Life is one-way tracks Ever forward, never back, As you’re born the ride begins And you must travel till it ends.
From births first cry To your final goodbye It's long to journeys end With trials at every bend. Temptation will surround And tribulations abound As you travel life's railway To it's end on judgment day.
There are mountains to climb And troubles will wind Around you as a thorny vine While enticements flow as wine. Satan will offer pleasures Of the flesh without measure And temptation will be great To sample sin from his plate.
Keep your eyes upon the rails Trust in Jesus without fail, Keep your hands clasp in prayer And God will get you there. Life's tracks can twist and wind But God won't leave behind Passengers who accept his hand To board His train to Glory Land.
Life's journey is hard and long And it's way littered with stone But you'll never falter, never fail When you ride God's silver rails.
