I Survived Route G

Lyrics

[Intro] Lead: We made it through the morning run! Choir: We made it through! Lead: Route G, can you testify? Choir: We made it through! [Verse 1] Before the coffee cooled down in the cup The first stop called and the doors filled up Schedules folded, radios cried Still I kept my hands steady on the ride Every turn had a story to tell Every shift had a rung from hell But when the last passenger stepped away I found one more reason to praise today [Pre-Chorus] I have been tested, I have been tried But mercy kept riding right by my side When the long day said, “You’re done, give in” A stronger voice said, “Start again” [Chorus] I survived Route G! Tell the whole yard I’m standing! Through the delays and the heavy days I’m still here, still praising! I survived Route G! With my tired hands held high! The work was hard, but grace was harder I made it through the line! [Verse 2] A missed connection, a crowded bay A hundred questions before break of day Rain on the window, heat in the cab Still gave the people the best I had Some days stretched like an endless road Some words landed like a heavy load But I learned strength in the middle of strain And found a little joy in the pouring rain [Pre-Chorus] I have been tested, I have been tried But mercy kept riding right by my side When the long day said, “You’re done, give in” A stronger voice said, “Start again” [Chorus] I survived Route G! Tell the whole yard I’m standing! Through the delays and the heavy days I’m still here, still praising! I survived Route G! With my tired hands held high! The work was hard, but grace was harder I made it through the line! [Bridge] Lead: Who kept you calm when the whole day shook? Choir: Grace kept me calm! Lead: Who gave you strength when your patience took? Choir: Grace gave me strength! Lead: Who brought you home when the shift ran long? Choir: Grace brought you home! All: And now we turn our testimony into song! [Breakdown] Lead: I’m not bragging, I’m bearing witness! Choir: We’re bearing witness! Lead: Every mile became forgiveness! Choir: Became forgiveness! Lead: Every stop became a story! Choir: A story of glory! All: We came through the work and walked out in victory! [Final Chorus] I survived Route G! Tell the whole yard I’m standing! Through the delays and the heavy days I’m still here, still praising! I survived Route G! With my tired hands held high! The work was hard, but grace was harder I made it through the line! [Outro] Lead: One more shift? Choir: We can face it! Lead: One more mile? Choir: We can make it! All: Route G, your worker’s still alive— And by the grace of God, we rise!
