I have been so many miles
chorus
this body's growing old

and I have a weary soul
I want to rest a little while
my hair has now turned white

these old eyes no longer brite
I have been so many miles






I've climbed mountains high
and gone down the other side
I want to rest a little while

Iam just so wore out
to me there is no doubt
I have been so many miles






The children are now grown
and have families of their own

I want to rest a little while
I've worked hard all my life
always tried to do whats right

I have been so many miles

So much heartache I've seen

in the miles in between
I want to rest a little while
this life is not the same

since I live in so much pain
I have been so many miles






I am closer to the grave
every min of the day
I want to rest a little while

I will soon sleep in peace
till my Jesus calls me
