Steven Curtis Chapman - Long Way Home Lyrics
I set out on a great adventure
The day my Father started leading me home
He said there's gonna be some mountains to climb
And some valleys we're gonna go through
Just how hard this journey could be
Cause the valleys are deeper
And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed
But I know we're gonna make it
And I know we're gonna get there soon
And I know sometimes it feels like we're going the wrong way
But its just the long way home
I got some rocks in my shoes
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 regrets,
My should've beens, and not yets
I keep on dragging around
And I can hardly wait for the day I get to lay them all down
I know that day is coming
I know its gonna be here soon
And I won't turn back even if the whole world says I'm going the wrong way
Cause its just the long way home
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 are is just pilgrims passing through
Well, I know we're gonna make it
And I know we're gonna get there soon
So I 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 I know wherever we go
He will never leave us
Cause He's gonna lead us home
Every single step of the long way home
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)
(I know, we're gonna make it)
(We're just taking the long way home)
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)
(I know, we're gonna make it)
(We're just taking the long way home)
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)
(I know, we're gonna make it)
(We're just taking the long way home)
(Keep going, we're gonna make it)
(I know, we're gonna make it)
It's just a long way home

Steven Curtis Chapman Long Way Home Comments
📮💯✔️✔️✔️📮🎯💯🎯💯✨💋🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
2019 And still taken the long way home.
This make me cry so bad
Jesus saved me in 1988, and Steven C. Chapman was one of the first Christian artists I heard. This has been a long road, and I've been listening to Steven's music all along the journey. I've 'grown up' with him, and as we age, this song is perfect. Not that cute young thing anymore, the kids are grown, people have gone on to eternity, chapters of life close...but all through it, we know that our Abba Father will bring us beyond this world to be with Him, from glory....to Glory! Thanks, Steven, for once again reminding us and for touching our hearts, and for giving another message of hope for a bruised and hurting world. Can't wait to hear what you do when we are in heaven! God bless you.
Having such a bad today, feels like all my stress and anxiety are caving in on me.. Not the best thing to do but I couldn't even find the strength to walk into school today (I'm skipping right now while listening to this).. It's just my Anxiety is a constant battle but this song gives me a little bit of peace knowing life's bigger than this world's stress and we have internal life in heaven. We're gonna make it🎵
He said there's gonna be some mountains to climb and some 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... and I won't turn back even when the whole world says I'm going the wrong way. It's just a long way home.
Yes, it's much much deeper and steeper than I ever dreamed it could be. But even when the entire world says I'm going backwards I won't turn back because it's just a really, really long way home.
In the name of Jesus, i comand healing for all those suffering right now. In tge name of Jesus!! The bible states who asks shall receive, what we speaketh so be it! Healing to all in the name of Jesus, we command it, claim it, abd receive your full healing Jesus because you have already done it!! Bless you all.
This song literally alot of history
This song has more meaning now. I just lost my brother less than 24 hours ago.
im sorry for your loss
love this song <3
I love this song. It helped me through some hard days.
love this song...helped me through some tough times
Long Way Home is a song by Tom Waits. It is like if I had a (black and gay) child and named it Steven Curtis Chapman
God loves you...believe it
SCC played in my home town and shared that this song was part of his journey towards healing after the tragic and unexpected death of his little girl. He told the audience that he originally intended to write a very sad song about her death and how it impacted his faith and his family's faith but as he began to write, he grabbed the nearest instrument...a ukulele...and he joked that it's really hard to write a sad song when you're playing a ukulele. A happy "sad" song to remind us that one day we will be home with the Father through the grace offered by His Son, Jesus.
i am an atheist but love this song (and many of chapman's songs)

Acclimate Music Prayers...
Will Morris how is she doing now?
last look I had 3.399 views conversions mostly.............
dont get so comfortable in this world 'cause we're only traveleres here. we're going to Meet our God home. long way home, be patient
That's what in scared of. Growing up. Having a family is scary and in scared i won't ve able to raise them like my parents raised/raising us. I'm still young (teen) but still! I have so many friends and best friends and we're all so tight. I believe in God deeply but sometimes I'm scared cuz ik to follow him u have to be willing to leave everything behind and that does scare me
Sorry for the bad grammar. The device I'm on isn't helping very much
@Kylee Brown prayers to you in your family hold on were almost home and read youe bible put on the full armour of god and pray just abandon sin and stop trusting you and people and trust god stop dreaming and planning no goals just give it all to god he deserves it all and pray no that praying and ceasing and go to church and worship god sometimes were ignorant were not rich and we dont have status but we put god last or maybe and when we need him we come but the truth is jesus is our parent god just ask him and he will give but fast and pray submiting to god give him your life goals dreams plans and he will have it in heaven so you worry about pray and have no excuses.
Animation creation Thankyou!!❤️
@Kylee Brown ❤️❤️❤️ family in christ jesus🙏

Every step is a foot closer to home, friends, so keep stepping one foot in front of the other!
This song brings me tears if joy every time I hear it.

@Hinata Hyuga The song is talking about life. How life is a long way home. Life is rough, but we'll all (Christians) make it to Heaven (home) in the end.
@John Paluska this song is him taking about how hes having trouble because his daughter just died so hes saying the holy spirit helps him threw the trouble a.k.a the long way home
Well done, Mr. Chapman.
I've suffered chronic fatigue for more than six years. Talk about a long way home! This song really speaks to me. God is going to lead us every single step of the long way home. Thank you Lord for Steven. 2 Cor 1:3-11
I want this on the radio more often I love it!!!
great song!
The 51 who disliked this I will try to turn around hopefully to god.
What if they are already turned to God?
great song !!
Hermosa Cancion!!!
Hidekel Peguero m
this song always makes me smile even when it seems like nothing is right.
I love this song it is beutiful and some people dont understand this song is about the way to Heaven. And people will try to break the path to Heaven.
Beautiful song
great
song!
I agree, but sometimes what people have a hard time believing is how some Christians (usually the loudest) have either projected an image that they are perfect and better than others or they say one thing with their mouths and live opposite of that. Luke warm Christianity can hurt just as much. I guess that's why Christ has threatened to spit luke warm Christians out of his mouth.
Blessed is he or she that believes without seeing for such is the kingdom of Heaven.
What do you mean something they can't see? We know there's an artist because the art exists, an architect because the building exists and a Creator because creation exists. Take a look out the window and believe! This is Biblical: See Romans 1.
Every Steven Curtis Chapman song has always been filled with the Holy Spirit!!
No I see you're point. They're a good moral guide line. But they can go awry depending on how people interpret it. I choose to not believe. But I will admit this, my morals did come from Catholicism.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! my siter sierra does too
check my album " In The Old School"
I sort of agree...
But if you think about it, every religion is about believing something you don't see.
When have we seen the Hindu gods running around India? Seen a Buddhist reborn or reach enlightenment? Can you tell me that you saw Muhammad walk to Heaven from Jerusalem, or do Muslims take that by faith? My point is that believing in anything requires a bit of faith in the unseen. So it's hypocritical for people of other religions to refuse Christianity because they can't see God.
You, sir, are awesome.
Love it!
This very encouraging
Well, some people think they are right, but when they are shown there is a better way, they are willing to try and change.... while others couldn't care less and just KNOW their way is the right way...even though it's not. That's what I meant ^^
And that some people are just too stubborn to try and see their way might not be so right.
Anthem of my life. Such a great song from the day I first heard it last year.
Sums up my testimony rather well.
I love this song! Heard it on the radio today and I was fairly certain it was Steven Curtis Chapman!
have discovered the truth of this good song in the past few years...we're on ou way home and Jesus will be there to welcome us! Yes!!
Why do you say that?
fifa 13
i loveeeeeeeeee this song
I was the 2,000 like! I love this song!
Sorry for your lose. Your right just forget
your right! this track beats most tracks hands down AND.. you can use this to listen in mp3 >> bit.ly/13anZyo?=xtisd
this song makes me remember to love the time I have and not to worry about anything else in life.
This is such an amazing song, and a true comfort on those difficult days..
Why is this song not more famous?
nu-uh! I get it xD lol
ukulele-tabs (dot) com is my primary uke tab page. Look up Long Way Home and it should be the 6th result.
Hope this helped
that song is so GOOD!!
Amazing song full of divine truths. God bless you bro!
amazing song !!!
once a nobleman shook my hand and handed me something like this which gave me strength and courage to go through the long way home.
beautiful song
i really really lovw this song i lost my brother 2 years ago and this song really helps me think what hes doing in heaven
Why is he holding a Guitar in the photo but he's playing a ukulele in the song? Where can I find uke chords to play along??
I love this song! I listen to KLOVE every day. God bless us all. :D
KJV? bahahahahaha
if you dont ask christ for foregiveness and walk in his light you will go to HELL read your bible and pray every day dont just take any ones word if its not in the bible NKJV
then it is a lie dont fallow any one to hell read it in bible
his voice is so uplifting praise the Lord <3
I remember coming to a concert of yours about 20 years ago. You have stood the test of time! Great Song!!!
Because in today's society, you don't want someone religious with good music. You want someone who can wear anything and make it 'look good' while singing about anything and everything. Our world isn't as it used to be when God was amazing in schools, you could bring your bible in the military, and you let your kids watch TV without having to worry about them watching something profoundly bad on a cartoon channel. But there is still hope :), always hope! Things will get better. I believe it!
