[00:12.81]God of my fathers
[00:15.37]Huddled in the harbor
[00:17.19]
[00:18.38]Every man an ocean from his home
[00:21.44]
[00:23.39]Their captors could not keep them
[00:26.35]When they heard the drums of freedom
[00:29.55]The dream of a kingdom
[00:31.86]In a land they've never known
[00:34.60]
[00:35.40]And God of my fathers
[00:38.02]Strangers in this country
[00:40.58]
[00:41.59]Pilgrims on these dusty roads
[00:44.90]
[00:47.07]Across the great plains
[00:49.33]In the bellies of the steel trains
[00:52.74]To stake a new claim
[00:54.62]In that wilderness of hope
[00:57.31]
[00:58.42]Like my fathers I am looking for a home
[01:02.85]
[01:03.54]Looking for a home beyond the sea
[01:07.17]
[01:09.40]So be my God and guide me
[01:11.72]Till I lie beneath the hills
[01:14.09]
[01:15.84]Then let the great God of my fathers
[01:18.46]Be the great God of my children still
[01:22.67]
[01:34.06]God of my grandfathers
[01:36.62]Gone these many years now
[01:39.94]I guess they're shining like the sun
[01:43.36]
[01:45.62]And I envision them
[01:48.12]Grinning at the finish
[01:50.31]And they smile and they smile,
[01:53.14]'Cause they love to see me run
[01:55.69]
[01:57.31]Like my fathers I am looking for a home
[02:01.49]
[02:02.23]Looking for a home beyond the sea
[02:05.67]
[02:07.86]So be my God and guide me
[02:10.29]Till I lie beneath the hills
[02:12.79]
[02:14.16]Then let the great God of my fathers
[02:17.47]Be the great God of my children still
[02:22.85]
[02:36.58]Now we're counting stars and counting sand
[02:40.56]Little feet and little hands
[02:43.18]
[02:44.13]We're counting joys
[02:45.68]
[02:48.24]We pray you'll know them
[02:50.74]As you knew us when you wove us
[02:53.48]
[02:54.42]As you hold us
[02:56.42]Hold them, please hold them
[02:59.91]Like their father, they are looking for a home
[03:04.25]
[03:05.19]Looking for a home beyond the sea
[03:08.51]
[03:10.64]So be their God and guide them
[03:13.05]Till they lie beneath these hills
[03:15.93]
[03:17.12]And let the great God of their father
[03:20.36]Be the great God of their children
[03:22.74]
[03:23.30]Let the great God of my fathers
[03:25.48]
[03:26.04]Be the great God of my children still
[03:30.72]
