asking nothing of me, just of myself
You put the past behind me and then in You came

And I know now why You stay
Walking there beside me through thick and thin
Always there to guide me on my way
You're always there with Your arms open wide
Always there to turn to when times are sad
Giving me a smile to make me glad in You came
