Walking the Roman Road

Verse 1 He was a good-time Friday night regular Barstool philosopher king Laughin’ loud with a heart full of emptiness Drownin’ every broken thing Said, “I’m fine, don’t need nobody tellin’ me How to live or what I owe” But one old friend slid over a Bible And said, “Buddy, walk with me down the road…” “For all have sinned…” he read out loud “And fall short of the glory of God…” The room got still, the truth cut deep Like conviction straight from God Chorus So we walked the Roman Road that night From guilt to grace, from wrong to right From “The wages of sin is death” To “There’s life in Jesus Christ” From a cross on a lonely hill To an empty borrowed tomb He called on the name of the Lord And mercy filled the room Oh, sinner come, don’t wait too long His blood has paid your cost There’s freedom for every weary soul When we go… Walking the Roman Road Verse 2 She was tired of the same old heartbreak Different face, but the same old lie Lookin’ for love in the wrong kind of arms With running mascara in her eyes Sunday morning a coworker whispered “Girl, you don’t have to live this way…” And she opened up to Romans chapter ten When she finally heard Him say— “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth And believe in thine heart…” That God hath raised Him from the dead He’ll forgive you and you’ll have a brand-new start Chorus So she walked the Roman Road that day From shame and chains to washed away From “While we were yet sinners” To “He’s the Truth, the Life, the Way” From a cross on a lonely hill To an empty borrowed tomb She called on the name of the Lord And mercy filled the room Oh, broken heart, don’t wait too long His blood has paid your cost There’s freedom for every weary soul When we go… Walking the Roman Road Bridge How shall they hear without a preacher? How shall they know if we don’t go? There’s a world that’s lost and dying Standing at the end of the road You don’t need a pulpit or a spotlight Just a willing heart that shows How God can turn a life around Walking down that Roman Road Chorus Let’s walk the Roman Road tonight From darkness into marvelous light “For whosoever shall call” He’ll save you by His might From a cross on a lonely hill To an empty borrowed tomb Call on the name of the Lord Let mercy fill this room Oh, church arise, don’t wait too long Go carry Heaven’s load There’s salvation for every soul When we go… Walking the Roman Road For whosoever… that means you… Just call on His name today There’s life at the end of that narrow road And Jesus is the Way
