Heartbreak Ridge And New Hope Road The Gaither Vocal Band

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
