Life's Railway to Heaven

Brad Paisley · This Is Country Music [2011]

Life is like a mountain railway

With an engineer that's brave

We must make the run successful

From the cradle to the grave

Watch for curves and hills and valleys

Never falter never fail

And keep your hands upon the throttle

And your eye upon the rail



Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In God's praise forevermore



As you roll across the trestle

Spanning Jordan's swelling tide

You behold the Union Depot

Into which your train will glide

There you'll meet the Superintendent

God, the Father, God, the Son

With a hearty joyous greeting

Weary pilgrim, welcome home



Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In God's praise forevermore



Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In God's praise forevermore

Where the angels wait to join us

In God's praise forevermore



So turn it on, turn it up

And sing along
