Over the past few weeks as friends and those who are part of our Bible study at home have struggled with their health, under gone surgery or a variety other things, this song has been such an encouragement to each one; what a blessing the song has been!
I personally had never heard it before until a young lady in our group introduced it to us just recently. It is in the hymn book “Zambia Sings” and yet I just overlooked it like all the others I don’t know. However, after she introduced it to us, it was not long before most of us in the group knew it as it’s words are so true and so powerful.
Here they the words for the song “It’s Not an Easy road” (here is is in Lunda):
Verse 1:
It’s not an easy road we are travelling to heaven
for many are the thorns on the way;
It’s not an easy road, but the Saviour is with us.
His presence gives us joy every day.Chorus:
No, no, it’s not an easy road.
No, no, it’s not an easy road.
But Jesus walks beside me
And brightens the journey
And lightens every heavy load.Verse 2:
It’s not an easy road. There are trials and troubles.
And many are the dangers we meet.
But Jesus guards and keeps so that nothing can harm us
and smooths the rugged path for our feet.Verse 3:
Though I am often footsore and weary from travel,
Though I am often bowed down with care,
A better day is coming when home in the glory.
We’ll rest in perfect peace over there.
