Verse 
Each step I took led me astray
Further from God's perfect way
Sin had marked my every mile
Death stood waiting all the while

Chorus
There is a road that leads to life
Where mercy conquered sin and strife
My Savior died for all my sins
Now He holds my life down the road of time

Verse
Grace was sealed at the cross
Love stretched beyond every loss
I called His name He welcomed me
His risen life has set me free

Chorus
There is a road that leads to life
Where mercy conquered sin and strife
My Savior died for all my sins
Now He holds my life down the road of time

Bridge
Every journey abounding with grace
Every step I take brings me to a place
Where everlasting life guides my way
I walk with Christ forevermore

Chorus
There is a road that leads to life
Where mercy conquered sin and strife
My Savior died for all my sins
Now He holds my life down the road of time

Ending
There is a road that leads to life
Where mercy conquered sin and strife
My Savior died for all my sins
Now He holds my life
Now He holds my life
Now He holds my life down the road of time
