Joyful Road

Verse 1
Rollin' down this dusty gravel highway
Sun is shining bright on every mile
Steerin' through the valleys and the mountains
Every bend is bringing me a smile
Well, I stopped in at a small town diner
Met a brother with a story to share
We broke some bread and talked about the blessings
And how the Good Lord's kindness is everywhere
​[Chorus]
Oh, I’m traveling down this joyful road
Headin' where the sweet holy breezes blow
Meeting precious friends along the way
Singing praises for another blessed day
Life is good and the journey is sweet
Every single soul I’m blessed to meet
’Cause Heaven's light is shining from above
Filling up my heart with southern gospel love
​[Verse 2]
Shook the hand of a weary stranger
Told him Jesus makes the heavy loads light
We shared a prayer right there on the porch step
Watched the evening shadows turn to night
There's a melody in every welcome
There's a hymn in every friendly wave
I'm just a pilgrim enjoying the sunshine
Grateful for the grace that Jesus gave
​[Chorus]
Oh, I’m traveling down this joyful road
Headin' where the sweet holy breezes blow
Meeting precious friends along the way
Singing praises for another blessed day
Life is good and the journey is sweet
Every single soul I’m blessed to meet
’Cause Heaven's light is shining from above
Filling up my heart with southern gospel love
​[Bridge]
Tempo pickup, piano roll, driving rhythm
Miles keep turnin', wheels keep spinnin'
Every new morning feels like a new beginnin'
From the blue ridge hills to the delta sand
I see God’s grace across this land
Yeah, I see His grace across this land!
​[Guitar & Piano Solo]
​[Chorus]
Oh, I’m traveling down this joyful road
Headin' where the sweet holy breezes blow
Meeting precious friends along the way
Singing praises for another blessed day
Life is good and the journey is sweet
Every single soul I’m blessed to meet
’Cause Heaven's light is shining from above
Filling up my heart with southern gospel love
​[Outro]
Slow down, big vocal finish
Yeah, filling up my heart...
With that sweet, sweet southern gospel love!
Hallelujah, praise the Lord!
