Footsteps Of Our Fathers

Footsteps of our Fathers ~ Pat Green/Brett James (2009) We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers Standing in the shadows of our mothers Trying to learn from those who came before us We see the road maps in the lines upon their face And as I look out on this crazy congregation The truth is inside we’re all the same Come on all my sisters and my brothers Let’s go walking Walking in the footsteps of our Father Now I’m the first to say I don’t know what I’m doin’ And I ain’t gonna preach what I don’t know I ain’t no deep theologer, no PhD psychologer I’m makin’ all this shit up as I go But I know for sure we’re all in this together And in a thousand years we still won’t get it right So let’s rip a page out of ole’ Hank Williams’ hymnal Let’s have a little church right here tonight As I look down at the brother of my daughter As I kneel and kiss my sister of my son I only hope I leave a righteous path to follow As they go walking Walking in the footsteps of their Father We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers Standing in the shadows of our mothers Trying to learn from those who came before us We see the road maps in the lines upon their face And as I look out on this crazy congregation The truth is inside we’re all the same Come on all my sisters and my brothers Let’s go walking Walking in the footsteps of our Father We are walking in the footsteps of our Father Of our heavenly Father
