The Narrow Path
May we follow carefully
The narrow and blessed Way
Entering the small gate of Life
As our dear LORD did say
For broad is the path
And wide the gate that leads
To destruction eternal
And why our LORD now pleads
How easy to think the broad
Leads to Heaven’s door
As so many souls tread upon it
And each day all the more
Yet Jesus warned that only few
Will find the narrow Way
So may we heed our every step
As we worship, read and pray
Our earthly journey so transient
In the vast light of eternity
How important that we discern
The path where we may be
Seek God earnestly in prayer
In worship and in fasting too
These bring us ever closer
To the Creator of me and you
And ponder the Cross and pain
That Christ accepted and foreknew
For therein is the answer of Life
Yes, in His death, is Life true
The sting of death itself died
When Christ arose triumphantly
His Way leads to Life eternal
Let it be the only one we see
So as a new day unfolds
And the sun does brilliantly rise
Set out upon the narrow Way
Leading to the Crown and Prize
Yes, may we follow ever carefully
The narrow and blessed Way
Entering the small gate of Life
As our dear LORD did say..
