[1] I'm workin' on a road (I'm workin' on a road ) that leads to glory (That leads to glory)
I want to shake (I want to shake) my savior's [5] hand (My savior's hand)
I'm building my [1] hope (I'm building my hope) on things eternal (On things eternal)
I'm workin' on a road (I'm workin' on a road) to gloryland

Each day I get so lonely while [4] livin' here be-[1]-low
My savior's waiting patiently, I'm [2maj] planning now to [5] go
I [1] want a firm foundation that's [4] built with God's own [1] hands
So now I've started building a [5] road to glory-[1]-land

Oh listen to me sinners don't you want to go
You know we have no promise of living here below
You know he suffered for our sins and died upon the cross
For all who did believe on him their souls will not be lost

And when this road is finished I want to travel on
I can hear the angels singing up there around the throne
I want to see my Mother and take her by the hand
As soon as I have finished the road to gloryland
