No Back Roads Lyrics by Crossway

This I Know

0

If you're gonna make that Heaven-bound journey
Well, I ran into the preacher just the other day
Told him how I was livin' and how I had it made
Told him what a good person that I was
Had my ticket to Heaven, everything was good
Well, he got this funny look all over his face
He said, "I don't think we're talkin' about the same place"
He said, "It's gonna take more than bein' good to get in
Will you give me just a minute, let me tell you, my friend"
Well, therе's no back roads on the way to Glory
It's a narrow street, it's one way only
Therе's no short cuts mapped out or side streets to it
It's by the blood and you got to go through it
Reservations made by the Great I Am
You must be forgiven and be born again
So, if you're gonna make that Heaven-bound journey
There's no back roads on the way to Glory
As I listened to him, it was perfectly clear
I knew I wasn't ready, my heart was filled with fear
I said, "What must I do to get inside the gate?"
"I thought you'd never ask, let me show you the way"
Well, there's no back roads on the way to Glory
It's a narrow street, it's one way only
There's no short cuts mapped out or side streets to it
It's by the blood and you got to go through it
Reservations made by the Great I Am
You must be forgiven and be born again
So, if you're gonna make that Heaven-bound journey
There's no back roads on the way to Glory
Well, there's no back roads on the way to Glory
It's a narrow street, it's one way only
There's no short cuts mapped out or side streets to it
It's by the blood and you got to go through it
Reservations made by the Great I Am
You must be forgiven and be born again
So, if you're gonna make that Heaven-bound journey
There's no back roads on the way to Glory
Hey, hey
If you're gonna make that Heaven-bound journey
There's no back roads on the way to Glory
No back roads
