Song title: Long Way Home Lyrics
Steven Curtis Chapman
Intro
1st Verse
I set out on a great adventure,
The day my Father started leading me home,
Said there’s gonna be 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 have dreamed
Chorus
But I know we’re gonna make it,
And I know we’re gonna get there soon
And I know sometimes it seems like we’re going the wrong way
But it’s just the long way home
Turn around
2nd Verse
Some rocks on 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 regret,
Should’ve beens and not yets,
That keep on dragging around,
And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down.
Chorus
Well I know that day is coming
And I know it’s gonna be here soon
And I know I won’t turn back even if the whole world
Says I’m doing the wrong way
Cause it’s just a long way home
Bridge
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’re is just pilgrims passing through.
Interlude
Chorus
Well I know that day is coming,
And I know it’s gonna be here soon,
I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say,
Cause our God has made a promise,
And I know that everything He says is true,
And he promised He would never ever leave us
He’s gonna lead us, He’ll lead us home,
Every single step of the long way home,
So keep on, 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 a long way home.
