God Of My Fathers |
| God of my father’s |
| Huddled in the harbor |
| Every man an ocean from his home |
| Their captors could not keep them |
| When they heard the drums of freedom |
| The dream of a kingdom |
| In a land they’ve never known |
| God of my father’s |
| Strangers in this country |
| Pilgrims on these dusty roads |
| Across the great plains |
| In the bellies of the steel trains |
| To stake a new claim |
| In that wilderness of hope |
| And like my father’s |
| I am looking for a home |
| I’m looking for a home |
| Beyond the sea |
| So be my God and guide me |
| Till I lie beneath these hills |
| And let the great God of my father’s |
| Be the great God of my children still |
| God of my grandfathers |
| Gone these many years now |
| Well, I guess they’re shining like the sun |
| And I envision them |
| Grinning at the finish |
| And they smile, and they smile |
| 'Cause they love to see me run, whoa |
| And like my father’s |
| I am looking for a home |
| I’m looking for a home |
| Beyond the sea |
| So be my God and guide me |
| Till I lie beneath these hills |
| And let the great God of my father’s |
| Be the great God of my children still, yeah, oh |
| So, now we’re counting stars |
| And counting sand |
| Little feet and little hands |
| We’re counting joys |
| We pray, You’ll know them |
| As You knew us when You wove us |
| As You hold us hold them |
| Please hold them |
| Like their father |
| They are looking for a home |
| Looking for a home |
| Beyond the sea |
| So be their God and guide them |
| Till they lie beneath these hills |
| And let the great God of their father |
| Be the great God of their children |
| Let the great God of my father’s |
| Be the great God of my children still |
| Oh, whoa |
