Long Way Home Lyrics and Chords by Steven Curtis Chapman

Song title: Long Way Home Lyrics

Steven Curtis Chapman

Intro

1st Verse

I set out on a great adventure,

The day my Father started leading me home,

Said there’s gonna be mountains to climb,

And valleys we’re gonna go through.

But I had no way of knowing,

Just how hard this journey could be,                                              

Cause the valleys are deeper

And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed

Chorus

But I know we’re gonna make it,

And I know we’re gonna get there soon

And I know sometimes it seems like we’re going the wrong way

But it’s just the long way home

Turn around

2nd Verse

Some rocks on my shoes,

Fears I wish I could lose,

That make the mountains so hard to climb,

And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes.

There’s a bag of regret,

Should’ve beens and not yets,

That keep on dragging around,

And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down.

Chorus  

Well I know that day is coming

And I know it’s gonna be here soon

And I know I won’t turn back even if the whole world

Says I’m doing the wrong way

Cause it’s just a long way home

Bridge

When we can’t take another step,                      

The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms,

And even on the best days, He says to remember we’re not home yet,

So don’t get too comfortable,

Cause really all we’re is just pilgrims passing through.

Interlude

Chorus

Well I know that day is coming,

And I know it’s gonna be here soon,

I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say,

Cause our God has made a promise,

And I know that everything He says is true,

And he promised He would never ever leave us

He’s gonna lead us,     He’ll lead us home,

Every single step of the long way       home,

So keep on, we’re gonna make it,

We’re just taking the long way home,

Keep on we’re gonna make it,

I know we’re gonna make it,

It’s just a long way home.

Declaration Of Dependence Lyrics and Chords by Steven Curtis Chapman

Song title: Declaration Of Dependence Lyrics

Steven Curtis Chapman

Chorus 

Now just the other day, I overheard a flower talking to the sky 

He said, you know that I would be nothing without you, oh, oh 

He said, you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine  

You're everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh 

And then the flower started singing a song 

Before I knew it, I was singing along 

And we sang 

Chorus: 

This is my declaration of dependence  

This is my declaration of my need 

This is my declaration of dependence 

On the One who gave His life to me 

Now, let me say that I'm the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself 

Don't want to ask for help, don't like to stop for directions, oh, oh 

But in reality, I'm nothing on my own   

Its by God's grace alone that I can make this confession 

All that I am and all I'm hoping to be  

Is all and only what He's given to me 

So I say Chorus 

Bridge: 

And I know this is how my life was meant to be 

I was made for this dependency 

On the One who has created me 

So I'll sing my declaration song  

For the One I am depending on 

And I hope you'll sing along 

King Of The Jungle Lyrics and Chrods by Steven Curtis Chapman

Song title: King Of The Jungle Lyrics

By: Steven Curtis Chapman



Well the day has just begun and I'm already runnin late
With too many irons in the fire and too much on my plate
I'd be pullin out my hair if I could just get one hand free
And I'd stop this world if I could find the key


Chorus
  
What I feel is tellin me I'm goin crazy
But what is real says God's still on His throne
What I need is to remember one thing    
That the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble

No Greater Love Lyrics and Chords by Steven Curtis Chapman

Song title: No Greater Love Lyrics

Artist: Steven Curtis Chapman


Man of courage with your message of peace
What is that look in your eyes?
Why have you come to this far away place?     
What is this story you would lay your life down to tell?
What kind of love can this be?


Chorus:


There is no greater love than this
There is no greater gift that could ever be given
To be willing to die so another might live
There is no greater love than this.


Verse 2
Broken hearted from all you have lost
How can you sing through your tears?
What is this music that can bear such a cost?
What is this fire that grows stronger against the wind?
What kind of flame can this be?


There is no greater love than this
There is no greater gift that could ever be given
To be willing to die so another might live
There is no greater love than this.


Bridge:


This is the love that God showed the world
When He gave us His Son
So we could know His love forever
Beyond the gates of splendor

Last Day On Earth - Steven Curtis Chapman

Song title : Last Day On Earth

I pull over to the side of the road and I watch the cars pass me by
The headlights and a black limousine tell me someone is saying goodbye
I bow my head and I whisper a prayer, Father, comfort their broken hearts
And as I drive away there's a thought that I
I cannot escape, No I, I cannot escape this thought
I can't get away

Oh, if this should be my last day on this earth
How then shall I live?
Oh, if this should be the last day that I have
Before I breathe the air of heaven
Let me live it with abandon to
The only thing that remains
After my last day, here on earth

If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last, last day here on earth

And if tomorrow comes to find me
Looking in the face of Jesus
Will I hear Him say the words "well done

Oh, if this should be my last day on this earth
How then shall I live?
Oh, if this should be the last day that I have
Before I breathe the air of heaven
Let me live it with abandon to
The only One that remains
After my last day
Here on earth

If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last, my last day here on earth

Cause this could be my last, this could be my last
This could be my last day

See The Glory - Steven Curtis Chapman

song title : See The Glory
I never did like the word mediocre
I never wanted it to be said of me, oh, no
Just point me to the job and I’d go over, over
Looking for the very best that could be
So what is this thing I see
Going on inside of me
When it comes to the grace of God
Sometimes it’s like
I’m playing Gameboy standing in
the middle of the Grand Canyon
I’m eating candy sittin’ at a gourmet feast
I’m wading in a puddle when I
could be swimming in the ocean
Tell me what’s the deal with me
(I know the time has come for me to)
Wake up and see the glory
Ever star in the sky tells His story, oh
And every breeze is singing His song
All of creation is imploring
Hey, come see this grand phenomenon
The wonder of His grace
Should take my breath away
I miss so many things when I’m consumed with
How could I trivialize it
This awesome gift of God’s grace?
Once I have come to realize it
I should be speechless and amazed
Wake up and see the glory
Open your eyes and take it in
Wake up and be amazed
Over and over again
God’s love is coming to you and to me
Wake up, wake up
Open your eyes

Lord of the Dance - Steven Curtis Chapman

song title : Lord of the Dance

On the bank of the Tennessee River
In a small Kentuky town
I drew my first breath one cold November morning
And before my feet even touched the ground
With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round
I started to dance
I started to dance

A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder
Footloose and fancy free
But it would happen, as it does for every dancer
That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see
And find a longing deep inside of me, it said..

CHORUS 1
I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
I am the eyes, I need the sight
I realize that I am just a body
I need the life
I move my feet, I go through the motions
But who'll give purpose to chance
I am the dancer
I need the Lord of the dance

The world beneath us spins in circles
And this life makes us twist and turn and away
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason
By the one who moves with passion and with grace
As He dances over all that He has made

CHORUS 2

Lord of the dance
Lord of the dance

And while the music of His love and mercy plays
I will fall down on my knees and I will pray

CHORUS 3

I am the dancer
You are the Lord of the dance

Treasure Of Jesus - Steven Curtis Chapman

song title : Treasure Of Jesus

What can I do
How can I live
To show my world
The treasure of Jesus

What will it take
What could I give
So they can know
The treasure He is

If I can sing
Let my songs be full of His Glory
If I can speak
Let my words be full of His Grace
If I should live or die
Let me be found pursuing this prize
The One that alone satisfies
The Treasure of Jesus

And if I can sing
Let my songs be full of His Glory
If I can speak
Let all my words be full of His Grace
And if I should live or die
Let me be found pursuing this prize
The One that alone satisfies
The Treasure of Jesus

Fashioned by God's hand and perfectly planned to be just who you are
     Dm9                                      Em
