[Verse 1]
I walked the road of sin for many lonesome years,
Until the light (yes till the light)
Came shining through (It came shining through from heaven)
God’s love did save me from the bonds of doubt and fear,
It made me happy, and now I’m never blue (I’m never blue or lonesome)
I want to be of service to my blessed king,
I’m gonna shout (I’m gonna shout)
I’m gonna sing (yes I’m gonna sing)
For Jesus ready I am waiting now my Father’s face to see
The moment when my blessed savior says to ‘come and follow me’

[Chorus:]
I’m gonna walk the path my Savior did trod
I’m gonna seek the highway leading to my God
Although it leads me through dark valleys and o’er mighty mountains steep
I’ll walk the straight and narrow path that Jesus said was for his sheep.
I’m gonna serve my Lord and Master every day as on I go
And try to lift some weary pilgrim’s heavy load
And when at last my life on this old Earth is o’er
I’ll rest with Christ my Savior on that blessed happy golden shore.

[Verse 2]
Some day there’ll be a great reunion in the sky
I’ll meet old friends (yes meet old friends)
And loved ones too (all my loved ones too in Glory)
Then I’ll see Jesus and will live with Him on high
My heartaches, trials and troubles will be through
I’ll never more be weary
I know I’ll have a crown awaiting over there
A crown of life (yes crown of life)
For me to wear (Crown for me to wear in heaven)
Ready I am striving now to reach that blessed shore
And so one day (until?) the Blessed Savior says to ‘come and die no more’

[Chorus:]
I’m gonna walk the path my Savior did trod
I’m gonna seek the highway leading to my God
Although it leads me through dark valleys and o’er mighty mountains steep
I’ll walk the straight and narrow path that Jesus said was for his sheep.
I’m gonna serve my Lord and Master every day as on I go
And try to lift some weary pilgrim’s heavy load
And when at last my life on this old Earth is o’er
I’ll rest with Christ my Savior on that blessed happy golden shore.

[Repeat Chorus]
