Backroad Hallelujah

(Verse 1)

Sunrise breaking through the pines

Dusty road and a restless mind

Had a heart full of questions

And miles to go

Windows down, that old church song

Somehow hit me right where I was wrong

Like grace was riding shotgun

On that gravel road

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ve been running circles

Trying to stand on my own

But Heaven kept calling me home

(Chorus)

So I sing a backroad hallelujah

Hands high under that midnight blue sky

Ain’t no perfect soul, just a heart You pursue, yeah

Thank God Your mercy never runs dry

Every tear, every scar, every wrong thing I’ve been through

Led me right to You

Now every mile feels brand new

Singing backroad hallelujah

(Verse 2)

Mama prayed beside my bed

Daddy said, “Let Jesus lead your steps”

But I had to learn forgiveness

The hard way

Now I see it in the little things

In the choir birds and the summer rain

In the peace that comes

When I speak Your name

(Pre-Chorus)

I was chasing shadows

Till Your light broke through

Now all I want is You

(Chorus)

So I sing a backroad hallelujah

Hands high under that midnight blue sky

Ain’t no perfect soul, just a heart You pursue, yeah

Thank God Your mercy never runs dry

Every tear, every scar, every wrong thing I’ve been through

Led me right to You

Now every mile feels brand new

Singing backroad hallelujah

(Bridge)

Amazing grace in a beat-up truck

Faith enough when life gets rough

You meet me right where I am

And You remind me who I was

Not lost, not too far gone

Your love’s been here all along

(Final Chorus)

So I sing a backroad hallelujah

All my fear fading into Your light

I can hear Heaven in the silence

And freedom in these fireflies tonight

Every road, every turn, every valley I walked through

Led me right to You

Jesus, You make all things new

My backroad hallelujah
