So two by two and three by three

They walked in His footsteps on that Gospel highway

Two by two and three by three

Walked in His footsteps on the Gospel road

    C                                      F
And they would died in shipwrecks and in the lion's den
           C                        G
they would died on crosses and on spears of men
         Am                                        
But when one fell back, two more would start again

He's come to walk upon that Gospel Road 

    C                         F
And into the Synagogue to road did lead
       C                                  G
To let them know the thing on which their soul must feed
     Am                                        
The time has come to help the poor and those in need
   F                        G          
The weight upon that Gospel Road



[Verse 6]

 C                             Am
Yes, and Paul and Silas in the midnight jail
F                                      G
For talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel highway
C                      Am   
Paul and Silas in the midnight jail
F                                      G
For talking 'bout Jesus on that Gospel highway

    C                                F
And they sang out rejoicing and the jail split wide
         C                           G
The doors busted open and they walked outside
        Am                                        
But they went back to preaching through the countryside
   F                   G          
Walking on the Gospel Road



[Verse 7]

C                                  Am
Hey, won't you come on with me from Jerusalem
F                                   G
And walking to Emmaus on that dusty highway?
C                                  Am   
Hey, won't you come on with me from Jerusalem
F                                   G
And walking to Emmaus on that dusty road?

    C                                F
The travelling gets harder and with each rebuff
       C                        G
Some turn back because they've had enough
     Am                                        
But Jesus told you it was gonna be rough
   F                     G          
To walk upon His Gospel Road
