Blue Highway's version has different lyrics and they don't post their lyrics on this song along with their other songs (which is then difficult for listeners to figure them out. Anyone know why?

Here's what I could figure, but I trouble at the third and last line of Blue Mountain Band's version. Maybe someone else knows?

Live on Down the Line
Blue Highway Band
(from their Wondrous Love Album)
website: bluehighwayband.com

vs 1
Come on you good people
Gather 'round me here
See God's kingdom deep within    ??
Praise the Lord He come to set you free.

Chorus:
I'm a gonna live on down the line
Gonna live on down the line
I'm a gonna live on down the line
Where the Sabbath has no end.

Vs 2
Well there was bold Daniel
Went down in the lion's den
But when he prayed to Jesus
Jesus was his friend.

Chorus

vs 3
Some say give me silver
Some say give me gold
But I say "Give me the Holy Word
It's a blessing to my soul!"

Chorus

vs 4
Come on, you good people,
Tell me what you see?
Do ya see our Lord ascending
Calvary's on the tree    ??? not sure this last line

I'm a gonna live on down the line
Gonna live on down the line
I'm a gonna live on down the line
Where the Sabbath has no end!
