Lyrics
" Now, I Am Home " - ( My Valley ) I have seen ... my valley, I've heard ... it's river's flow. I've walked along ... it's hillsides High ... and, low. I've stood upon ... it's mountain, Gazed ... across this land. I've felt ... it's gentle breezes Touched ... God's hand! Now, I Am Home I Am Home This is ... Where I Belong! I Am Free Can't You See? This is ... Where I Belong Now, I Am Home! * * * ( Psalm 23 - Spoken in Prayer Version of song ) * * * I could've stayed ... forever, Spent ... ALL ... of time with you But, my life ... was on a journey I was ... only ... passing through. Now, I Am Home I Am Home This is ... Where I Belong! I Am Free Can't You See? This is ... Where I Belong Now, I Am Home! www.NowIAmHome.com ( ALL Downloads are Free ) Copyright - Aug. 25, 2007 Susan D.
