Highway
As Isaac Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Lord plant me like a tree within your house there's an achening deep within my bones your presences is the true measure of my soul it's where my heart is found, where my heart is found.
Let my heart be a highway to Zion, running narrow and true.
Set my sails on the sea of surrender.
I am not my own, not my own.
You are my home.
Oh Lord I have seen the goodness of your land, it ruins me of any lesser thing.
All your strength and glory light the way, until I reach me home.
Until you bring me home.

Let my heart be a highway to Zion, running narrow and true.
Set my sails on the sea of surrender.
I am not my own, you are my home.
Single minded, whole-hearted.
set my face like a stone.
letting go of what's behind me- I am headed for my home Let my heart be a highway to Zion, running narrow and true.
Set my sails on the sea of surrender.
I am not my own, not my own, not my own, you are my home.
Single minded, whole-hearted.

Set my face like a stone.
Letting go of what's behind me, I'm headed for my home
