VERSE 1: WHEN OUR LOVED ONES ARE GONE
AND WE JOURNEY ALONE
LORD IT'S A HARD ROAD HOME
LEAD US ON BY THE HAND
TO THAT GREAT PROMISED LAND
CAUSE, LORD IT'S A HARD ROAD HOME

CHORUS: OH, THE MOUNTAINS ARE HIGH
AND THE RIVER'S SO WIDE
HELP US FOLLOW THE WAY YOU HAVE SHOWN
LET US WALK IN YOUR LIGHT
THROUGH THE DARKEST OF NIGHT
CAUSE, LORD IT'S A HARD ROAD HOME

VERSE 2: THERE'S SO MUCH WORK TO DO
AND THE HELPERS ARE FEW
AND WE KNOW WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE
ALL OUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS
WILL BE THERE 'TIL THE END
BUT LORD IT'S A HARD ROAD HOME

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: I DON'T MEAN TO COMPLAIN
'BOUT SORROWS AND PAIN
CAUSE MY FRIENDS ALL HAVE TRIALS OF THEIR OWN
WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN STAND
HELP US WALK HAND IN HAND
CAUSE LORD IT'S A HARD ROAD HOME

REPEAT CHORUS
