IT’S NOT AN EASY ROAD By J. W. Peterson

November 1, 1921 – September 20, 2006

Verse 1

It’s not an easy road
We are trav’ling to heaven,
For many are the thorns on the way;
It’s not an easy road,
But the Savior is with us,
His presence gives us joy ev’ry day.

Chorus

No, no, it’s not an easy road,
No, no, it’s not an easy road;
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey,
And lightens ev’ry heavy load.

Verse 2

It’s not an easy road
There are trials and troubles
And many are the dangers we meet;
But Jesus guards and keeps
So that nothing can harm us,
And smooths the rugged path for our feet.

Chorus

easy roadVerse 3
Tho’ I am often footsore
And weary from travel,
Tho’ I am often bowed down with care,
Well a better day is coming
When home in the glory
We’ll rest in perfect peace over there.

Chorus
