After All These Years

After all these years I would have thought

That all my fears were laid to rest

But I still get scared

And I thought that all my struggles would be

Victories by now but I confess

That the mess is there

But oh, I know the work that you began

Is coming to an end someday

'Cause you never let go. You never let go

You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold

You never let go. You never let go

Your love endures forever wherever I go

After all these years that's all that I know. Oh

From Illinois to Shiloh to The Warren

To the cliffs at Castle Rock

Well I've been longing for a land

But not everyone who wanders is lost

'Cause every road I walk

Is in the palm of your hand

Oh, there is a house with many rooms

Where I'm gonna be with you someday

'Cause you never let go. You never let go

You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold

You never let go. You never let go

Your love endures forever wherever I go

After all these years

You never let go, you never let go

You led me by the hand into a land of green and gold

You never let go

You never let go

Well after the years have gone and I have grown old

I'm gonna go home to the arms of a Father who never let me go

After all these years that's all that I know. Oh

You never let go. Oh

You never let go. Oh
