Road of Gratitude (Remix)

Thank You Jesus for the road I tread

Protecting me where others have bled

I sit behind the wheel and watch the morning rise

Thinking of the friends who closed their weary eyes

The miles are long and heavy, the road is full of fear

But I feel Your presence, Lord, when the end is drawing near

I call on You, Hansonje, seeking Your holy light

To guide this truck through shadows, through the middle of the night

Yes Lord, it is not easy, this life upon the lane

But You keep me moving safely through the sun and through the rain

Oh, I thank You Lord Jesus for the grace You give

For every single heartbeat, for the life I live

You’ve kept me safe when others were taken home

I praise You for the mercy that keeps me from the foam

Thank You for my wife, Refine Malambo, standing strong

She’s the heart of my foundation, where my soul belongs

Refine Malambo, you are the rock inside my home

When I am out on highways where the lonely spirits roam

You take care of the children, my heart, my greatest prize

I see the light of heaven reflected in your eyes

Victor Hansonje, my son, keep growing in the grace

Naomi Hansonje, my daughter, I love your smiling face

Praise Him for the family that waits for my return

For every lesson taught and every bridge we burn

Oh, I thank You Lord Jesus for the grace You give

For every single heartbeat, for the life I live

You’ve kept me safe when others were taken home

I praise You for the mercy that keeps me from the foam

Thank You for my wife, Refine Malambo, standing strong

She’s the heart of my foundation, where my soul belongs

I remember the brothers who didn't reach the end

I bow my head in silence, my spirit starts to bend

Glory to the Savior, for the life I still possess

Through the trials and the struggle, through the deep wilderness

Hallelujah, I am thankful for the breath inside my chest

Hallelujah, in Your shadow I have found my rest

Victor and Naomi, you are the reason that I drive

You are the blooming garden that keeps my soul alive

Refine, my dear, your patience is a virtue from above

Covering our household with the blanket of your love

Amen, for the journey, amen for the road

I cast upon the Savior every burden, every load

Oh, I thank You Lord Jesus for the grace You give

For every single heartbeat, for the life I live

You’ve kept me safe when others were taken home

I praise You for the mercy that keeps me from the foam

Thank You for my wife, Refine Malambo, standing strong

She’s the heart of my foundation, where my soul belongs

I thank You Lord, for keeping me moving on

Safe until the darkness turns into the dawn

Thank You for my family, thank You for the way

I praise You Jesus, every night and day

Amen, Amen.
