WALKING THE KING'S HIGHWAY-Carter Family

We shall see the desert as the rose
Walking in the king's highway
There'll be singing where salvation goes
Walking in the king's highway

CHORUS: There's a highway there and a way
Where sorrow shall flee away
And the light shines bright as the day
Walking in the king's highway

We shall see the glory of the lord
Walking in the king's highway
And behold the glory of his word
Walking in the king's highway

There the rain shall fall upon the ground
Walking in the king's highway
And the springs of water shall be found
Walking in the king's highway

No unclean things shall pass o'er here
Walking in the king's highway
Just the ransomed ones without a fear
Walking in the king's highway
