Jesus

I used to walk this winding road with nothing but my pride

I kept You at a distance, just a shadow at my side

I left You just far enough, but still within Your view

Trying to fight my battles without leaning into You

But with a passionate patience, You watched me from above

Pouring out a steady stream of undeniable love

Oh, my Gracious Redeemer, my Father and my Friend

Your limitless giving is a well that has no end

Thank You for staying when I tried to walk away

Every setback was Your grace, shaping up my clay

You were making me stronger as the years went rolling by

Getting me ready for that WV deer mountain sky

I’d make it through a valley and I’d celebrate to the world

Taking all the credit as my banners were unfurled

I forgot the sacrificed suffering You carried on the cross

I thought I was the victor when my soul was truly lost

But You never left my corner, You carried every weight

Protecting me from ruin, always keeping my path straight

Oh, my Gracious Redeemer, my Father and my Friend

Your limitless giving is a well that has no end

Thank You for staying when I tried to walk away

Every setback was Your grace, shaping up my clay

You were making me stronger as the years went rolling by

Getting me ready for that WV deer mountain sky

Then I stood up on that ridge in the West Virginia breeze

And the weight of my own weakness finally brought me to my knees

I turned to You and told You, "I can't do this anymore.

I need You right in front of me, leading through the door."

No more standing in the background, no more living blind

I surrendered on that mountain and left my past behind

Oh, my Gracious Redeemer, my Father and my Friend

Your limitless giving is a well that has no end

Thank You for staying when I tried to walk away

Every setback was Your grace, shaping up my clay

You made my spirit stronger, You lifted me up high

Now You walk right in front of me under this WV deer mountain sky

Yes, You walk right in front of me under this WV deer mountain sky
