Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the way that You heal us
It's the way that You heal us
It's the way that You heal us
It's the way that You died

It's the way that You free us
It's the way that You free us
It's the way that You free us
By Your sacrifice

And You'll never, You'll never lead us
You'll never lead us far from home
And You'll never, You'll never leave us
You'll never leave us all alone

It's the way that You hold us
It's the way that You hold us
It's the way that You hold us
Whether high or low
It's the way that You teach us
It's the way that You teach us
It's the way that You teach us
How to grow

And You'll never, You'll never lead us
You'll never lead us far from home
And You'll never, You'll never leave us
You'll never leave us all alone

It's the way that You know us
It's the way that You know us
It's the way that You know us
From our head to our toe
It's the way that You show us
It's the way that You show us




It's the way that You show us
The way to go, the way to go
