I Found the Way
Lunging forward speeding on
Faster, faster down the road
Where’s it leading? Now I know
The crowd is thick. They hemmed me in
No place to stop, no room so see
What lies ahead is history
Blinded by the shadowed crowd
On we raced and thought out loud
This can’t be right, I thought and went
Have all who walk been pushed or sent?
I asked, “Hey Joe, where’s all this lead?
“I don’t know and I don’t care
It’s life you see.” There’s time to spare
Can someone tell me? Who can tell?
Someone said the road to hell
“I don’t think so”, was his song
Do you think this crowd is wrong?
“Some men here are smart you know
Let’s follow them. That’s why we go”
Then out there someone called my name
Me, why me? And what’s your game?
What are you doing over there?
Think about it. There are two roads
One is wide and the crowd is packed
The other is narrow, single file
It’s been waiting hidden all the while
Jesus is the way we know
It’s leading upward. See the glow
Don’t you know He died for you?
And rose again so we could live
Now the fear of death has passed
I found the path of life at last
Heaven waits for me up there
Now I can live without a care
