[Verse 1]
CMatthew, Mark, and LAmuke and John
FTold about Jesus on that gospel Ghighway
CMatthew, Mark, and LAmuke and John
FTold about Jesus on that gospel GRoad
How CHis pillow was the stone, Where FHe laid His head
How the hCungry five thousand on the hGill were fed
How the Ampeople came and listened to him everything he said 
WalFkin’ down that Gospel GRoad
[Verse 2]
CThe desire of ages now had Amfinally come
FBorn to walk upon that Gospel GHighway
CBorn of a Virgin down in BAmethlehem
FBorn to walk upon that Gospel GRoad
And Clife would begin at the toFuch of his hand
The peCople would listen to him through Gout the land
For neveAmr a man spoke like this man, 
WalFkin’ down that Gospel GRoad
[Verse 3]
CJohn the Baptist said the Amkingdom has come
FBaptizing’ people in the Jordan Griver
CJohn the Baptist said the Amkingdom has come
FAnd they came to hear him at the GJordan stream
The Cvoice from the wilderness said hFear what I say
A redCeemer is comin’ and todGay is the day
I was seAmnd to tell you now to make straight the way
For Fhim to walk upon that gospel Groad
[Verse 4]
CSo two by two and thAmree by three
FThey walked in His footsteps on that Gospel Ghighway
CTwo by two and thAmree by three
FWalked in His footsteps on the Gospel Groad
And Cthey would died in shipwrecks and in thFe lion's den
they would Cdied on crosses and on spGears of men
But when Amone fell back, two more would start again
WalFking down that Gospel GRoad
[Verse 5]
YCes, Paul and Silas in the Ammidnight jail
FFor talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel Ghighway
CPaul and Silas in the mAmidnight jail
FFor talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel Groad
And Cthey sang out rejoicing and the jFail split wide
The doors Cbusted open and they walked Goutside
But they Amwent back to preaching through the countryside
WalFking on the Gospel RGoad
[Verse 6]
CGoin’ to tell the people now in AmNazareth
FHe’s come to walk upon that Gospel GHighway 
CGoin’ to tell the people now in AmNazareth

And Cinto the Synagogue to road Fdid lead
To let Cthem know the thing on which their Gsoul must feed
The tAmime has come to help the poor and those in need
The Fweight upon that Gospel GRoad
[Verse 7]
CHey, won’t you come on with me from AmJerusalem
FAnd walking to Emmaus on that dusty Ghighway?

The Ctravelling gets harder and with eFach rebuff
Some tuCrn back because they’ve hGad enough
But JAmesus told you it was gonna be rough
To Fwalk upon His Gospel RGoad
