New Highway

I read a book about a man
 Who never went to school
 He could tell you more things about life
 Than any man ever knew
 He didn't study to be a carpenter
 But things he could build
 Would stand the storms life could bring
 No matter how small or big
 Chorus:
 And he built a new highway to heaven
 And few there'll be me that travel thereon
 He put me on a new highway to heaven
 There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
 He didn't study to be a scientist
 Or have a doctor's degree
 He knew more than any surgeon
 Of this world could ever teach
 He can remove a stony heart
 Put a new one in its place
 Jesus does this from inside out
 Leaves no scars, no other trace
 Repeat chorus
 He put me on a new highway to heaven
 And few there'll be me that travel thereon
 He put me on a new highway to heaven
 There's no detour sign, you don't have to travel alone
 He put me on a new highway to heaven
