This road I'm on is straight and narrow But it leads to a better home. It was laid by Christ one day at Calvary. While He suffered all alone This road may lead over many high mountains And valleys dark and low. But, I'll walk each day with sweet assurance And safely I'll reach my home.
CHORUS: Ahead there's joy and gladness And rest for the weary soul. Ahead there's peace and continment Everybody will be whole I'll be at home with Jesus Where tears will never be shed. Though often this road gets rough and rocky Still I know what lies ahead.
While on this road I get so weary And often my feet would stray. But a gentle hand still leads me onward And helps me find the way. As I climb each hill and cross each valley, By his hand I'm daily lead. But I won't look back, gonna keep on walking For I know what lies ahead.
CHORUS: Ahead there's joy and gladness And rest for the weary soul. Ahead there's peace and continment Everybody will be whole I'll be at home with Jesus Where tears will never be shed. Though often this road gets rough and rocky Still I know what lies ahead.
TAG: Though often this road gets rough and rocky Still I know what lies ahead.
