Paved with Gold

All through my life I've seen

different things happen to you and me.

Even though I don't know how,

you showed me the truth that I know now...



This world is a place of dying,

and I'm tired of all the lying.

Sometimes I don't know what to do,

but I know that I believe in you...



Lead me through this place of old,

and show me to the streets of gold.

In heaven I know is where they are.

I'll never find them in a bar.

So for you, I'll be so bold,

so I can walk with you on the streets of gold.



This little boy born the other day

might not make it is what the doctors say.

So promise me Lord one thing right now

that you'll be with him the whole way out...



Lead him through this place of old,

and show him to the streets of gold.

In heaven I know he'll smile so bright

because with you, he's in the light.

He's a child, so I know

he'll walk with you on the streets of gold...



Lord I know you hear me now,

but I'm so tired, and I don't know how

you will make this work for good in my life.

I guess I'll just wait and see,

but I want you to know what he means to me.

I pray that you let him live.

Maybe one day when I come to meet you

I will have helped him to see you too.



Lead us through this place of old,

and show us to the streets of gold.

In heaven we know is where they will be.

I know with you we'll find them, him and me.

So for you, I'll be so bold,

so we can walk with you on the streets of gold.....
