Oak Ridge Boys, The - I Know What Lies Ahead Lyrics






This road I'm on is strait and narrow
But it leads to a better home
It was laid by Christ one day at Calvary
While He suffered all alone
This road may lead over many high mountains
And valleys dark and low
But I'll walk each day with sweet assurance
And I'll safely reach my home

Ahead there's joy and gladness
And rest for the weary soul
Ahead there's peace and contentment
Everybody will be happy and whole
I'll be at home with Jesus
Where tears will never be shed
Though often this road gets rough and rocky
Still I know what lies ahead

While on this road I get so weary
And often my feet would stray
But a gentle hand still leads me onward
And helps me find the way
As I climb each hill and cross each valley
By His hand I'm daily lead
But I won't look back gonna keep on walking
For I know what lies ahead

    This is beautiful, so many memories. I wanted so much to share all this wonderful music with my dear nephew as my uncle shared it with me, but now I am so afraid, my nephew is missing in Ghana.we both know what lies ahead, and we will see one another again over Jordan where some say I am to go soon. God bless whoever posted this,, it is a great comfort.

    And valleys dark and low
    But I'll walk each day with sweet assurance
    And I'll safely reach my home

    Ahead there's joy and gladness
    And rest for the weary soul
    Ahead there's peace and contentment
    Everybody will be happy and whole

    I always look at the number of people who give a song like this a thumbs down. What is there not to like ?

    V.... T....

    They're probably people who were looking for a country song and were disappointed to find a gospel song instead. For me, I think they do a great job on this song.

    I love the ORB's and have listened to them all of their 40 years.  Try to see them in concert in past 15 years two three times a year or more.  They are the greatest!  Really put on great performance.  God Bless them always.

    M.... ....

    Millie3917 The ORB'S have been in existence since the '40's,😀just Not these Same 4 Fellows ! 😅

  24. A.... ....

    I just love the ORB's... I have loved them ever since riding down the road in the car with my dad as a young girl he would be playing their music and I would be singing along the best that I could... There is not one song that they do that I do not like. HUGS to all of the ORB's!!!

    Beautiful song, Charles Johnson & the Revivers does a wonderful job on it also

    I don´t want to mean bad but i think Richard and the Oak ridge boys would be of much better just singing religious music since when the sing that, they´are unequalable
