Sitting back home dreams in my heart
I made the choice a brand new start
Through all the steps the long winding road
Prayed every night to lighten the load
Every click online for a sign to see
Then the news came my heart soared high
My visa approved tears filled my eyes
Mama's joy echoed a grateful cry
To my friends I'm sorry I couldn't share
It's how we travel full of silent prayer
Though the journey's tough I've no regret
For all You've done Lord I'm grateful yet
Arrived alone no one to hold
A place to stay in this land so cold
Needed a hand but had none near
Yet You came through erased my fear
In a one-room space I call my own
Rent that matches a year back home
Struggles I face yet I stand strong
With every bill I sing my song
To my friends I'm sorry I couldn't share
It's how we travel full of silent prayer
Though the journey's tough I've no regret
For all You've done Lord I'm grateful yet
To my friends I'm sorry I couldn't share
It's how we travel full of silent prayer
Though the journey's tough I've no regret
For all You've done Lord I'm grateful yet
Seven months passed the job came slow
Bills piled high but faith would grow
They call for help not understanding
The weight I carry the life demanding
I send what I can to those back home
With love and hope they're not alone
For every struggle for every trial
I thank You Lord with a grateful smile
To my friends I'm sorry I couldn't share
It's how we travel full of silent prayer
Though the journey's tough I've no regret
For all You've done Lord I'm grateful yet
For every blessing for every tear
For every moment You've been near
Through every storm I see Your light
I thank You Lord with all my might
To my friends I'm sorry I couldn't share
It's how we travel full of silent prayer
Though the journey's tough I've no regret
For all You've done Lord I'm grateful yet
Grateful yet oh grateful yet
For all You've done Lord I'm grateful yet
Grateful yet oh grateful yet
For all You've done Lord I'm grateful yet
