I was eight years old when I decided to follow Jesus
I started down that road,
Somebody told me that this path that leads to heaven
Will not be the easy way
Well I found that to be true,
But I also found, I found out there's

No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be!
No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be!

Well, I know this road has a final destination
But I also know that if we're only looking for the prize that's waiting
We'll miss so much along the way
'Cause Jesus came to give us life in the here and now and to show us that there's

No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be!
No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be!

I know this path we travel on
Is very straight and narrow
But I've looked down other roads along the way
And from all I've seen I can say without a doubt there's

No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven
No other place I'd rather be!
No better place on earth than the road that leads to heaven
No better place to be!
