I'm working on a road
That leads to glory
I want to shake my Savior's hand
I'm building my hope
On things eternal
I'm working on a road to glory land
Each day I get so lonely
While living here below
My Savior's waiting patiently
I'm planning now to go
I want a firm foundation
That's built with God's own hand
That's why I started building
A road to glory land
I'm working on a road
That leads to glory
I want to shake my Savior's hand
I'm building my hope
On things eternal
I'm working on a road to glory land
Oh, listen to me, sinner
Don't you want to go
You know we have no promise
Of living here below
You know He suffered for our sins
And died upon the cross
For all who would believe in Him
Their soul will not be lost
I'm working on a road
That leads to glory
I want to shake my Savior's hand
I'm building my hope
On things eternal
I'm working on a road to glory land
And when this road is finished
I want to travel on
I can hear the angels singing
Up there around the throne
I want to see my mother
And take her by the hand
As soon as I have finished
The road to glory land
I'm working on a road
That leads to glory
I want to shake my Savior's hand
I'm building my hope
On things eternal
I'm working on a road to glory land
I'm working on a road
That leads to glory
I want to shake my Savior's hand
I'm building my hope
On things eternal
I'm working on a road to glory land
