The Narrow Path 

 

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-Card!)

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
