Straight and Narrow

~~*~~
Sorry it went down the way it did. We were like two opponents fighting in a ring. If I could take back everything I said, I would have listened instead. Standing here I face my cross road What direction will I go? Some say there is no reason to change others say it's the only way. With the decision on my shoulders now. I’m not so sure I have the strength it takes. To live life on the straight and narrow. After all these years will be tough, But I have to start somewhere, in order to get off.

Oh do, *do* choose the straight and narrow. How narrow it is, but oh how sweet to get to the end and Jesus' arms! :)
