Countryman by Kevin Toqe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is the country I’m gonna live in
This is the story You’ve been telling
Been taking long walks through fields of forgiveness
Knowing there’s healing on the horizon
Singing I’m Your countryman born and raised

[Verse 2]
When I was young, I’d hear the thunder
You’d talk to me, and I’d fill with wonder
A fire came through and burnt my home down
I felt lost within my hometown

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I was burnin’ up time inside
Thinking ‘bout the dreams that had all but died
Trying to rebuild what I left behind me
When there’s new land You have given

[Chorus]
I’m not lost in this place I roam
Heaven comes to this open road whenever I call Your name
You take me places I could never go
Heaven comes to this open road whenever I call Your name
I’m Your countryman born and raised
[Verse 2]
I’ve walked down some roads so broken
But I look to You and the words You’ve spoken
When fires come through to choke Your voice out
You’re still with me in the fire without doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
No more burnin’ up time inside
Thinking ‘bout the dreams that had all but died
Trying to rebuild what I left behind me
When there’s new land that You have given

[Chorus 2]
I’m not lost in this place I roam
Heaven comes to this open road whenever I call Your name
You take me places I could never go
Heaven comes to this open road whenever I call Your name
I’m Your countryman born and raised

[Fiddle solo]

[Verse 3]
I won’t lose heart, it’s a life worth living
I’ll buy the field and plant what I’m given
I’m gonna take my place with You, my Father
Drink for free from Your living water
Singing I’m Your countryman born and raised
[Chorus 3]
I’m not lost in this place I roam
Heaven comes to this open road whenever I call Your name
You take me places I could never go
Heaven comes to this open road whenever I call Your name
I’m Your countryman born and raised
I'm Your countryman born and raised
