Jerry Lee Lewis - Railroad To Heaven Lyrics






Life is like a mountain railway,
With an engineer that's brave;
We must make the run successful,
From the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels;
Never falter, never quail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail.

[Chorus:]
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
Till we reach that blissful shore,
When the Angels wait to join us
In Thy praise for evermore.

You will roll up grades of trial;
You will cross the bridge of strife;
See that Christ is your conductor
On this lightning train of life;
Always mindful of obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail.

[Chorus]

You will often find obstructions,
Look for storms and wind and rain;
On a fill, or curve, or trestle
They will almost ditch your train;
Put your trust alone in Jesus,
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes upon the rail.

[Chorus]

As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide,
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide;
There you'll meet the Superintendent,
God, the Father, God the Son,
With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
"Weary Pilgrim, welcome home."

[Chorus]

    Blessed Saviour there to guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    with the angels waiting there to join us
    In God's grace forevermore

    Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
    You will reach the Union Depot

    Looking at Jerry here in 1983, makes one wonder how he made it through '85, 86, and so on until now, 2019 when I am sat here typing, a legend, and, as they say, a LIVING legend.

  47. J.... J....

    Jerry Lee still "had it" in 1983. I admire his booogie piano chops:)

  48. N.... C....

    This song is awesome. I think Coby J. Fuson sings it too.

  49. S.... E....

    Life's Railway To Heaven!!!

  50. J.... B....

    WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
    Had the pleasure to see Jerry Lee live in Melbourne,Australia in the early 60;s & he was pure dynamite.
    Jerry simulated shagging the upright microphone & the teeny-boppers loved this & screamed for more.
    Never will forget that concert.

  51. M.... S....

    Country and Gospel were what he was raised on, and were his true calling. The early rock hits paved his way but were superficial ditties compared to immortal masterpieces like the song presented here.
    An artist to be admired for all time.
    (Boxcar Willie also nailed this one!😀) After he finished you can hear some numbskull
    in the audience
    holler out "rock and roll," which was evidently what HE came to hear!😩😖👎

  52. i.... c....

    SIMPLEY THE KILLLLLLLLLLLERRRRRR

  53. H.... Q....

    Most talent ever period

    H.... Q....

    Pretty much!👍👏 Google him on "ECHOS!"

  54. B.... D....

    Wah! What a performance

  55. M.... V....

    Street smart and exceedingly talented .

  56. M.... C....

    What a wonderful song ! ...

  57. O.... G....

    Jerry Lee is a great professional..one of a kind..

  58. J.... G....

    A TRUE OUTLAW.

  59. J.... N....

    Greatness! Nothing else to say😎

  60. J.... B....

    Whoa foreshadowing? David carradine

  61. R.... O....

    Amen there is only one engineer on life's train 😎

  62. G.... J....

    JLL is the man!

  63. M.... N....

    All time favorite Jerry lee Lewis

  64. L.... L....

    Gosh I love this song and this fantastic JLL forever...

  65. J.... H....

    Still a great rendition of a great song. Neither ever goes out of date!

  66. G.... G....

    Jerry Lee Lewis will always have hit songs out there

  67. B.... L....

    The Master

  68. C.... S....

    What a legacy!

  69. A.... A....

    Theologically, I believe Jerry knows what that hymn means. Look up the words sometime ...they're tough to discern here. At the end he asks, "Am I guilty?" -- and replies, "No! Then you ask, 'are you innocent?' I don't know." This is an awesome little exchange! He just finished saying he gets nervous when he sings this. You know he's talking about his status before God. He knows that despite his sins he has trusted Christ to save him and that he is, in fact, IN CHRIST. That makes him "not guilty" -- even though he is far from innocent. This the great theological concept that makes the gospel the Gospel! (gospel means "good news")

    A.... A....

    BUT AL- Billions don't believe because belief only is too easy!!! Well it was not easy for the Son of God/the son of man. I LOVE THINGS EASY PTL!! You a good man Al, I encourage you - Just heard the ernd- Oh Jerry say IN CHRIST I AM!!!

    A.... A....

    @Duff Gordon Maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part because I always liked JLL -- on the other hand, I have heard that he does know the Gospel -- and why would he bother to sing lyrics like: --"Precious Savior there to guide us til we reach that distant shore ..." if he were not a genuine believer?

    A.... A....

    @Al Anton Oh he's a believer but he thinks his sins may be unforgivable. He was given too much guilt about his music at an early age and never overcame his self doubt about his life's path.

    A.... A....

    @S.R. R. I don't think I can agree with you. He KNOWS the Gospel. (Most southern, baptist guys do!) "Unforgivable" sounds more like what a good Catholic would think. The fact is No ONE is unforgivable -- not even Hitler ...although since having died unrepentant and in his sins, Hitler is NOW (and has been since his death) unforgivable.

  70. M.... P....

    Beautiful song! I had no idea that Jerry Lee Lewis could sing country so well.

    M.... P....

    He began as a country singer, just like Elvis. JLL really specialized in it.
    It was his true calling.

  71. J.... R....

    Sehr gut Jolan

  72. a.... w....

    And so it goes

  73. n.... ....

    Джерри, нет тебе равных...

  74. S.... W....

    00:00 - JLL: "You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers at night baby." 00:05 - Fan: "Why not?" love it. This man plays the soundtrack of my life.

  75. d.... ....

    Loving some JERRY Lee 💙❤️💙 e always

  76. L.... L....

    I'm back, just can not get enough of this beautiful song and that amazing voice of Jerry Lee's. love it it so much 7-11-19. prayers for Jerry Lee's full / speedy recovery from his stroke. God Bless you Jerry Lee

  77. M.... G....

    The greatest ....................Jerry Lee Lewis.................now 83 years

  78. M.... G....

    Life is like a mountain railroad
    With an engineer so brave
    We must make this run successful
    From the cradle to the grave
    Watch the curves, the fills the tunnels
    Never falter, never fail
    Keep your hand upon the throttle
    And your eye upon the rail

    Oh, blessed Savior, thou wilt guide us
    Til we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In God's grace forever more

    As you roll across the trestle
    Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
    You behold the union depot
    Into which your train will glide
    There you'll meet the superintendent
    God the Father, God the Son
    With a hearty, joyous greeting
    Weary pilgrim, welcome home
