One Road

There's just one road to travel;
It is paved by God's own Hand.
It leads to life eternal
and it touches every land.
No byways and no side lanes;
No detours along the way.
The travelers will reach their goal
Where peace shall always stay.
The road is straight and narrow,
But shines with heavenly light.
Such a joyous way to travel,
Safe through day and night.
There is no charge to enter,
Admission is always free,
For Jesus paid for everyone
On the cross at Calvary.
Edna Missimilla
