[Verse 1] I’
m
standin'
here
today
lookin'
at
a
road
I
can’
t
quite
see
Just
a
dusty
stretch
of
highway,
Lord,
between
the
truth
and
me
I
don’
t
know
why
the
wind
blows
hard
or
why
the
clouds
turn
grey
I’
m
just
a
weary
traveler
tryin'
to
find
a
better
way
But
I
look
back
at
the
miles
I’
ve
walked,
the
heavy
loads
I’
ve
bore
And
I
know
I
didn’
t
make
it
on
my
own,
not
anymore
There
were
battles
in
the
darkness
that
I
never
even
saw
You
were
fightin'
every
shadow,
standing
firm
behind
the
law.
[Chorus] So
I’
m
sendin'
up
a
prayer
on
the
wings
of
the
morning
light
Thankin'
You
for
holdin'
on
when
I
was
givin'
up
the
fight
Through
the
highs
and
through
the
lows,
You’
ve
stayed
right
by
my
side
You’
re
the
anchor
in
the
river,
You’
re
the
place
where
I
can
hide
Oh,
Gentle
Paulo
kneels
down
now,
with
a
heart
that’
s
open
wide
Gratitude
is
flowin'
like
a
constant
rolling
tide.
[Verse 2] Life
ain’
t
been
no
easy
ride,
the
pavement’
s
cracked
and
worn
I’
ve
stumbled
through
my
failures
since
the
day
that
I
was
born
I’
ve
broken
every
promise
and
I’
ve
wandered
off
the
track
But
You
never
turned
Your
face
away,
You
never
held
it
back
I’
m
indebted
to
Your
mercy,
more
than
words
could
ever
say
You
picked
me
up
and
dusted
off
my
soul
along
the
way
Mr.
Paul
Onwuemene (
Gentle
Paulo)
the
JP
is
humblin'
down,
acknowledgin'
the
grace
That’
s
written
in
the
kindness
of
Your
holy,
heaven's
face.
[Chorus] So
I’
m
sendin'
up
a
prayer
on
the
wings
of
the
morning
light
Thankin'
You
for
holdin'
on
when
I
was
givin'
up
the
fight
Through
the
highs
and
through
the
lows,
You’
ve
stayed
right
by
my
side
You’
re
the
anchor
in
the
river,
You’
re
the
place
where
I
can
hide
Oh,
Gentle
Paulo
kneels
down
now,
with
a
heart
that’
s
open
wide
Gratitude
is
flowin'
like
a
constant
rolling
tide.
[Bridge] Lord,
You
are
my
everything,
my
beginning
and
my
end
You’
re
the
Father,
You’
re
the
Savior,
You’
re
the
closest
kind
of
friend
Give
me
wisdom
for
the
journey,
give
me
strength
to
stand
my
ground
When
the
world
is
pushin'
hard
and
there’
s
no
peace
to
be
found
Let
me
serve
You
with
my
spirit,
let
me
walk
the
path
You
clear
Let
the
glory
be
Your
honor,
for
the
rest
of
every
year.
[Chorus] So
I’
m
sendin'
up
a
prayer
on
the
wings
of
the
morning
light
Thankin'
You
for
holdin'
on
when
I
was
givin'
up
the
fight
Through
the
highs
and
through
the
lows,
You’
ve
stayed
right
by
my
side
You’
re
the
anchor
in
the
river,
You’
re
the
place
where
I
can
hide
Oh,
Gentle
Paulo
kneels
down
now,
with
a
heart
that’
s
open
wide
Gratitude
is
flowin'
like
a
constant
rolling
tide.
[Outro] Glory,
honor,
power
be
to
You
for
evermore
Amen
and
Hallelujah,
standin'
on
this
holy
floor
Sing
praises
to
the
Lord,
let
the
music
fill
the
air
Everything
is
You,
Father,
in
this
humble
country
prayer (
Fade
out
with
fiddle
and
acoustic
guitar)
Amen.
