As I walk along the narrow path of righteousness
I see my goal in the distance
I hear my Lord calling me
His voice guiding my feet
Behind me are my Yesterday's Sins
Trying to lay to my thoughts, my self-examinations
Trying to draw me nearer to them
Wanting me to allow them to be a constituent of my journey
Knowing that as I move closer to my goal they will no longer be an element of me
The road is so restricted it seems to be closing in on me
However, it is only Yesterday's Sins way of getting me to turn back
Trying to get me to doubt the Christ in me
Telling me that it is God's Grace and Mercy that I lack
I return my focus to my goal
I listen to the messages and take hold
To the purpose and it's meaning, and wait for His mysteries to unfold
I no longer rely on my feelings, my head, and my past to make my decisions
I depend on the Holy Spirit and His Word do I listen
I lean not upon my own understanding
I rely on Christ and seek Him in everything
I turn my head to the right
Not wanting to lose sight
Of my purpose for walking on this chosen road
Using the Hope of Glory to reach my goal
As I walk forth on the narrow path of righteousness
I hear my Lord calling me in the distance
His voice, Calling out to me , telling me to come seek Him
I look to my right and catch a glimpse of my Today's Temptation
Dangling in front of me transgression and seduction
Presenting a fork in the road
I'm left wondering if I had chosen the right goal
I can't go back, for I am no longer the person that I use to be
If I give into temptation, I will lose a component of the new me
I close my eyes, stand still and pray
I cry out to God in my spirit then I boldly say,
"FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ME A SPIRIT OF FEAR,
BUT OF POWER, LOVE AND SELF-DISCIPLINE!"
These words resonnate in my spirit and give me New Life and New Hope
Moreover, they empowered me from within
As i draw nearer to Him
There are mountains and hills of trials and tribulations
Subjecting me to all types of agony, pain, and frustration
They're hurdles and pitfalls getting in my way
Causing me to lose my stride and creating delays
I reach into my bag and take out my provisions
I kneel, I pray and laugh away my reservations
I use my tools: my Bible, God's Promises, The Scripture that I know
Number's of brothers and sisters in Christ that I know
Jesus' name
My praise and worship tapes,
I use all my resources and begin to climb over and out of,
I jump, I leap, I trudge, and I sludge
I do everything that I know how, and I never give up
As I make it through the terrain
I say, "Thank you Jesus and Thank You Father, God
It was because of you that I was able to maintain
There is power in Jesus' name
I came through it all and my battle is won!
Only by the Grace of God, Comfort of the Holy Spirit, and the name of the Son!
I have come to the end of my journey
At least I thought I had, there is a gate in front of me
I open it and enter in
And I notice
THe road is still narrow, but I am given new tools
I have found all the clues
He has given me some keys
To unlock His mysteries
Now my curiosity has turned into eagerness
He no longer has to call, as much, for I am willing to go and seek Him
My journey is far from over it has only just begun
I walk my road in faith with the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son.
I see my goal in the distance
I hear my Lord calling me
His voice guiding my feet
Behind me are my Yesterday's Sins
