Lyrics

[00:01.12] 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]
