I
I OFTEN THINK OF THE DAYS SO SWIFTLY PASSING AWAY
THE ROAD TO HEAVEN SEEMS HARD TO FIND
BUT I'M DOING MY BEST TO REACH THAT HOME OF THE BLEST
AND MAKE IT EASY FOR THOSE BEHIND.
II
THE ROAD TO HEAVEN IS STRAIGHT AND OH SO NARROW THE GATE
AROUND YOU TRIALS OF EVERY KIND
BUT IF WE CLEAN OUT THE SNARES THAT HINDER OUR PRAYERS
WE'LL MAKE IT EASY FOR THOSE BEHIND.
III
I'm trying daily to live for others, something to give
my brothers, groping in darkness, behind;
I want to hear them some day, in Glory, lovingly, say,
you made it easy for those behind.
CHORUS
OH YES I'M WORKING THE ROAD WORKING THE ROAD
HELPING THE WEAK AND BLIND
I WANT TO SMOOTH OUT THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO HEAVEN ABOVE
AND MAKE IT EASY FOR THOSE BEHIND.
