Mike Dutch Paul is & has always been able to connect God's Love and Amazing Grace to me as I've made my own Journey of Faith through his gift of music & song. I first came to know love Paul's music way back in the late 70's (with the very much missed Rob Frost) when me & my church went to Middlesbrough Town Hall to watch & listen to The Musical Daybreak! , Paul's music has definitely been a very important part of my journey & his latest songs are just as Brilliant! Thanks Paul for ALL Your Great music.👏🙏 Favorite track: The Long Way Round.

Christopher Webb This song was written for my beautiful daughter's wedding. Many people commented on how it spoke to them, as well as brilliantly reflecting the difficult journey to marriage of my daughter and son-in-law, when we played it at the reception.

lyrics

The Long Way Round

Some people’s lives seem to roll easy
Everything falls neatly into line
They don’t even have to try and as the years go by
things always seem to work out fine
Others seem to face a constant struggle
chasing dreams and false alarms
It’s hard to understand how with all the best laid plans
there’s still so many ways a heart can come to harm

We’ve come the long way round
No short cuts along the way
We’ve come the long way round
To get to where we are today
But it’s all been worth the waiting
To find the love we’ve found
We’ve come the long way round

We’ve both travelled different journeys
To arrive together in this place
The route that has defined how our lives have intertwined
Has been following the map of faith and grace
Different worlds with different stories
Different beats on different drums
Now together every prayer is for the future that we share
Believing that the best is yet to come

We’ve come the long way round
No short cuts along the way
We’ve come the long way round
To get to where we are today
But it’s all been worth the waiting
To find the love we’ve found
We’ve come the long way round

We’re not an overnight sensation
We’re not a bolt from out the blue
Its been a slow train coming
To reach our destination
To finally arrive at me and you

We’ve come the long way round
No short cuts along the way
We’ve come the long way round
To get to where we are today
But it’s all been worth the waiting
To find the love we’ve found
We’ve come the long way round
