I'll Take the Old Highway

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 highway
The one that's called straight
It's 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
