Gospel Road Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE 1]

[C]Matthew, Mark, and L[Am]uke and John
[F]Told about Jesus on that gospel [G]highway
[C]Matthew, Mark, and L[Am]uke and John
[F]Told about Jesus on that gospel [G]Road

How [C]His pillow was the stone, Where [F]He laid His head
How the h[C]ungry five thousand on the h[G]ill were fed
How the [Am]people came and listened to him everything he said
Wal[F]kin’ down that Gospel [G]Road

[VERSE 2]

[C]The desire of ages now had [Am]finally come
[F]Born to walk upon that Gospel [G]Highway
[C]Born of a Virgin down in B[Am]ethlehem
[F]Born to walk upon that Gospel [G]Road

And [C]life would begin at the to[F]uch of his hand
The pe[C]ople would listen to him through [G]out the land
For neve[Am]r a man spoke like this man,
Wal[F]kin’ down that Gospel [G]Road

[VERSE 3]

[C]John the Baptist said the[Am] kingdom has come
[F]Baptizing’ people in the Jordan [G]river
[C]John the Baptist said the[Am] kingdom has come
[F]And they came to hear him at the [G]Jordan stream

The [C]voice from the wilderness said h[F]ear what I say
A red[C]eemer is comin’ and tod[G]ay is the day
I was se[Am]nd to tell you now to make straight the way
For[F] him to walk upon that gospel[G] road

[VERSE 4]

[C]So two by two and th[Am]ree by three
[F]They walked in His footsteps on that Gospel [G]highway
[C]Two by two and th[Am]ree by three
[F]Walked in His footsteps on the Gospel [G]road

And [C]they would died in shipwrecks and in th[F]e lion's den
they would [C]died on crosses and on sp[G]ears of men
But when [Am]one fell back, two more would start again
Wal[F]king down that Gospel [G]Road

[VERSE 5]

Y[C]es, Paul and Silas in the [Am]midnight jail
[F]For talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel [G]highway
[C]Paul and Silas in the m[Am]idnight jail
[F]For talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel [G]road

And [C]they sang out rejoicing and the j[F]ail split wide
The doors[C] busted open and they walked[G] outside
But they[Am] went back to preaching through the countryside
Wal[F]king on the Gospel R[G]oad

[VERSE 6]

[C]Goin’ to tell the people now in[Am] Nazareth
[F]He’s come to walk upon that Gospel [G]Highway
[C]Goin’ to tell the people now in[Am] Nazareth
[F]He’s come to walk upon that Gospel [G]Road

And [C]into the Synagogue to road[F] did lead
To let [C]them know the thing on which their [G]soul must feed
The t[Am]ime has come to help the poor and those in need
The[F] weight upon that Gospel [G]Road

[VERSE 7]

[C]Hey, won’t you come on with me from [Am]Jerusalem
[F]And walking to Emmaus on that dusty [G]highway?
[C]Hey, won’t you come on with me from [Am]Jerusalem
[F]And walking to Emmaus on that dusty [G]road?

The [C]travelling gets harder and with e[F]ach rebuff
Some tu[C]rn back because they’ve h[G]ad enough
But J[Am]esus told you it was gonna be rough
To [F]walk upon His Gospel R[G]oad
