Lyrics

I am on my way to Je­sus
Where with an­gels I will be;
I am on my way to Je­sus,
Bless His name;
I have felt His Spir­it touch me,
And I know from sin I’m free,
And I’m on my way to Je­sus now.

Refrain

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah!
And I’m on my way to Je­sus,
Bless His name.
I have felt His Spir­it touch me,
And I know from sin I’m free,
And I’m on my way to Je­sus now.

I have walked in Sa­tan’s broad way,
But I saw death at the end;
I am on my way to Je­sus,
Bless His name;
But I’ve changed my way of walk­ing,
And have found a pre­cious friend,
And I’m on my way to Je­sus now.

Refrain

I’ve had ma­ny tri­als and trou­bles
That along with sin must go;
I am on my way to Je­sus,
Bless His name;
But I’ve found a way that’s bet­ter,
For my heart it tells me so,
And I’m on my way to Je­sus now.
