We said goodbye to family and friends To journey places we had never been So unsure of where the road would lead With a solid faith that God would meet our needs Sometimes we grew weary, tired and cold But, we were called, and we knew we must go God-given songs that we knew we must sing What a joy it's been living out the dream Soon the voyage will be over and we'll cross that final span The good and faithful shepherd will gather all his lambs He will lead us to still waters and pastures oh so green What a joy it's been living out the dream Like a traveling pilgrim with a destiny Headed for a place we've never seen We've made a host of dear friends on the way A lot of tears and joy, many prayers we've prayed One day we will reach our journey's end We'll say goodbye to sorrow pain and sin Though many miles yesterday it seems That we set our sails living out the dream
