The Song Story

 This song is a goodbye song for all those things that try to weigh us down in life. It’s a reminder that because of what Jesus did on the cross, we can say so long to our past, to our guilt, and our shame. I pray that this song will be an encouragement to you and build your faith no matter what season you’re walking through

About the Artist

Peter Burton

Hailing from California, Peter Burton is a singer-songwriter and worship leader whose songs seek to lead people to hope. His music tells the story of challenges that come with the human experience, instantly creating a sense of familiarity with others and pointing them to the faithfulness of God through lyric and melody.

Growing up as an overcomer of mental illness, Burton experienced the beauty of how blessing and suffering can go hand in hand and how faith can transcend feelings. His message is Hope personified in Jesus Christ – the foundation on which his life and artistry have blossomed.

Burton’s journey started many years ago in his local church. When music kept him connected to God through turbulent younger years, he found that his heart for songwriting and creativity could be expressed in worship. Since then, he has been leading worship and now seeks to also bring the hope he has found to people outside of church walls.

From touring and writing songs with CCM artist Lincoln Brewster to helping start Thrive Worship, Burton has been around the professional music industry for many years. He contributed to their first album which resonated with many and charted at #1 on Billboard charts.

After several years and projects with the band, he recently stepped into following the call to solo artistry, releasing music from his journey. His debut single, “Where Would I Be,” established Burton’s energetic and catchy sound whilst conveying a renewed sense of hope permeating his music. The song is currently #1 on Billboard Christian Airplay and spend 3 weeks at #1 on Billboard Christian AC and 2 weeks at #1 on Mediabase Christian AC! His new single, “So Long” just released to radio and goes for adds officially on June 5!

So Long (Lyrics)

For so long, I built a house of shame and locked the door
The only day I ever lived was the day before
The future looked like past and nothing more
But not anymore

For so long, I bought every lie the enemy sold me
Shackles of my sin I let him hold me
Thought I’d always only ever be the old me
That was the old me

So long
I’m leaving yesterday where it belongs
The devil thought he won but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say so long

To all the guilt I used to hang on to
Now I’m hanging on to what I know is true
The old is gone and I’ve been made new
Now I’m singing hallelujah

So long
I’m leaving yesterday where it belongs
The devil thought he won but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say so long

So long guilty
So long broken
So long judgment the cross has spoken
So long prison
Slave no longer
Sin was strong but grace was stronger

So long guilty
So long broken
So long judgment the cross has spoken
So long prison
Slave no longer
Sin was strong but grace was stronger

So long
I’m leaving yesterday where it belongs
The devil thought he won but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say so long

So long
I’m leaving yesterday where it belongs
The devil thought he won but he was wrong
This child of God is finally moving on
So hear me say so long

So long guilty
So long broken
So long judgment the cross has spoken
So long prison
Slave no longer
I’m moving on so hear me say so long
