Gospel Song – Highway to Heaven

Gospel Song – Highway to Heaven.

There are questions about who composed this gospel classic. Many resources state that the writer of this song is unknown. On the other hand, “Highway to Heaven” is included in a Thomas Dorsey compilation, which implies that the legendary Father of Gospel Music wrote this song. We do know that at one point it was newly arranged by Geron Davis and Bill Gaither. This exciting, up-tempo gospel tune has a lot of energy, which is exactly what is needed as we walk up the King’s Highway.

 

LYRICS – Highway to Heaven

It’s a highway to heaven, none can walk up there but the pure in heart.

It’s a highway to heaven, walkin’ up the King’s Highway.

 

If you’re not walking, start while I’m talking, walking up the King’s Highway.

Christ walks beside you, angels will guide you, when you’re walking up the King’s Highway.

 

My way gets brighter, my load gets lighter, walking up the King’s Highway.

And you’ll be confessing that there is a blessing, when you’re walking up the King’s Highway.
