You Choose Your Way

There is a path that leads to death and one that leads to life

One path is clear, easy to walk and oh what a beautiful sight

So much to do, so much to see, there’s so much to explore

Of all the things you’ll experience, it’ll leave you wanting more

Hands grasp at this and then at that, so much you can enjoy

So much to get, so much to gain, anything you can employ

Money, fame, fortune or whatever you could want

You could have it all…the further you walk, the more you hunt

The other path is muddy, limbs and leaves are overgrown

There are valleys to walk but you’ll have peace you’ve never known

This old dirt path leads up and down the mountains you will climb

Not much to gain for yourself, but your reward will come in time

Though not much to see, there’s much to learn, this way is narrow and straight

Which path you travel will determine your eternal fate

The first path described with wealth and gain seems so right to us

But none of it will mean a thing when we return to dust

You’re at the crossroads this very hour, which path will you choose

You can gain it all in your life on earth but ultimately your soul will lose

But if you walk the path less traveled and bank in heaven’s treasure

You’ll ever rejoice for you will have found your souls greatest treasure!

Proverbs 14:12

There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

Matthew 16:26

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Matthew 6:20

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
