I've been traveling for Jesus for most of my life
Over hills and the valleys below
I've been tempted by the trials, the trouble and strife
But someday I'll be home with the Lord
In the shadow of this journey when friends seem so few
I have prayed for the Lord to be close
I believe I heard him walking in the cool of the day
As I sit by the side of the road
Verse: 2
Just ahead is the sunset when Jesus will say
No more work in the vineyard for you
He will rock me to sleep in the cradle of time
I will awake in the harbor of love
In the shadow of this journey when friends seem so few
I have prayed for the Lord to be close
I believe I heard him walking in the cool of the day
As I sit by the side of the road
Verse: 3
Someday I'll cross the river inside the home gate
I may look back to earth here below
I may see a dear brother I've known all the way
Sitting down by the side of the road
In the shadow of this journey when friends seem so few
I have prayed for the Lord to be close
I believe I heard him walking in the cool of the day
As I sit by the side of the road
