Another Days Journey- Spiritual All-Stars
CHORUS: Oh it's another days journey (it's another days journey)
I'm on my way (And I'm on my way)
I'm working for my Jesus (I'm working for my Jesus)
I get my pay (I get my pay)
Another days journey (just another days journey)
I'm on my way (And I'm on my way)
Lord in the end (in the end)
Oh yeah (in the end)
Oh, Lord (in the end I'll get my pay)
VERSE: I stepped down in the water (just another days journey)
The water was cold, (just another days journey)
It chills my body (just another days journey)
But not my soul (just another days journey)
Another days journey (it's another days journey)
I'm on my way (And I'm on my way)
Lord in the end (in the end)
Oh yeah (in the end)
Oh, Lord (in the end I'll get my pay)
CHORUS:
VAMP: Another days journey (just another days journey)
I started out with Jesus (just another days journey)
When I started out(just another days journey)
I told the Lord (just another days journey)
If he frees my soul yes (just another days journey)
I'll go where he wants me to go
I'll do what you want me to do (just another days journey)
Another days journey (just another days journey)
I'm on my way (And I'm on my way)
Lord in the end (in the end)
Oh yeah (in the end)
Oh, Lord (in the end I'll get my pay)
