"Highway to Heaven" by. Min. E. Dwight Franklin

Musicians from the New Orleans area joined with Musicians from all around the country to honor Minister E. Dwight Franklin in August 2010 with a SURPRISE concert of his music. Min. Franklin has composed some of Gospel's greatest scores and has delivered moving arrangements of others. He has worked in the U.S. and abroad sharing his gifts and talents with others.

This is one of Min. Franklin's most beloved compositions.
Min. Franklin directed this final number at the end of the concert.

Lyrics:
It's a highway up to Heaven. none can walk up there, but the pure in heart. I am walking up the King's highway.

If you're not walking start while I'm singing.
(Walking up the King's highway)
Angels beside me, God's love to guide me.
(Walking up the King's highway)

Tenors: I've got on my traveling shoes.
Altos: In spite of what the world may do.
Sopranos: Everyday I'm walking with Jesus
Choir: I am going thru
