Words by Traditional LiberianMusic by Traditional Liberian
We've come a long way, Lord,
A mighty long way;
We've come a long way, Lord,
A mighty long way.
We've borne our burdens in the heat of the day,
But we know the Lord has made a way;
We've come a long way, Lord,
A mighty long way.
Story Behind the Song
“We’ve Come a Long Way, Lord” is identified in choral publications and performances as a traditional Liberian Christian song. It has circulated in arranged choral form, including an arrangement by Wendell Glick, but the original author, composer, date, and circumstances of origin are not well documented in standard hymnological sources.
