Poetry
There is a way which seems to be right.
The road is paved, wide, very pleasing to our flesh in sight.
This broad way is very appealing, its the road we all enter at the start of life.
Therefore, most, being confronted with the strait narrow way, ask, go in that way, why?
There are lots of people, and enjoyments on the pleasant looking road.
The narrow path has few travellers, hunkered down as though carrying heavy loads.
You can hear laughter, sounds of mirth, enjoying the pleasures of sin.
On the narrow way, groanings, self denial, loathing the corruption within.
For most, the choice is easy. No need to go in that strait, narrow path.
But those with an effectual call, go in that way, being spared coming wrath.
Those on the strait path find help from above, a light in the way does lead.
The Master himself, giving rest, and peace. Supplying every need.
A book is provided, full of instruction. Verses to comfort the heart.
A full set of armor is also available, to quench all fiery darts.
Make the right choice, for the Lord is good, his mercy endureth forever.
He waters his garden every moment, and will forsake you never.
Make your calling and election sure, it will not profit you to wear a mask.
Ask yourself, have I truly found the strait gate, and started this joyful, yet arduous task.
Do you strive to die daily, really seeking to honor God with your life.
Or are you still bogged down by life's petty problems, dominated by envy, and strife.
It is only through this strait gate, that true happiness lies.
A companion of fools, shall be destroyed. Make it your business to follow the wise.
If you've been made willing, by the Masters mighty power, to enter this narrow way.
Then you should thank the Lord for this miracle, every time you pray.
