I
I SEARCHED AND I SEARCHED,
FOR THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO GLORY.
I WONDERED IF I'D EVER FIND THE WAY
I SAT DOWN TO REST
FOR MY FEET HAD GROWN SO WEARY
BUT THEN I HEARD A VOICE WITHIN ME SAY.
II
I PRAYED AND I PRAYED.
FOR THE LORD TO GIVE ME MERCY.
I PRAYED FOR HIM TO BRIGHTEN UP THE WAY.
I WAS SO AFRAID FOR THE ROAD NOW SEEMED SO LONELY.
BUT THEN I HEARD A VOICE WITHIN ME SAY.
CHORUS
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP WALKING KEEP WALKING
WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD.
YOU'LL GET TO HEAVEN SOMEDAY.
BETTER GET IN THE RIGHT WAY.
WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD.
