[Verse 1]
C                   Am
Matthew, Mark, and Luke and John
F                               G
Told about Jesus on that gospel highway
C                   Am
Matthew, Mark, and Luke and John
F                               G
Told about Jesus on that gospel Road
    C                               F
How His pillow was the stone, Where He laid His head
         C                           G
How the hungry five thousand on the hill were fed
        Am
How the people came and listened to him everything he said 
   F                     G
Walkin’ down that Gospel Road
[Verse 2]
C                          Am
The desire of ages now had finally come
F                             G
Born to walk upon that Gospel Highway
C                         Am
Born of a Virgin down in Bethlehem
F                             G
Born to walk upon that Gospel Road
    C                         F
And life would begin at the touch of his hand
      C                                G
The people would listen to him through out the land
        Am
For never a man spoke like this man, 
   F                     G
Walkin’ down that Gospel Road
[Verse 3]
C                        Am
John the Baptist said the kingdom has come
F                               G
Baptizing’ people in the Jordan river
C                        Am
John the Baptist said the kingdom has come
F                                G
And they came to hear him at the Jordan stream
    C                               F
The voice from the wilderness said hear what I say
     C                      G
A redeemer is comin’ and today is the day
        Am
I was send to tell you now to make straight the way
   F                            G
For him to walk upon that gospel road
[Verse 4]
C                   Am
So two by two and three by three
F                                           G
They walked in His footsteps on that Gospel highway
C                Am
Two by two and three by three
F                                     G
Walked in His footsteps on the Gospel road
    C                                      F
And they would died in shipwrecks and in the lion's den
           C                        G
they would died on crosses and on spears of men
         Am
But when one fell back, two more would start again
   F                     G
Walking down that Gospel Road
[Verse 5]
 C                         Am
Yes, Paul and Silas in the midnight jail
F                                      G
For talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel highway
C                      Am
Paul and Silas in the midnight jail
F                                      G
For talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel road
    C                                F
And they sang out rejoicing and the jail split wide
         C                           G
The doors busted open and they walked outside
        Am
But they went back to preaching through the countryside
   F                   G
Walking on the Gospel Road
[Verse 6]
C                              Am
Goin’ to tell the people now in Nazareth
F                                  G
He’s come to walk upon that Gospel Highway 
C                              Am
Goin’ to tell the people now in Nazareth 
F                                  G
He’s come to walk upon that Gospel Road 
    C                         F
And into the Synagogue to road did lead
       C                                  G
To let them know the thing on which their soul must feed
     Am
The time has come to help the poor and those in need
   F                        G
The weight upon that Gospel Road
[Verse 7]
C                                   Am
Hey, won’t you come on with me from Jerusalem
F                                   G
And walking to Emmaus on that dusty highway?
C                                   Am
Hey, won’t you come on with me from Jerusalem
F                                   G
And walking to Emmaus on that dusty road?
    C                                F
The travelling gets harder and with each rebuff
       C                        G
Some turn back because they’ve had enough
     Am
But Jesus told you it was gonna be rough
   F                     G
To walk upon His Gospel Road
