Andrew Peterson - All The Way Home lyrics

Daniel hollered goodbye to the
Old river barge with a dream in his head and
A bride in his arms
Everyone said, "You're crazy"
But everyone longed to go

So from Memphis to Lakeport
My grandfather came six girls and a boy grew
Up in that Florida rain
They were carried along like leaves
On a river of faith they'd float

All the way home
They followed the tracks that
The saints have trod by the grace of God
They walked in the rain of His mercy
Let it soak them down to the bone
And they splashed in it's puddles
And danced in it's streams as they'd go
And, oh, they walked in the rain of His mercy
All the way home

I have slept in the house
Where my mother was born
And I've seen the sun set on the
Lake that gave birth to those storms
Well, they may not have walked on water
But, I know that their house stood firm

All the way home
Yeah they followed the tracks that
The saints have trod by the grace of God
They walked in the rain of His mercy
Let it soak them down to the bone
And they splashed in it's puddles
And danced in it's streams as they'd go
And, oh, they walked in the rain of His mercy

When they sat in their home
When they walked along the road
When they slept and when they rose
The words of the Lord were
Impressed on their minds
And after all this time
I'm carried along like a leaf
On a river of faith and I'll float

All the way home
Yes, I'll follow the tracks that
The saints have trod by the grace of God
I'll walk in the rain of His mercy
Let it soak me down to the bone
And I'll splash in it's puddles
And dance in it's streams as I go and, Lord
I'll walk in the rain of Your mercy
All the way home all the way home
