The Upward Way

Listen

bro­ther

while we sing

As the bells of Heav­en ring

Let us tell to you the sto­ry of the cross;

Jesus died to set you free

That is what He did for me

As I press along the up­ward way.

Glory to God I’m on my jour­ney home

Singing and I’m shout­ing as I march along

I am go­ing by and by

to the pal­ace of the King

I am press­ing on the up­ward way.

If there’s some­thing else you need

He your hun­gry soul will feed

He will sanc­ti­fy and make the tem­ple clean;

He will come in to ab­ide

Then you’ll sing what­e’er be­tide

As you press along the up­ward way.

You may think He will not come

But He will if there is room

So then

bro­ther

op­en wide to Him the door;

He will search you thro’ and thro’

Cleanse and make the heart anew

As you press along the up­ward way.

Say! I real­ly did not know

He could cleanse and fill me so;

But by faith I launched far out away from shore;

’Tis so sweet to know and be

Dead to self

from sin set free

As you press along the up­ward way.
