Chords for Paul Williams and the Victory Trio - The Journey 2009

This song says that I was locked up in Sims Prison [F#m] for nearly 30 years.
That's [A] what it had a reference to, me at 28 when I found the Lord.
And we [D] simply call it The Journey.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ I could have gone on for [G] one reason [D] or another.
_ _ _ Always to visit.
_ [E] Just didn't take [A] the time.
_ _ _ _ [D] It didn't seem important.
_ [G] Where you and I [D] were going.
Going home was [A] the last thing on [D] my mind. _ _ _
For nearly 30 years.
[G] I was locked up in [D] Sims Prison.
_ Never _ [E] realizing Jesus [A] was the key. _
_ _ [D] One day a preacher came.
[G] For the first time [D] I listened.
How Jesus [A] taught our pardon on [D] Calvary.
_ _ _ _ So today I made the journey.
[G] Just to let you know.
The last Sunday [D] in August.
_ [E] Jesus saved [A] my soul.
_ _ _ [D] I know you prayed for me.
I [G] know you laid awake at night.
So I made the [D] journey, Mama.
To let [A] you know everything's [D] _
alright.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ I feel like he's looking here.
_ [G] As I look down [D] at you, Martha.
_ With a broken heart.
[E]
I stand here [A] ashamed. _ _ _
Your [D] prayers were answered, Ma.
When I [G] kneeled there on that altar.
In the Lamb.
The calm [A] life God wrote [D] my name.
_ _ _ _ So today I made the journey.
_ [G] Just to let you know.
The last _ [D] Sunday in August.
_ _ [E] Jesus saved [A] my soul. _
_ _ _ [D] I know you prayed for me.
I [G] know you laid awake at night.
_ So I made the [D] journey, Mama.
To let [A] you know everything's [D] _ alright. _
[D] _ _ [G] When my journey [D] here is over.
[A] We'll be together where there's [D] no night. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
