Verse: 1 
G                                 C       G 
I've been traveling for Jesus for most of my life 
                             D7 
Over hills and the valleys below 
     G                               C           G 
I've been tempted by the trials, the trouble and strife 
                    D7            G 
But someday I'll be home with the Lord

In the shadow of this journey when friends seem so few 
                                 D7 
I have prayed for the Lord to be close 
  G                                  C           G 
I believe I heard him walking in the cool of the day 
                D7          G 
As I sit by the side of the road 

Verse: 2 
G                             C          G 
Just ahead is the sunset when Jesus will say 
                                 D7 
No more work in the vineyard for you 
        G                       C         G 
He will rock me to sleep in the cradle of time 
                    D7        G 
I will awake in the harbor of love

Someday I'll cross the river inside the home gate 
                                D7 
I may look back to earth here below 
      G                       C             G 
I may see a dear brother I've known all the way 
                    D7          G 
Sitting down by the side of the road
