Life's Railway to Heaven

Album: Heartwood

Lyrics

v1)  Life is like a mountain railroad with an engineer so brave
We must make the run successful from the cradle to the grave
Watch the turn, the fill, the tunnel - never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail



CH:  Precious Savior, thou wilt guide us till we reach that golden shore
Where the angels wait to join us in thy praise forevermore



v2)  You must climb the hill of trials, you must cross the bridge of strife
See that Christ is your conductor on this lightning train of life
Always mindful of obstructions, do your duty, never quail
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail



CHORUS



v3)  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 a hearty, joyous greeting: Weary pilgrim, welcome home!



CHORUS
