Lyrics

Cross at the End of the Road

Mack Bailey (Spa Creek Music ASCAP)



As I travel this long lonesome highway

My thoughts are heavier than my load

Each mile marker sign is a sin I left behind

'Til I reach my Cross at the end of the road,

'Til I reach my Cross at the end of the road.



The Lord has surely been good to me,

I wish I could say the same

I came into this world an innocent child

And I'll leave bearing Jesus' name,

And I'll leave bearing Jesus' name.



My memory is flying down this dark, lonely road,

Shadows of days gone by.

Miles of lost chances seem to fade through the years,

As I keep my eye on Heaven's Holy prize,

I keep my eye on Heaven's Holy prize.



I've logged some miles just to share my song

With nothing but this guitar in my hand,

I'll sing 'til the Lord says, "My son, come on home,

I want you here in Heaven's Holy Band,"

And I want to play in Heaven's Holy Band.



As I travel this long lonesome highway

My thoughts are much heavier than my load

Each mile marker sign is a sin I left behind

'Til I reach my Cross at the end of the road,

'Til I reach my Cross at the end of the road,

'Til I reach my Cross at the end of the road.
