1)
I've been traveling for Jesus the most of my life,
over hills and the valleys so low,
I've been tempted by the trials the troubles and strife
but someday I'll be home with the Lord.
2)
Just ahead is the sunset when Jesus will say
"No more work in the vineyard for you".
He will rock me to sleep in the cradle of time
I'll awake in the Harbor of Love.
3)
Someday I'll cross the river inside the homegate
I may look thru the windows of time
I may see a dear brother I've known on my way
sitting down by the side of the road.
CHORUS
In the shadow of this journey when friends seem so few
I have cried for the Lord to be near
I believe I hear him walking in the cool of the day
as I set by the side of the road.
