Biography:
“I know this is not anything like you thought the story of your life was gonna be...but there's so much of the story that's still yet to unfold.” Few people know the pain and the promise in that statement better than Steven Curtis Chapman. The past few years have been an incredible journey that Chapman wouldn’t have chosen, yet has taught him so very much. Those lessons permeate every song on Chapman’s new album The Glorious Unfolding.

[Intro]
A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm (A)
[Verse 1]
A Amaj7
I set out on a great adventure,
F#m E
The day my Father started leading me home,
D D/C#
Said there’s gonna be mountains to climb,
Bm A
And valleys we’re gonna go through.
A Amaj7
But I had no way of knowing,
F#m E
Just how hard this journey could be,
D
Cause the valleys are deeper
D/C# Bm Bm slide to C#m momentarily
And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed
[Chorus]
D F#m
But I know we’re gonna make it,
D F#m E
And I know we’re gonna get there soon
D F#m Esus2 Emaj9
And I know sometimes it seems like we’re going the wrong way
D Dm (strum Dm once)
But it’s just the long way home
[Turnaround]
A Amaj7 F#m D
[Verse 2]
A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm (A)
Some rocks on my shoes,
Fears I wish I could lose,
That make the mountains so hard to climb,
And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes.
There’s a bag of regret,
Should’ve beens and not yets,
That keep on dragging around,
And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down.
[Chorus]
D F#m D F#m E D F#m Esus2 Emaj9 D Dm
Well I know that day is coming
And I know it’s gonna be here soon
And I know I won’t turn back even if the whole world
Says I’m doing the wrong way
Cause it’s just a long way home
[Bridge]
Bm C#m C#m
When we can’t take another step,
F#m E D
The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms,
Bm C#m
And even on the best days, He says to remember we’re not home yet,
Esus2 Emaj9
So don’t get too comfortable,
D Dm (strum once)
Cause really all we’re is just pilgrims passing through.
[Interlude]
A Amaj7 F#m E D D/C# Bm Bm
[Alternative Chorus]
D F#m
Well I know that day is coming,
D F#m E
And I know it’s gonna be here soon,
D F#m Esus2 Emaj9
I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say,
D F#m
Cause our God has made a promise,
D F#m E
And I know that everything He says is true,
D F#m Esus2 Emaj9
And he promised He would never ever leave us
D Dm Esus2 Emaj9
He’s gonna lead us, He’ll lead us home,
D Dm (Strum Dm once) A Amaj7
Every single step of the long way home,
[Outro]
F#m E
So keep on, we’re gonna make it,
D Dm
We’re just taking the long way home,
A Amaj7
Keep on we’re gonna make it,
F#m E
I know we’re gonna make it,
D Dm (strum Dm once)
It’s just a long way home.
