life is like the mountain railroad with an engineer that's brave we must make
the run successful from the cradle to the grave watch the curve that fills the tunnels
never falter never fail keep your hand upon the throttle and your eyes upon the rail
blessed savior thou will guide us till we reach that blessed shore
where the angels want to join
us in that praise forevermore
as you roll across the trestle spanning jordan's swelling tide
you'll behold the union depot into which your train will glide
there you'll meet the superintendent god the father god the son
with a hearty joyous greeting weary pilgrims welcome home
blessed savior thou will guide us till we reach that blessed shore
where the angels wait to join us in that praise forevermore
in thy praise forevermore
once again i picked a song that comes to me from my childhood years
ralph emory calls me a nostalgist and i guess it means a person who looks back
and i guess i do because that uh most of any song that i choose to sing
there's usually a memory that will coincide with it this is one of the more beautiful memories
because it's a picture of my dad singing this song and that's the reason i wanted to do it
today it's called on the jericho road
Thank you.
