I searched and I searched for the road that leads to glory, I wondered if I'd ever find the way; I sat down to rest for my feet had grown so weary, But then I heard a voice within me say. You've got to keep on walking, keep on walking Walking in the light of the Lord; You'll get to heaven someday better get in the right way, Walking in the light of the Lord. I prayed and I prayed for the Lord to give me mercy, I prayed for Him to brighten up the day; I was so afraid for the road now seemed so lonely, But then I heard a voice within me say.
