The song is "I don't regret a mile" Not sure who origianally recorded it. I first heard it as a child being sung by the Daughterly Quartet. Their version of the song had a reciation. I've heard others sing it but I like the Daughterly Quartets version best. I wish I could tell you the words to the reciation.
Here are the lyrics as I've heard them sang by other groups.
Hope this helps. Keith.

I DON'T REGRET A MILE,

I DON'T REGRET A MILE, I'VE TRAVELED FOR THE LORD.
I DON'T REGRET THE TIMES, I'VE TRUSTED IN HIS WORD.
I'VE SEEN THE YEARS GO BY, MANY DAYS WITHOUT A SONG.
BUT I DON'T REGRET A MILE, I'VE TRAVELED FOR THE LORD.

I'VE FOUGHT A FAITHFULL FIGHT, AND I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH
SURELY, UP IN HEAVEN, A HOME FOR ME AWAITS.
A PROMISE OF A MANSION, ON STREETS OF PURE GOLD.
KEEPS ME PRESSING ONWARD, NOT MANY MILES TO GO.

MANY MILES BEHIND ME, NOT MANY MILES TO GO.
I WALK THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW, LONG HAS BEEN THE ROAD.
THO SLOWER STEPS I NOW TAKE, I'LL SOON REACH MY GOAL.
MANY MILES BEHIND ME, NOT MANY MILES TO GO.

I think there are 2 different songs combined here in the last posting of the words to the song. Howard Goodman wrote a song I Don't Regret A Mile, but he only sang the beginning verse and then there was he recited the rest. I know there was also a song titled Many Miles Behind Me, I have written my sister to have her send me the words and who sang it on a album she has.
