I Want To Know

There's a path that's straight and narrow
There's a valley wide and deep
There's a home prepared already
In a city of sweet peace
But that straight and narrow way
We have to walk to Jesus Christ
For He'll lead all of God's children
To that bright eternal home

I want to know (that I'm prepared)
Whenever Jesus comes again
I want to know (yes, that my soul)
Is cleansed and free from every sin
Yes, all my prayer (and all my life)
When some sweet day, I know I'll see
In that city built of gold, where there will be eternal peace

In a path of life, He'll guide us
Through the valley wide and deep
Then through John's washing waters
Where my soul will find relief
For our Blessed Savior, on the hill of Calvary, paid the cost
And He cried, "Forgive them, Father"
As they nailed Him to the cross

I want to know (that I am ready)
When my times'll come to go
I want to know (there'll be no pardon)
In that city built of gold
And when I stand (before my Savior)
It will be a great relief
You know that empty turn of joy, and joy and everlasting peace

I want to know (that I am ready)
When my times'll come to go
I want to know (there'll be no pardon)
In that city built of gold
And when I stand (before my Savior)
It will be a great relief
You know that empty turn of joy, and joy, and everlasting peace

You know that empty turn of joy, and joy, and everlasting peace
Everlasting peace
