Highways Of Home

1. One day a Savior came down to this earth,
Amid sin and in sorrow did roam,
Oh, how heaven missed Him, His Father was grieved,
For Hed never been away from home.

2. This evil streaking, these modern events,
Evrything in this world is all wrong,
The night is upon us, the day is far spent,
Were on the last highway to home.

3. Our loving Savior, they nailed to the tree,
But amid the great sorrows of Rome,
He loved till the end all those that betrayed Him,
Praying, Father, forgive all their wrong.

4. Abused by the hammer, and the nails in His hands,
Abused by the evils of Rome,
They did not confound Him, He bowed His sweet head,
He was travling the highways to home.

5. The lights of that city, theyre just up ahead,
The road signs are pointing to home,
The blood of the martyrs, and the words Jesus said,
Show were travling the highways of home.

Chorus: Were travling the highways of home, dear brother,
Were travling the highways of home,
Oh, look up ahead, theres the lights of that city,
Were travling the highways of home.
