Heartbreak Ridge And New Hope Road lyrics

It was a wide spot out in the country

Away from the lights of the city

Where an old time preacher pitched a ragged old tent

Looked like it was a hundred years old

He started out preaching to no one

But pretty soon a crowd started gathering

And he preached the gospel

At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

I turned into a wild man

Some people said I’d gone crazy

But all too soon came the harvest

Of the wild seeds that I had sown

Well I stumbled into that meeting

I was looking like death warmed over

But then I heard the gospel

At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope road

When they sing come ye sinners lost and hopeless

Lord I was hopeless heaven knows

Something got a hold of me something got a hold hallelujah

When I heard the gospel

At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

It’s still a wide spot out in the country

Away from the lights of the city

I pitched that old tent he gave me

The day that he died and went home

Some times I start preaching to no one

But pretty soon a crowd starts gathering

And I now preach the gospel

At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

And we sing come ye sinners lost and hopeless

Lord I was hopeless heaven knows

Something got a hold of me something got a hold hallelujah

When I heard the gospel

At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

Glory hallelujah I’m saying glory glory hallelujah

Hey hey glory glory hallelujah glory glory glory

And they sing come ye sinners lost and hopeless

Lord I was hopeless heaven knows

Something got a hold of me something got a hold hallelujah

When I heard the gospel

At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

When I heard the gospel

At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road

Glory glory hallelujah

Glory glory hallelujah
