Ask, and God’ll give to you,Just seek and you will find.
Knock and doors will open up,
Our Father’s good and kind.
For everyone that asks will get,
While seekers find the way,
And those who knock get through the door,
I heard our master say.
Chorus:
I’m walkin’ the straight and narrow,
Straighter than an arrow,
I’m goin’ in the right gate,
The one that God has made straight.
Cause there’s a way that’s broad,
Don’t lead a man to God.
That many folks will travel,
And see their life unravel.
But few of us will find the way,
That leads a man a to life.
Whatever you want done to you,
Then do the very same.
You often get what you give out,
That’s how life plays the game.
Just read the Law and Prophets,
And surely you will find,
That those who love their neighbor,
Get treated back in kind.
Chorus:
I’m walkin’ the straight and narrow,
Straighter than an arrow,
I’m goin’ in the right gate,
The one that God has made straight.
Cause there’s a way that’s broad,
Don’t lead a man to God.
That many folks will travel,
And see their life unravel.
But few of us will find the way,
That leads a man a to life.
Have you ever heard a preacher
Bleating like a sheep?
But inside he’s a hungry wolf,
Who’ll kill you in your sleep.
Men don’t gather grapes from thorns
Or figs from thistles reap.
You’ll love a tree for its good fruit,
The evil we don’t keep.
Chorus:
I’m walkin’ the straight and narrow,
Straighter than an arrow,
I’m goin’ in the right gate,
The one that God has made straight.
Cause there’s a way that’s broad,
Don’t lead a man to God.
That many folks will travel,
And see their life unravel.
But few of us will find the way,
That leads a man a to life.
I knew a man who built a house,
And set it on a rock.
Another man was not so bright,
Used sand from down the block.
And when the winds and storm came up,
The second washed away.
But that house built on solid stone,
Will stand day after day.
Chorus:
I’m walkin’ the straight and narrow,
Straighter than an arrow,
I’m goin’ in the right gate,
The one that God has made straight.
Cause there’s a way that’s broad,
Don’t lead a man to God.
That many folks will travel,
And see their life unravel.
But few of us will find the way,
That leads a man a to life.
Yes, few of us will find the way,
That leads a man a to life.
