Long Way Home by Steven Curtis Chapman



 

I set out on a great adventure
The day my Father started leading me home
Said there's gonna be some mountains to climb
And valleys we're gonna go through

But I had no way of knowing
Just how hard this journey could be
Cause the valleys are deeper
And the mountains are steeper than I ever would've dreamed

But I know we're gonna make it
I know we're gonna get there soon
And I know sometimes it feels like, we're going the wrong way
It's just the long way home

I Got some rocks in my shoes
Fears I wish I could lose
That make the mountains so hard to climb
And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes

There's a bag of regrets,
Should've been, and not yet
That keep on dragging around
And I can hardly wait for the day I get to lay all down

I know that day is coming
I know it's gonna be here soon
And I won't turn back
even if the whole world says I'm going the wrong way
It's just the long way home

When we can't take another step
The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms
And even on the best days,
He says to remember we're not home yet
So don't get too comfortable
Cause really all we are is just pilgrims passing through

Hey... Well I know we're gonna make it
I know we're gonna get there soon
So I keep on singing and believing
What all of my songs say

Cause our God has made a promise
And I know everything He says is true
And I know wherever we go
He will never leave us
He's going to lead us home
Every single step of the long way...

So keep on, we're gonna make it
I know, we're gonna make it
We're just taking the long way home
keep on, we're gonna make it
I know, we're gonna make it
We're just taking the long way home


So keep on, we're gonna make it
I know, we're gonna make it
We're just taking the long way home
keep on, we're gonna make it
I know, we're gonna make it
It's just the long way home
