“Is This the Right Road Home?
Is this the right road home, O Lord?

The stony path is hard to tread,
Each step brings some fresh ill.

And joyous songs from free hearts flow.

On the cross, He is dying…

For us, He suffered and died,
Taking our place at Calvary!
He died the world to save!
He was buried in a

I have a son who’s five years old, a boy so very fine.
When I look at him it seems to me that all the world is mine.
But seldom do I ever see my son awake and bright.
I only see him when he sleeps. I’m only home at night.
When I come home so weary
