New Mexico
Lyrics
Words and
music by Mitch McVicker and Rich Mullins
Well I've
been thinkin' about you and I wish you the best
But every
night I go to sleep I miss you a little less
But still
somehow, I love you more with each new day
So I thought
I'd write you, yeah I thought I'd send my new address
I've been
starin' at your picture that's sittin' here on my desk
'Cause
I thought you might be wonderin' if I'm okay
Chorus
I'm alive
and I'm livin'
In a place
where the world's crust has shifted
And the
stars in the Milky Way
They're
givin' a party for New Mexico
Yes, I've
come to the desert
Just to
find my way to forever
And you
are so welcome here
If you're
ever in New Mexico
So I wanna
thank the One who leads us
For the
way that He has led
For the
times we've spent together
And for
the times we ain't seen yet
And still
somehow this is a path we must both walk alone
And we
can't measure the distance
But we'll
treasure every step
And I know
His love will give us
The strength
we need to press on
So let's
hold onto Him and He will show us our way home
Chorus
Bridge
And the
stars can be so bright
The air
so thin
And as
I'm lookin' out tonight
I think
about you lookin' for Him
Chorus
Yes, you
are so welcome here
If you're
ever in New Mexico
