I Know What Lies Ahead

Oak Ridge Boys

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.
