the long road home
When I was a little boy
I’d pray before I went to sleep
That if I died before I woke
I’d ask the L my soul to keep
As I got much older
I left such things as this behind
I became so involved with worldly ways
That prayer was the last thing on my mind
It was only during hard times
When I could not cope
That I would call upon my GOD
And pray that there would be some hope
Many years would go passing by
Before I saw the light
Though His kingdom is in heaven
I’ve never been out of His sight
I’ve learned that GOD is number One
In my life not two or three
And if I live my life the way He asks
He will always walk with me
My time on earth will end some day
My bones will turn to dust
My soul will enter the pearly gates
The reward from my GOD who loves and trust
