Heartbreak Ridge And New Hope Road (Russ Taff, Bill Gaither, Guy Penrod, David Phelps)

<p>It was a wide spot out in the country<br/>Away from the lights of the city<br/>Where an old time preacher pitched a ragged old tent<br/>Looked like it was a hundred years old<br/><br/>He started out preaching to no one<br/>But pretty soon a crowd started gathering<br/>And he preached the gospel<br/>At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road<br/><br/>I turned into a wild man<br/>Some people said I&#x27;d gone crazy<br/>But all too soon came the harvest<br/>Of the wild seeds that I had sown<br/><br/>Well, I stumbled into that meeting<br/>I was looking like death warmed over<br/>But then I heard the gospel<br/>At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope road<br/>When they sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless<br/>Lord I was hopeless heaven knows<br/>Something got a hold of me, something got a hold hallelujah<br/>When I heard the gospel<br/>At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road<br/><br/>It&#x27;s still a wide spot out in the country<br/>Away from the lights of the city<br/>I pitched that old tent he gave me<br/>The day that he died and went home<br/><br/>Some times I start preaching to no one<br/>But pretty soon a crowd starts gathering<br/>And I now preach the gospel<br/>At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road<br/><br/>And we sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless<br/>Lord I was hopeless heaven knows<br/>Something got a hold of me, something got a hold hallelujah<br/>When I heard the gospel<br/>At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road<br/><br/>Glory hallelujah, I&#x27;m saying glory, glory hallelujah<br/>Hey, hey, glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory, glory<br/><br/>And they sing come ye sinners, lost and hopeless<br/>Lord, I was hopeless heaven knows<br/>Something got a hold of me, something got a hold hallelujah<br/>When I heard the gospel<br/>At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road<br/>When I heard the gospel<br/>At the corner of Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road<br/>Glory, glory hallelujah, glory, glory hallelujah
