1. Two Roads

Two roads, one broad and wide, in it everything goes

The other straight and narrow and some things have to go

Subtly, they head in different directions

Each leads to an alternate destination

The choice is mine to decide which one I walk on

Everyone is free to choose and make a road the one.


Broad and wide, easy and smooth

Straight and narrow, hard on foot

Broad and wide but leads to gloom

Straight, narrow yet lets you bloom

Broad and wide shouts 'come and stay'!

Straight and narrow pleads 'come my way'.


Though hard on foot it may seem to be

Grace enough God above will give

If heaven is the eternal destination of your choice

Then walk my straight and narrow way and you will rejoice

As you do heaven bound you will be

No other way will take you there but me.


I thank God.
