Life is Like a Mountain Railroad - Steven Curtis Chapman, Herb Chapman, Sr, Herb Chapman, Jr

Life is like a mountain railway

With an engineer that’s brave

We must make this run successful

From the cradle to the grave

Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels

Never falter, never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eyes upon the rail

Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In Thy praise forevermore

You will roll up grades of trial

You will cross the bridge of strife

See that Christ is your Conductor

On this lightning train of life

Always mindful of obstruction

Do your duty, never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eyes upon the rail

Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us

Til we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In Thy praise forevermore

As you roll across the trestle

Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide

You behold the Union Depot

Into which your train will glide

There you’ll meet the Superintendent

God the Father, God the Son

With the hearty, joyous, plaudit

Weary pilgrim, welcome home!

Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us

Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In Thy praise forevermore

Where the angels wait to join us

In Thy praise forevermore
