The old preacher man stood there in the pulpit
The church house was empty almost;
His eyes filled with tears, his mind filled with memories
Of not so long ago
When the church house was full, not one pew was empty
The altar was stained with Saints’ tears;
As he stands there this morning and sounds out the warning;
Once again letting them know
There’s a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun;
The way is still straight, there’s a race to be run
You can livе as you please, but you must pay the cost;
And thе highway to Heaven still goes by the cross
Some of the members thought he was “old fashioned”
Unwilling to change with the times
So they found a new church with more modern day preachers
Who were willing to let things go by
But the old preacher stood for what he believed in
And what he had preached forty years;
As he stands there this morning in a near empty church house
There’s a Heaven to gain, and a Hell to shun;
The way is still straight, there’s a race to be run
You can live as you please, but you must pay the cost;
And the highway to Heaven still goes by the cross
You can live as you please, but you must pay the cost;
And the highway to Heaven still goes by the cross
