Lyrics

Grateful for the Journey

Verse 1:
Lord, I'm grateful for this journey
every step of the way.
Though the road has changed with every bend
Your love remains the same.
For plush meadows and dark valleys
When I thought I was alone.
You've shown me time and time again
That I was very wrong.

Chorus:
Lord, I'm grateful.
So very grateful.
For every mountain for every valley.
You've used to make me strong.
Lord, I'm grateful, so very grateful
for the friendships and the laughter that help me carry on.

Verse 2:
Lord, i'm grateful for the laughter You have brought into my life
For the smiles of friends --the miles and then--You've helped my feet to trod.
For kind words and soft reminders
when You knew I lost my way.
You've shown me time and time again
How to grow through pain.

Bridge:
Though in my dreams I climb high mountains
the next day I fall down,
I'm still grateful for the journey
for the lessons I have found.
