THE COBBLESTONE ROAD

I was a road of cobblestone that led folks through the town,
The people bought and sold on me from everywhere around.
I saw the feet of priests and kings, of children and the aged,
All traveling to get somewhere, in their own thoughts engaged.
I wasn’t just the only way to get from here to there,
For I knew of some other roads more fancy everywhere.
They led the traveler many ways, to many other towns,
But I was one quite different from the other roads around.
I was the only road that led from town to a small plain,
To a small hill outside of town where criminals were slain.
So one day when another crowd of angry people came
With soldiers and some beaten men, I thought it just the same
But as I listened carefully to people as they cried,
“Away with one who says He’s Christ, let Him be crucified!”
I wished somehow right then and there that I could change my way,
Not lead this God-sent man to death on Calvary’s hill that day.
I felt the blood from this one man fall gently on to me,
I felt the cross He drug along as people came to see.
I think each stone upon my road wished for a hiding place,
Not wanting to be so involved in this cruel, sad disgrace.
And yet He traveled me that day, for as He went my way
He knew I was the only road to save mankind that day.
I was a road of cobblestone, and I am that road still;
Just as I was the only way to Calvary’s rugged hill,
The Man who traveled me that day to shed His blood and die
Has said, “I am the way for you--no other way but I.”
Yes, there may be some other road more fancy or more broad,
But there is just one blood-stained road that leads a soul to God.
It can’t be changed by anyone, though they may try and strive;
We all must come to God through Christ, through Him be made alive.
And so I ask you, friend, today, have you to Jesus come?
Don’t try to come another way--He is the only one.
