I’m always looking for the right word I’m ever confident I’d know it if I heard It whispered from the back of a crowded auditorium It’s forever there, firmly fixed in heaven But somehow on earth it’s gotten muffled out in such a bad, bad way I’m always looking for the right turn I try to draw upon the lessons that I’ve learned From all the dead ends, side streets, and mapless expeditions in the fog It was good for me that I was afflicted, you see Cuz I got to learn your statutes and see your love all at the same time We will never ever stray from Your ways as you’ve revealed them in the volume of scripture and in our lives God, your grace has set in motion The graded steps to united depths and a life of undivided devotion But I will hold fast to your Law Though the wicked call normal the deranged I will praise you in the midnight hours No matter how much things have changed

The fog rolls off the mountain hill Rumbling down I’m standing still Without a sound it’s come The sky has begun To stumble under the burden No time to finish that last thing, no The trees are bending low You gotta get up and race the rain home She’s coming down in a flush of ruckus now Never listened before You gotta get up and race the rain home Won’t be long before the bottom falls Been waiting for it to make a noise The thunder I expect of such A sky so thick and dark Better give chase or you’ll be gone And now the west wind is blowing the smog away

I came into this town with a twin-zipper backpack A mandolin, two plastic totes, and the shirt upon my back I signed up for the language course, it was a simple path to choose And anyway you looked at it, I didn't have much to lose I've laid down roots and I'm afraid that I could lose it all Over a petty line dispute, over a referee's bad call I know there's nothing I could ever truly call my own But these roots have grown so deep and I need somewhere to call home Last night the wind was blowing hard it must have tripped a car alarm And at 3am it woke me from a sweet and deep slumber I started thinking about investments and everything I own Responsibility and normalcy as everything has grown From underneath the comforter I reached over to my wife You've gotta take some risks if you want any semblance of a life

Follow 07:12
I heard him call me by my name I never knew a safer voice When he came back to the 99 The angels with the flock rejoiced I heard the wimper of the wolves I never knew a stronger arm When he led us down the city streets No one ever raised alarm Surely goodness will follow me Surely mercy will follow me All the days of my life As I follow you through the plains Up to the plateaus of blue skies And echoing refrains On down the hills and out of breath On through the boneyard at mid day Scavengers and death But I will fear no evil I heard a clear invitation I never knew a longer road When he welcomes me into his house My heart and cup overflow Surely goodness will follow me Surely mercy will follow me All the days of my life As I follow you through the plains Up to the plateaus of blue skies And echoing refrains On down the hills and out of breath On through the boneyard at mid day Scavengers and death Through the cold and through the rain Through the back roads and swamp bogs And treacherous terrain And though the wind would hollow me Under black clouds and dark howls I’m ever safe with thee But I will fear no evil
