In the highways, in the hedges
In the highways, in the hedges
In the highways, in the hedges
I'll be somewhere workin' for my Lord

If He calls me, I will answer
If He calls me, I will answer
If He calls me, I will answer
I'll be somewhere workin' for my Lord

I'll be somewhere workin'
I'll be somewhere workin'
I'll be somewhere workin' for my Lord

I'll be somewhere workin'
I'll be somewhere workin' for my Lord

In the highways, in the hedges
In the highways, in the hedges
In the highways, in the hedges

This is the earliest video of these priceless sisters singing together they still sing along with their daddy. They are now in their 20's and play instruments, and making great harmony TOGETHER
There were three other siblings, as well.
