All the Way Home

Intro

Ooh, You lead me
All the way home

Verse 1

I was staring at the empty places
You were growing green beneath my feet
I was drowning in the noise of fear
You were calling me where waters sleep
There my restless heart remembered
I was never meant to walk alone
You don’t promise me an easy road
You just promise You will lead me home

Pre-Chorus

So I breathe again
I believe again
I can trust the road I do not understand

Chorus

You lead me all the way home
Through the valley, through the great unknown
When the shadows rise, I won’t be afraid
Your love is the light, and You are the way
My cup runs over, even here, even now
Goodness will follow me, mercy all around
You lead me, You lead me
All the way home

Post-Chorus

I have all I need
I have all I need
My Shepherd, You’re here with me
I have all I need

Verse 2

When the room is filled with enemies
You set a table and You call me near
You pour healing on my weary head
Till the voice of shame begins to disappear
I don’t need to see the whole horizon
Only take the next step as You go
Every place I thought would be my ending
Became a doorway leading me home

Pre-Chorus

Now I breathe again
I believe again
I can trust the road I do not understand

Chorus

You lead me all the way home
Through the valley, through the great unknown
When the shadows rise, I won’t be afraid
Your love is the light, and You are the way
My cup runs over, even here, even now
Goodness will follow me, mercy all around
You lead me, You lead me
All the way home

Post-Chorus

I have all I need
I have all I need
My Shepherd, You’re here with me
I have all I need

Bridge

Surely goodness, surely mercy
Will be with me all my days
Through the green fields, through the midnight
I am covered by Your grace
At the table, in the valley
Everywhere I go, I know
My Shepherd, You are beside me
And You’re leading me home

Bridge — Lift

Surely goodness, surely mercy
Even closer than my fear
Through the darkness, through the sorrow
You have always met me here
I can walk through every shadow
I can face what I don’t know
My Shepherd, You are beside me
And You’re leading me home

Final Chorus

You lead me all the way home
Through the valley, through the great unknown
When the shadows rise, I won’t be afraid
Your love is the light, and You are the way
My cup runs over, even here, even now
Goodness will follow me, mercy all around
You lead me, You lead me
All the way home

Final Post-Chorus

I have all I need
I have all I need
My Shepherd, You’re here with me
I have all I need

I have all I need
I have all I need
Not because the road is easy
But because You’re here with me

Outro

When the last light leaves the horizon
And this borrowed breath is gone
I’ll awaken in Your presence
Safe and finally home

You led me
You loved me
All the way home
