Dawning or Darkness

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.... Ponder the path of thy feet" (Proverbs 4:18-26). "Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life" (John 6:67,68).

Ponder now the path you take:
The darkness leads the lost astray.
Will you live for Jesus' sake,
Or will you also go away?

The righteous path, just like the dawn,
Grows brighter till the perfect day.
Will this be the path you're on,
Or will you also go away?

We follow Christ into the light,
When we have heard Him and obey.
Will you choose to do what's right,
Or will you also go away?

O Lord, like Peter with one voice,
Who said that with You he would stay,
Our hearts agree! We've made our choice:
By grace we will not go away!
