13 Enter ye in at the
strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the
way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matt
7:13-14)
When
you have lost your way on a lonesome road
When
the course you do not know,
And
your thoughts extend, to the journey's end
But
your progress it seems slow:
If
you're off the track, you can't turn back
To
see what the signpost showed,
But
the time to decide, that you need a Guide
Is
just at the fork of the Road.
When
you fail to heed the warning signs
On
the broad highway of life
And
enter in, through the streets of sin
To
sorrow, pain and strife;
How
sad to learn, though you may return
You
must reap what you have sowed,
But
all your tears, of your wasted years
Could
be saved at the fork of the road.
As
long as the road lies straight ahead
The
journey of life is bright,
It's
the setting sun, when the day is done
That
leads to the gloom of night.
You
won't go wrong, as you trod along
If
you study the way to go
It
is well worthwhile, to save a mile
When
you decide at the fork of the road.
