"Fear thy God... Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart... but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD" (Leviticus 19:14-18). "Create in me a clean heart, O God" (Psalm 51:10). "By the fear of the LORD men depart from evil... The highway of the upright is to depart from evil" (Proverbs 16:6,17). "Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross" (Hebrews 12:1,2).
There is a
highway that is clear
That heaven
marks with Christ-like love,
That purges hate
through godly fear,
And sets our
heart on things above.
This is the path
that cleanses hearts,
As God directs
our steps aright.
This is the
highway that departs
From evil,
walking in His sight.
We run with
patience on this path
Till we see
Jesus face to face
Who died to save
our souls from wrath
And lives to
lead us by His grace.
O Lord, we look
to You alone
On heaven's
highway as You lead
To bring us
safely to Your throne
With grace to
help in time of need.
