CHORUS >

O Lord lead me to the right road!  O Lord lead me to the right road

O Lord lead me to the right road...that's where I long to be

...................

I was a sinner man - yes sir-ee... I loved sin and sin loved me

We were thicker than flies could be - be wise and heed this warning

 

REPEAT CHORUS

The easy life was what I sought - everything that could be bought

All the pleasures that could be taught - from dusk right through till dawning

 

REPEAT CHORUS

Then one troubled night I dreamed - of more to life than sin had schemed

And something bright and gentle gleamed as I lay there yawning 

                                                                          

REPEAT CHORUS

When I woke up that wondrous day I knew I'd found a better way

And heard a voice within me say old sin was just for scorning

 

The good Lord led me to the right road - The good Lord led me to the right road

The good Lord led me to the right road - that's where I love to be

                                                                        (alt. that's where I'll always be)            

 

So all you sinners - rise and repent...hear the Word the Lord has sent

And live the life the Lord has lent - be born anew each morning

 

The good Lord led me to the right road - the good Lord led me to the right road

The good Lord led me to the right road - that's where I love to be.
