"May I Never" lyrics

"May I Never"
(feat. Gordy Quist, Shovels & Rope, Darrell Scott, Nicole Atkins, Ed Jurdi & Ray Wylie Hubbard)

It fills my heart to know I have a home
It fills my heart to know I have a home
Where kindness is tended and mercy is shown
May I never forsake you again

I'll wait my turn to get where I will go
I'll wait my turn to get where I will go
No longer declare on things I do not know
May I never forsake you again

I used to think that I knew the way, oh
I used to think that I knew the way
No need for higher power, no time to bow and pray
May I never forsake you again

Holdin' on to the wonder and the glory
Of a world and a spirit open wide
Holdin' on long enough to tell the story
Of the love I have discovered deep inside

I'll find it within and I'll find it above
Yes, I'll find it within and I'll find it up above
I'll walk through this world holdin' on to faith and love
May I never forsake you again

Please forgive the many times I've failed
Can you please forgive the many times I've failed?
The past is behind me, that empty ship has sailed
May I never forsake you again

I do not need to know the reason why
Well, I do not need to know the reason why
All the times I've fallen have allowed my soul to fly
May I never forsake you again

Holdin' on to the wonder and the glory
Of a world and a spirit open wide
Holdin' on long enough to tell the story
Of the love I have discovered deep inside

The only choice no one else can make
The only choice no one else can make
Is to decide which road my heart will take
May I never forsake you again
May I never forsake you again
