This is easy to utter
But difficult to adhere
As this means surrender
To our Abba Father.

Smooth and wide is the road to wickedness
Many are opting to reject righteousness:
Womanizing, indulging to lust and drugs
Stealing, lying, and slaughtering like a thug.

The road to divinity is like a high mountain
It is extremely steep, as full of problems
Due to its narrowness — be vigilant not to slip
As temptations arise from time to time in the cliff.

Oftentimes, we are hardheaded as we take the wrong path
Yet God's mercy keeps us detouring back to the right track.
As we are about to arrive at the dead end
There's always a way that He is preparing.

A hump-free road is not what God has promised
'Cause obstacles are laid on to strengthen our faith
As we take up our daily cross and follow Jesus
Worry not — He will never leave nor forsake us.

At the end of this travel, a new place to behold
Where gates are made of pearl and streets are composed of gold
And the Father will crown us who persevere suffering
Replacing it with unending life and joy in heaven.

***

"Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."
- Luke 9:23 (NKJV)
