I went to church on Sunday, I swung my chariot low. Reached up to kiss the deacon, he said "You'd better go". Trouble, I'm in trouble with him. Trouble's where I'm going.
You led me into the trackless woods. My falling stars, my dark endeavor.. You were bitterness and lies, a bill of goods, a bribe. You weren't a consolation ever..
I've traveled high, I traveled low. And there was no place that I didn't go. Looking for this kind of happy with you. . I had a love, it wasn't right.
Far away I've traveled,. To stand once more alone.. And hear my memories echo,. Through these hills that I call home.. . As a child I roamed this valley..
Theres a Whole Lotta Heaven. Theres a whole lot of people talkin bout getting in the gloryland way. Walkin straight and narrow, trying to get to heaven someday.
There's a wall in Washington. and it's made of cold black granite. They say 60,000 names are etched there in it. in that wall in Washington. . A father, he traveled from far away.
A cold wind against my shoulder woke me up in the middle of the night. An Autumn leaf was scraping against my window. like it was trying hard to get inside.
They tell me of a home far beyond the sky. They tell me of a home far away. They tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise. O, they tell me of an unclouded day.
Come along my dear, the time's growin' near,. We'll have to walk down where the field is overgrown. Consumption's claimed his life and we dare not miss the sight,.
The souls of all my dears have flown to the stars. The souls of all my dears have flown to the stars. . Memory, your hour returns with each new year. I see, I hear, I touch you drawing near.
Well, I looked up into heaven, I thought I'd solve life's mysteries.. I observed the constellations for a clue to my destiny.. But the rhyme of life confounds me, things will be as things will be..
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,. the emblem of suffering and shame. and I love that old cross where the dearest and best. for a world of lost sinners was slain.
I have good news to bring. And that is why I sing,. All my joys with you I will share.. Well I'm gonna take a trip. On the old gospel ship. And go sailing through the air..
I was laying on my belly on the middle of the living room floor. I was watching Howdy Doody so Im guessin it was right around four. When I saw my baby brother tumblin from the top of the stairs.
I stopped in the church to pray, It was the middle of the day. And I dont even know if I believe in God But I laid my soul on the table. And left that place believing I was able to pull back the curtain my old fears had drawn.
Precious child in my arms. how I yearn in my heart. to make it easier than it was for me. but we all have our times and our stairs we must climb. there is one thing I'm hoping you'll see.
Joseph was an old man and an old man was he,. and he has married Mary, the queen of Galilee,. and he has married Mary, the queen of Galilee. . As Joseph and Mary walked in the garden green,.
I've been throwin' horseshoes over my left shoulder. I spent most all my life searchin' for that four-leaf clover. Yet you ran with me chasin' my rainbows.
There will be a happy meeting in Heaven, I know. When we see the many loved ones we've known here below. Gathered on that blessed hilltop with hearts all aglow.
(Too late too late too late). Too late too late to ask forgiveness too late too late for me to cry. She's gone she's gone she left this morning and this is how she said goodbye.
