Long Way Home Lyrics and Chords by Steven Curtis Chapman

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.
