The Heavenly Road
"You may talk of my name as much as you please,
And carry my name abroad,
But I really do believe I 'm a child of God
As I walk in de heavenly road.
O, won't you go wid me? (3x.)
For to keep our garments clean.
"O, Satan is a mighty busy ole man,
And roll rocks in my way ;
But Jesus is my bosom friend,
And roll 'em out of de way.
O, won't you go wid me? (3x.)
For to keep our garments clean.
"Come, my brudder, if you never did pray,
I hope you may pray to-night ;
For I really believe I 'm a child of God
As I walk in de heavenly road.
O, won't you,"
