Lyrics The Oak Ridge Boys

The Oak Ridge Boys

Life's Railway to Heaven

Life is like a mountain railway

With an engineer that's brave

We must make the run successful

From the cradle to the grave

Watch the curves, the hills, the tunnels

Never falter never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eyes upon the rail

Blessed Savior Thou will guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In Thy praise forevermore

As you roll across the trestle

Spanning Jordan's swelling tide

You'll behold the Union Depot

Into which your train will glide

There you'll meet the Superintendent

God, the Father, God the Son

With the extended hands He'll greet you

"Weary Pilgrim, welcome home!"

Blessed Savior Thou will guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In Thy praise forevermore

Forevermore
