We've come a long way, Lord, a mighty long way,
We've borne our burdens in the heat of the day,
But we know the Lord has made the way,
We've come a long way, Lord, a mighty long way.

I've been in the valley and I prayed night and day,
And I know the Lord has made the way.

I've had trials each and ev'ry day,
But I know the Lord has made the way.
