[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]
