First Battle Won

Текст песни

Thank You for the First Step Verse 1 Last night, I prayed for wisdom For the judge who’d hear Dad speak And for the kind of courage That looks a lot like peace Today I read the court’s words And I let out a breath I didn’t know how long I’d been holding in my chest Chorus Thank You, Lord, for the first step For a little room to breathe For every friend who called to pray When I couldn’t find the words I need There are miles ahead for all of us And I’ll take them as they come But tonight I’m gonna thank You For the first step You brought us through Verse 2 Dad, I still see sparks flying When you welded up that stand You taught me how to build a thing And how to lend a hand Now I want the court to hear you And to know the things you want And I wish I could sit beside you Like we did when I was young Chorus Thank You, Lord, for the first step For a little room to breathe For every friend who called to pray When I couldn’t find the words I need There are miles ahead for all of us And I’ll take them as they come But tonight I’m gonna thank You For the first step You brought us through Bridge Help me act justly when I’m angry Help me love mercy when it’s hard Help me walk humbly through that courthouse And guard the words that leave my heart Hold my mama, hold my daddy Give us patience for the road And when I wake up scared tomorrow Remind me I can take it slow Final Chorus Thank You, Lord, for the first step For a little room to breathe For every friend who called to pray When all I could say was “Help me, please” There are miles ahead for all of us And I’ll take them as they come But tonight I’m gonna thank You For the first step You brought us through Outro Tonight I’ll thank You for the first step Tomorrow, help me take the next
