Andrew Peterson - God Of My Father |
| [00:05.89] |
|
| [00:12.55] |
God of my fathers |
| [00:15.17] |
Huddled in the harbor |
| [00:18.27] |
Every man an ocean from his home |
| [00:23.33] |
Their captors could not keep them |
| [00:26.12] |
When they heard the drums of freedom |
| [00:29.24] |
The dream of a kingdom |
| [00:31.79] |
In a land they've never known |
| [00:34.45] |
|
| [00:35.30] |
God of my fathers |
| [00:37.88] |
Strangers in this country |
| [00:40.89] |
Pilgrims on these dusty roads |
| [00:46.80] |
Across the great plains |
| [00:49.28] |
In the bellies of the steel trains |
| [00:52.50] |
To stake a new claim |
| [00:54.64] |
In that wilderness of hope |
| [00:56.99] |
|
| [00:58.40] |
And like my fathers I am looking for a home |
| [01:03.48] |
I'm looking for a home beyond the sea |
| [01:09.27] |
So be my God and guide me |
| [01:12.04] |
Till I lie beneath these hills |
| [01:15.09] |
Then let the great God of my fathers |
| [01:18.67] |
Be the great God of my children still |
| [01:22.98] |
|
| [01:33.93] |
God of my grandfathers |
| [01:36.58] |
Gone these many years now |
| [01:39.72] |
I guess they're shining like the sun |
| [01:45.51] |
And I envision them |
| [01:48.00] |
Grinning at the finish |
| [01:50.34] |
And they smile and they smile |
| [01:53.06] |
'Cause they love to see me run |
| [01:56.00] |
|
| [01:57.14] |
And like my fathers I am looking for a home |
| [02:02.14] |
I'm looking for a home beyond the sea |
| [02:07.78] |
So be my God and guide me |
| [02:10.56] |
Till I lie beneath these hills |
| [02:14.07] |
And let the great God of my fathers |
| [02:17.40] |
Be the great God of my children still |
| [02:24.01] |
|
| [02:36.47] |
So, now we're counting stars and counting sand |
| [02:40.33] |
Little feet and little hands |
| [02:44.00] |
We're counting joys |
| [02:48.18] |
We pray you'll know them |
| [02:50.75] |
As you knew us when you wove us |
| [02:54.30] |
As you hold us |
| [02:56.38] |
Hold them, please hold them |
| [02:59.44] |
|
| [03:00.11] |
Like their father, they are looking for a home |
| [03:05.09] |
Looking for a home beyond the sea |
| [03:10.63] |
So be their God and guide them |
| [03:13.21] |
Till they lie beneath these hills |
| [03:17.01] |
And let the great God of their father |
| [03:20.16] |
Be the great God of their children |
| [03:23.12] |
Let the great God of my fathers |
| [03:25.96] |
Be the great God of my children still |
| [03:32.28] |
