Took Me A While

Verse 1:

I waited half my life to be right here today

Woulda’ been here earlier but sin stood in my way

I wasted half my life just chasing silly dreams

Found out that none of them

was quite what they all seemed

But now I’m back on the path less shoveled again

I’m stayin’ here for the rest of my days, amen!

Chorus:

I’m flying along on heavenly wings

Gliding a sky full of sunshine

I’m doing His will and it’s such a thrill

But it took me a while to get here

Breathing the air of a dream I’ve had there

Living the life I was made for

Always inside me with a need to get out

But it took me a while to get here

Verse 2:

Take a look at life and tell me what it is you see

Is this the place you always figured that you’d be?

Slip over to the right seat and let your Master drive

Breathe in His fresh air, be happy you’re alive

Thank you God that I don’t have what I deserve

Jesus Christ is the only one that I serve

Chorus:

I’m flying along on heavenly wings

Gliding a sky full of sunshine

I’m doing His will and it’s such a thrill

But it took me a while to get here

Breathing the air of a dream I’ve had there

Living the life I was made for

Always inside me with a need to get out

But it took me a while to get here

Bridge:

I really wish that it hadn’t taken all of these years

Cause its sure a blessing to have ya’ll

sittin’ right here

God’s got place for you

God’s got place you’ll see

I really would like to have you

Sailing along with me
As we’re…

Chorus:

…Flying along on heavenly wings

Gliding a sky full of sunshine

We’re doing His will and it’s such a thrill

But it took us a while to get here

Breathing the air of a dream we’ve had there

Living the life we were made for

Always inside us with a need to get out
