Long Way Home Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

re•creation

2011

(And a 1,2, a 1,2,3)
I set out on a great adventure
The day my Father started leading me home
He said there's gonna be some mountains to climb
And some 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

But I know we're gonna make it
And I know we're gonna get there soon
And I know sometimes it feels like we're going the wrong way
But its 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
My should've beens, and not yets
I keep on dragging around
And I can hardly wait for the day I get to lay it all down

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

When we can't take another step
Our 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
(Heeey yeah)

Well, I know we're gonna make it
And 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 that everything He says is true
And I know wherever we go
He will never leave us
Cause He's gonna lead us home (Aaaaah)

Every single step of the long way home
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)
(I know, we're gonna make it)
(We're just taking the long way home)
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)(yeaaah)
(I know, we're gonna make it)
(We're just taking the long way home)
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)(ooooh)
(I know, we're gonna make it) (ooooh)
(We're just taking the long way home)
Taking the long way home
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)
(I know, we're gonna make it)
It's just a long way home
