All The Way Home

All The Way Home - Andrew Peterson

Daniel hollered goodbye to the old river barge

With a dream in his head and a bride in his arms

Everyone said You're crazy

But everyone longed to go

So from Memphis to Lakeport my grandfather came

Six girls and a boy grew up

In that Florida rain

They were carried along like leaves

On a river of faith

They'd float

All the way home

They followed the tracks

That the saints have trod

By the grace of God

They walked in the rain of His mercy

Let it soak them down to the bone

And they splashed in its puddles

And danced in its streams as they'd go

And oh they walked in the rain of His mercy

All the way home

I have slept in the house

Where my mother was born

And I've seen the sun set on the lake

That gave birth to those storms

Well they may not have walked on water

But I know that their house stood firm

All the way home

They followed the tracks that the saints have trod

By the grace of God

They walked in the rain of His mercy

Let it soak them down to the bone

And they splashed in its puddles

And danced in its streams as they'd go

And oh they walked in the rain of His mercy

When they sat in their home

When they walked along the road

When they slept and when they rose

The words of the Lord were impressed

On their minds

And after all this time

I'm carried along like a leaf

On a river of faith

And I'll float

All the way home

Yes I'll follow the tracks

That the saints have trod

By the grace of God

I'll walk in the rain of His mercy

Let it soak me down to the bone

And I'll splash in its puddles

And dance in its streams as I go

And Lord I'll walk in the rain of Your mercy

All the way home

All the way home
