"I have journeyed many miles
Hitchin rides and sometimes walkin
I'd give anything some nights to be back home
But the rumor of a sage and a story teller has me longin
To hear the news I heard once long ago

I have traveled many roads
Made my bed out in the darkness
I have prayed in faith for God to be my sight
And I know that they that seek with all their heart will be rewarded
And day will break upon their darkest night

Oh, I'm goin where the good news of Jesus
Meets the lonely cry of a man
I remember the sweetest sound falling on my ears
And I want to hear that good news once again

I see women with their children
We have gathered young and old
To listen as this storyteller starts to speak
And as rain falls to the earth from the clouds that could not hold it
So His spring of living water flows to me

Jagged mountains are no equal to the story of your love
And the strength of raging oceans can't compare
Here is beauty that is greater, here is grace that heals creation
Let the good news of your life be mine to share

Oh, I'm goin where the good news of Jesus
Meets the lonely cry of a man
I remember the sweetest sound falling on my ears
And I want to hear that good news once again

Many years have come and gone since I heard those blessed words
That pierced the darkness deep inside my soul
And yet even now those words still steer and guide my heart to mercy
They shine a light and lead me where to go
Oh, they shine a light that leads me to my home

Oh, I'm goin where the good news of Jesus
Meets the lonely cry of a man
I remember the sweetest sound falling on my ears
And I want to hear that good news once again

Oh, I'm goin where the good news of Jesus
Meets the lonely cry of a man
I remember the sweetest sound falling on my ears
And I want to hear that good news once again"
