Two Ways Of Life

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

Matthew 7 v.12-14

********

The golden rule it be

Explained by Christ here, see

That what we would than folk would do

To us, do to them too

 

This is the summary

Encapsulated be

Of the law and the prophets words

And now from Jesus heard

 

Enter in at the strait

Narrow gate, be not late

For wide the gate, and broad the way

Unto destruction's day

 

Many there be whic hgo

In through that gate, now know

Because strait is the gate, narrow

The way to life, it so

 

The way that to life leads

Few that find it, few heed

But one step at a time, each day

Follow Christ, He that Way

    The only steps in 'progressing on life's path' that I take, married to KP, is about 100 steps backward each day. Doh! Can ya help me?! lol.
    Let alone '2 steps forward, 1 step backwards'. At least in that we make 1 step forward overall.

          Great piece my friend!
          It is sad that the road we walk there are very few,
          But we have to rejoice about everyone that's joining me and you,
          Straight and narrow is definitely the way to go,
          We must lead by example, and teach by show!!

          Oops!!! I thought this was a fusion!!!!🤣🤣🤣

            What about the ways of - you knows it - the watches, pies, keys, hats, buckets, etc?! See, it's turned us into gibbering wrecks, this persisting. 😁
