lyrics

He came running down a trail of fire
Burning through that holy night
Breaking down another sacred throne
Turning that mercy into stone

I was blinded in a flash of love
Brought down by a holy dove
Aching for another chance to fight
And kill off all of that light

But He said "Oh no, that river don't flow
To the shores of Babylon…
Take your ransom down the Gospel Road
And put away your tears."

Now I wake up in this house of pain
Holding onto my enemy
Looking for another trembling hand
To lead me out of my broken land

Into the valley of the cross I'll go
With my pride and my dusty soul
(You can) take my body, take my name
But I won't feel no shame

Chorus:
(And I say) "Oh, Lord I'll crumble and fall
Like the walls of Jericho
(But I'll) take my chances on the Gospel Road
And leave my sins behind"

In these arms I feel the wind and rain
Bring me back to my home again
I may suffer in distress…
(But) in you I'll find my holy rest.

And you say "Oh no, I'll never let go
Tho' you stumble, tho' you fall
Take my hand on this Gospel Road
And I will take your fear"
