Intro] (
Piano
melody
fades
in)
Oh,
the
road
calls
us
home.
Thank
You,
Jesus,
for
this
journey.
[Verse 1] In
these
white
walls
we
learned
to
stand
so
tall,
From
little
whispers
to
answering
the
call.
You
taught
us
faith,
you
taught
us
to
be
true,
Handmaid's
Convent,
we
owe
it
all
to
you.
The
lessons
etched
in
every
hallway
floor,
We
leave
our
youth
behind
the
heavy
door.
Yes
Lord,
we
grew
beneath
your
gentle
grace,
Finding
our
purpose
in
this
holy
place.
[Chorus] Oh
Handmaid's,
our
home,
our
pride,
Where
love
and
wisdom
did
reside.
We
came
as
little
girls
so
small,
You
made
us
women,
ready
for
it
all.
We
will
not
say
goodbye,
just
see
you
soon,
You’
ll
live
in
our
hearts
like
the
morning
moon.
Glory,
glory,
the
path
is
wide.
[Verse 2] Thank
you,
dear
Sisters,
for
your
guiding
light,
For
showing
us
wrong
from
the
dark
of
the
night.
To
the
teachers
who
prayed
while
we
learned
our
lines,
Your
dedication
through
the
changing
times.
We’
ll
take
these
memories
like
a
shield
of
gold,
Stories
of
virtue
that
never
grow
old.
Thank
You
Jesus
for
the
friends
we
made,
A
foundation
of
love
that
will
never
fade.
[Chorus] Oh
Handmaid's,
our
home,
our
pride,
Where
love
and
wisdom
did
reside.
We
came
as
little
girls
so
small,
You
made
us
women,
ready
for
it
all.
We
will
not
say
goodbye,
just
see
you
soon,
You’
ll
live
in
our
hearts
like
the
morning
moon.
Amen,
amen,
the
spirit
guides.
[Bridge] Though
the
seasons
change
and
we
drift
apart,
Handmaid's
Convent
stays
inside
the
heart.
We’
re
walking
out,
but
we’
re
carrying
the
flame,
Speaking
our
truth
and
praising
His
name.
Praise
Him
for
the
strength
that
we
found
in
the
hall,
Ready
to
answer
the
final
call.
[Verse 3] To
my
sisters,
keep
your
heads
held
high,
Beneath
the
vast
and
watchful
open
sky.
Remember
the
prayers
we
whispered
in
the
pews,
We’
ve
got
a
promise
that
we’
ll
never
lose.
Handmaid's
girls,
go
out
and
shine
the
light,
Carry
the
love
through
the
longest
night.
Yes
Lord,
we
go,
but
we’
re
always
home,
Guided
by
grace
wherever
we
roam.
[Chorus] Oh
Handmaid's,
our
home,
our
pride,
Where
love
and
wisdom
did
reside.
We
came
as
little
girls
so
small,
You
made
us
women,
ready
for
it
all.
We
will
not
say
goodbye,
just
see
you
soon,
You’
ll
live
in
our
hearts
like
the
morning
moon.
Hallelujah,
for
the
grace
we
shared.
[Outro] See
you
soon,
Handmaid's.
Our
home,
our
pride,
our
soul.
Thank
You,
Jesus.
Thank
You,
Jesus.
We
are
ready
now.
Amen.
