Each day I get so lonely while living here below

I want a firm foundation that's built with God's own hand

Now I started building a road to Gloryland

I'm workin' on a road (I'm working a road)
That leads to Glory (that leads to Glory)
I want to shake (I want to shake)

My Savior's hand (my Savior's hand)
                G
I'm building my hope (I'm building my hope)

You know you have no promise while living here below
    G                                 C             G
You know He suffered for our sins and died upon the cross
                                     D7               G
For all who did believe on Him their soul will not be lost

And when this road is finished I wanna travel on
                                 A7               D7
I can hear the angels singing up there around the throne
  G                         C               G
I want to see my mother and take her by the hand

Soon as I have finished the road to Gloryland
