The Narrow Way
I don’t consider myself to be very skilled at writing poetry, but I was inspired to write this today. I hope it will be a blessing and encouragement to you in your spiritual journey.
The Narrow Way

A pathway leads toward Heaven,
Ever upward, ever on,
Through wilderness and stony soil,
To reach the Great Beyond.
On one side stands a Mountain,
Cold, heartless, and austere,
Uncompromising majesty,
God’s Law, forever pure.
The other shows a River,
Flowing free and full of grace:
Living peace, with healing power
For all of sin’s disgrace.
The shadow of that Mountain looms
Above the guilty brood,
And stones crash down from craggy heights,
While Judgment calls for blood.
But Now! A Voice heard in the gloom
Brings hope the traveler’s way,
“My grace, Dear Soul, is all you need,
For strength to win the day!
Be faithful ‘til the morning dawns
On God’s eternal shore,
And in that bright Tomorrow there
You’ll live forevermore!”
