Lyrics

In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
From the val­ley of the world I’ve turned;
In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
I am hap­py in the love once spurned.

Refrain

In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
And the light is shin­ing bright­er ev­ery day;
In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
With my Sav­ior close be­side me all the way.

In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
Heaven’s glo­ry shin­ing round my head;
In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
Love and ser­vice crown the path I tread.

Refrain

In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
Nevermore in sin­ful paths to roam;
In the high­way of the King I’m walk­ing,
Ever on­ward till He calls me home.
