THE JOURNEY
By: Paul Humphrey (BMI)

VERSE 1: I PUT OFF GOIN' HOME FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER
ALWAYS TO BUSY, JUST DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME
IT DIDN'T SEEM IMPORTANT, MARY LOU AND I WERE COURTIN'
GOIN' HOME WAS THE LAST THING ON MY MIND

VERSE 2: FOR NEARLY THIRTY YEARS I WAS LOCKED UP IN SINS PRISON
NEVER REALIZING JESUS WAS THE KEY
ONE DAY A PREACHER CAME AND FOR THE FIRST TIME I LISTENED
HOW JESUS BOUGHT OUR PARDON AT CALVARY

CHORUS: SO TODAY I MADE THE JOURNEY
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THE LAST SUNDAY IN AUGUST
JESUS SAVED MY SOUL
I KNOW YOU PRAYED FOR ME
I KNOW YOU LAID AWAKE AT NIGHT
SO I MADE THE JOURNEY MAMA
TO LET YOU KNOW EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT

VERSE 3: I FEEL LIKE YOU CAN HEAR ME AS I LOOK DOWN AT YOUR MARKER
WITH A BROKEN HEART I STAND HERE ASHAMED
BUT YOUR PRAYER WAS ANSWERED MAMA WHEN I KNELT DOWN AT THE ALTAR
IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE GOD WROTE MY NAME
