"Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy.... In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death" (Proverbs 12:20,28). "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Matthew 7:13,14).
Counselors abound today
Who share conflicting points of view:
How then can we know the way
To sort out what is false and true?
Praise the Lord! We have His Word
To guide us on the narrow path,
To prove all things that we have heard,
And give us peace instead of wrath.
The gate is wide, the way is broad,
Now leading souls to their destruction,
Turning hearts away from God,
Deceiving many through seduction.
No wonder, then, we see the gate
That leads us to eternal life
Is narrow as the path is strait,
Opposing counselors of strife!
Thank You, Lord, for making known
The way of life through Christ our Lord.
Our peace is found from Him alone,
Who is our Ransom and Reward.
