The Crowning Day ‎#98

98. The Road to Heaven

1 The road to heav’n by Christ was made,
With heav’nly truth the rails are laid;
From earth to heav’n the line extends,
To life eternal where it ends.

Refrain:
All get aboard the Gospel train,
We’ll run it thro’ in Jesus’ name,
We’re going home,
We’re going home,
We’re going home
To die no more.

2 Repentance is the station, then,
Where passengers are taken in;
No fee for them is there to pay,
For Jesus is Himself the way. [Refrain]

3 The Bible is the engineer,
It points the way to heav’n so clear,
Thro’ tunnels dark and dreary here,
It does the way to glory steer. [Refrain]

4 God’s love the fire, His truth the steam
Which drives the engine and the train,
All you who would to glory ride,
Must come to Christ, in Him abide. [Refrain]

5 Come, then, poor sinner, now’s the time
At any station on the line;
If you repent and turn from sin,
The train will stop and take you in. [Refrain]

6 And then to glory we will go,
With all on board as white as snow.
So ring the bell and start the train,
And run it thro’ in Jesus’ name. [Refrain]
