Where Jesus Waits
by louis gander The path of least resistance is popular and wide. It's trampled by the simple until they all have died. The wind tears homes to pieces and kills without remorse. The path of least resistance will have its way, of course. But running wise with purpose, I'm braced against the wind. I fight the lies that bellow on the path where all have sinned. And water flows so freely while cutting out with force - the path of least resistance, while winding its own course. I swim against the current and seek the truth upstream, ignoring cries from foolish and sin's deceptions dream. Yes, steadfast I have journeyed - escaped both wind and flood - I hold my sights on footsteps that follow drops of blood. So follow in the footsteps, on straight and narrow path - escape deceptions of this world where death is sure - and wrath. Yes, paths of least resistance are popular and wide. They carry off the simple until they all have died. The wide and easy path is trod where foolish still discuss - but walk the straight and narrow one where Jesus waits for us.
