There's just one way to make that trip to glory
God so loved the world that He gave His son
So hold your head up high, point your finger to the sky
There's just one way to make that final run
Peace on earth is something we're all after
Something mortal man won't ever find
But there's good news in the Good Book for God's children
There's just one way to have that peace of mind
Yeah, there's one way to make that trip to glory
God so loved the world that He gave His son
So hold your head up high, point your finger to the sky
There's just one way to make that final run
There's an answer to the question for all sinners
And it's written in the verse John 3:16
There's good news in the Good Book for God's children
He can wash away your sins and make you clean
There's just one way to make that trip to glory
God so loved the world that He gave His son
So hold your head up high, point your finger to the sky
There's just one way to make that final run
One more time!
There's just one way to make that trip to glory
God so loved the world that He gave His son
So hold your head up high, point your finger to the sky
There's just one way to make that final run
