That Extra Mile

Chorus:
I'm gonna walk that extra mile with BABA
And try a little harder for Him.
I'm gonna walk that extra mile with BABA
To carry out His wish and His whim.

I'll try to smile when I feel like frowning
Try to laugh when I could be mad
Try to hear what the voice in my heart says
Try to see through the "good" and the "bad."

                        -Chorus-

Every moment presents a decision -
Will you take this road or that?
Going up that highway less travelled
Leads right to the Lord's welcome mat!

                         -Chorus-

Yes, this journey takes faith, love, and daring
To get to where you're doing your best.
It starts with just one step toward BABA
His ten steps will do all the rest.

                       -Chorus-

I'M GONNA WALK THAT EXTRA MILE WITH BABA   3X
