Traveling down the straight and narrow
You will face many harrows, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Maneuvering will be a trial
Stay tuned to Heaven’s dial oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
On the road, on the road, on the road to Zion
On the road, on the road, on the road to Zion
Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ
As you journey to the other side
Please do oooh keep him in view oooh
The vehicle is to pray
To the Lord night and day, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
The pagans will cut you off
Broadside you with malicious talk, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
On the road, on the road, on the road to Zion
On the road, on the road, on the road to Zion
Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ
As you journey to the other side
Please do oooh keep him in view oooh
Ahead are minefields
The dangers have been sealed. oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Proceed with all your zeal
Keep your hands on the wheel, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
On the road there will be rage
Wars they will wage
Don’t you lose your faith
God will put on the brakes, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Sometimes the road is rocky
And mi know say it hard
That’s why mi a fi ball out
Why me lord
But don’t you forget
Your purpose and your call
With Christ by your side you’ll be standing tall
On the road, on the road, on the road to Zion
On the road, on the road, on the road to Zion (repeat)
