Lyrics After All These Years - Andrew Peterson

After All These Years

After all these years I would have thought
That all my fears were laid to rest
But I still get scared
And I thought that all my struggles would be
Victories by now but I confess
That the mess is there
But oh, I know the work that you began
Is coming to an end someday
'Cause you never let go.
You never let go
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
You never let go.
You never let go
Your love endures forever wherever I go
After all these years that’s all that I know.
Oh
From Illinois to Shiloh to The Warren
To the cliffs at Castle Rock
Well I’ve been longing for a land
But not everyone who wanders is lost
'Cause every road I walk
Is in the palm of your hand
Oh, there is a house with many rooms
Where I’m gonna be with you someday
'Cause you never let go.
You never let go
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
You never let go.
You never let go
Your love endures forever wherever I go
After all these years
You never let go, you never let go
You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold
You never let go
You never let go
Well after the years have gone and I have grown old
I’m gonna go home to the arms of a Father who never let me go
After all these years that’s all that I know.
Oh
You never let go.
Oh
You never let go.
Oh
