Enter through the Narrow Door

A narrow door or a stony path,

 To a traveler, is not all inviting;

Walking on a thorn- filled way,

To any one’s feet, is not exciting.

But to a narrow door truly sure,

Points the dear risen Savior Lord,

“Enter through the narrow door,

For behind it awaits your reward.”

He walked the lonely path of pain,

And suffered the crown of thorns.

He burned himself as sacrifice and

With his blood broke Satan’s horns.

Then only he won the precious keys

To open the locked door of heaven,

For the millions who walked after him;

To receive the reward God has given.

Walk through the narrow path, son,

Don’t fear the pain of education.

Make a habit of patient endurance,

For that’s the secret to redemption.

If you want to succeed toil and toil,

Climb and climb to reach the peak.

Walk through the path of honesty,

For therein lies the prize you seek.
