From the Heart
I Know What Lies Ahead
This road I'm on is straight and narrow
But it leads to a better home.
It was laid by Christ one day at Calvary.
While He suffered all alone
This road may lead over many high mountains
And valleys dark and low.
But, I'll walk each day with sweet assurance
And safely I'll reach my home.
CHORUS:
Ahead there's joy and gladness
And rest for the weary soul.
Ahead there's peace and continment
Everybody will be whole
I'll be at home with Jesus
Where tears will never be shed.
Though often this road gets rough and rocky
Still I know what lies ahead.
While on this road I get so weary
And often my feet would stray.
But a gentle hand still leads me onward
And helps me find the way.
As I climb each hill and cross each valley,
By his hand I'm daily lead.
But I won't look back, gonna keep on walking
For I know what lies ahead.
CHORUS:
Ahead there's joy and gladness
And rest for the weary soul.
Ahead there's peace and continment
Everybody will be whole
I'll be at home with Jesus
Where tears will never be shed.
Though often this road gets rough and rocky
Still I know what lies ahead.
