Lyrics
New Highway
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I read a book about a man
Who never went to school
He could tell you more things about life
Than any man ever knew
He didn't study to be a carpenter
But things he could build
Would stand the storms life could bring
No matter how small or big
Chorus:
And he built a new highway to heaven
And few there'll be me that travel thereon
He put me on a new highway to heaven
There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
He didn't study to be a scientist
Or have a doctor's degree
He knew more than any surgeon
Of this world could ever teach
He can remove a stony heart
Put a new one in its place
Jesus does this from inside out
Leaves no scars, no other trace
Repeat chorus
He put me on a new highway to heaven
And few there'll be me that travel thereon
He put me on a new highway to heaven
There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
He put me on a new highway to heaven
