The Great Adventure

An email from a friend recently brought this classic song into my mind and I’ve enjoyed it all week.  I share it with you as a rememberance if you were listening to Christian music in the early 1990’s and as a fresh spash of joy if you’ve never heard it before.  It’s GREAT !

Christian lyrics – GREAT ADVENTURE LYRICS – STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN

Saddle up your horses Started out this morning in the usual way Chasing thoughts inside my head of all I had to do today Another time around the circle try to make it better than the last I opened up the Bible and I read about me Said I’d been a prisoner and God’s grace had set me free And somewhere between the pages it hit me like a lightning bolt I saw a big frontier in front of me and I heard somebody say “let’s go”! CHORUS

Saddle up your horses we’ve got a trail to blaze Through the wild blue yonder of God’s amazing grace Let’s follow our leader into the glorious unknown This is a life like no other – this is

The Great Adventure Come on get ready for the ride of your life Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored This is what we were created for

Bridge: We’ll travel over, over mountains so high We’ll go through valleys below Still through it all we’ll find that This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see

The love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams Yeah… oh saddle up your horses… come on get ready to ride
