There are many new roads we see each day Each one claims they are the way To a life of satisfaction more than we've dreamed They are lined with things that please the eye But they cannot satisfy So I decided to walk the highway with the redeemed I'll take the old higway The one that's called straight It's so very narrow All the way to the gate It started at Calvary that's where I got on It's the old old highway paved with grace all the way home Our highway may look to worldly men Like it's a road to a bitter end For we are promised tribulations all along The difference is easy to explain for we have everything to gain So just count me in the number going home I'll take the old higway The one that's called straight It's so very narrow All the way to the gate It started at Calvary that's where I got on It's the old old highway paved with grace all the way home I'll take the old higway The one that's called straight It's so very narrow All the way to the gate It started at Calvary that's where I got on It's the old old highway paved with grace all the way home
