Like a Texas wind that blows in springtime

In the morning sun I feel it grow


The ever restless spirit of the Lord


Moving through my soul

Calling me to go the distance


Where love demands a higher price


Fields of white are burning for the harvest

On the second mile





Far away

To new frontiers and places


Where we've never dared before


Someone is cryin'

Someone is dyin'


Somewhere down the road


Where I have yet to go.




I stand upon a lonely hillside


I close my eyes and Lord, I see

Every extra step of love


You took to rescue me


And I ride upon Your strength and courage

For every step of faith I need


To reach a world that's waiting for love


On the second mile.




Far across


The borders of a nation

Or to a neighbor next door


Someone is cryin'


Someone is dyin'

Somewhere down a road


Where I have yet to go


Somewhere down the road

On the second mile.
