Oh, the road is long.
We are just passing through.
I look upon the hill where the Savior bled
A crown of thorns upon His holy head
He carried every cross for the sins of men
To wash our souls and bring us home again
Yes Lord, He suffered so that we might live
With nothing left but perfect love to give
But look at how we wander from the light
In the middle of our darkest, coldest night.
Every day our numbered days are growing thin
Every step we take away from hidden sin
With every stride, the grave is drawing near
One step closer to the end we fear
Oh, we must repent before the closing door
And meet the King who suffered evermore
Thank You Jesus, for the grace You show
Before we leave this world to where we go.
Oh, Hebrew boys, remember how He cried
For all the shame and all the pain He died
The lashes fell, the blood began to flow
To save a world that truly didn't know
But time is slipping like the desert sand
We walk upon this broken, shifting land
Each heartbeat is a ticking clock of grace
To find our refuge in His holy face.
Every day our numbered days are growing thin
Every step we take away from hidden sin
With every stride, the grave is drawing near
One step closer to the end we fear
Oh, we must repent before the closing door
And meet the King who suffered evermore
Thank You Jesus, for the grace You show
Before we leave this world to where we go.
Glory, glory, the time is short today
Let’s cast the weight of all our pride away
Hallelujah, He’s waiting at the gate
Don’t let your soul arrive a day too late
The grave is open, but the sky is wide
Find your comfort in the Crucified.
So walk with caution on this narrow way
And keep your spirit focused while you pray
For yesterday is gone, tomorrow waits
Beyond the shadow of the pearly gates
Praise Him for the mercy that we find
Leaving all the vanity behind
Amen, the soul is ready for the call
To rise above before we finally fall.
Every day our numbered days are growing thin
Every step we take away from hidden sin
With every stride, the grave is drawing near
One step closer to the end we fear
Oh, we must repent before the closing door
And meet the King who suffered evermore
Thank You Jesus, for the grace You show
Before we leave this world to where we go.
One step closer now.
Just one more step until we see His face.
Amen.
Amen.
