~ Where Old Path’s Lead ~
Lord, lead me to the old paths,
the ones tried and true . . .
so I may follow Your ways
in all I set out to do.
Let me not forget Thy grace,
the election of my inheritance
let me not lose sight of You
due to my prideful arrogance.
Let me not be caught up in,
the gospel of convenience
one that doesn’t include
from sin any abstinence.
Help me to stand and see,
to consider and to compare
the path of Your righteousness
so to false teachers I’ll be aware.
Let me not be deceived,
by the spirit of this age
in the church of the godless
where You have been upstaged.
Lord, may I walk the old paths,
for I know they lead to You . . .
let me not walk on the paths
that the heathen people do!

“Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way, and walk therein,
and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, We will not walk therein.”

In God’s Control ~
Lord, keep my mind,
keep it secured
into satan’s traps
let it not be lured.
Lord, keep my thoughts,
keep them on You
don’ let them be jaded
by the world’s view.
Lord, keep my heart,
keep it far away
to false teachings
do not let it sway.
Lord, keep my soul,
keep it close to You
let it keep heaven
always in its view.
Lord, keep my mind,
thoughts, heart, soul
keep them always . . .
in Your divine control!

“For they that are after the flesh
do mind the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the
Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded
is life and peace.”

Silencing of the Sheep ~
There’s a silencing today,
of many of the Lord’s sheep
for the mention of sin . . .
under the carpet they sweep.
There’s a dumbing-down today,
sheep don’t say what they should
for what they know is bad
they now call fine and good.
There’s a suppressing today,
the sheep are now mute
immorality no longer
is something they dispute.
There’s a muzzling today,
truth sheep no longer speak
for the true Word of God . . .
they irredeemably tweak.
There’s a shushing today,
of those on the narrow path
for the sheep have forgotten
evil will meet with God’s wrath.
In God’s flock today,
there is a silencing
and this sheep thinks . . .
it’s woefully frightening!

“Woe unto them that call evil good,
and good evil; that put darkness
for light, and light for darkness;
that put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!”

The Narrow Road ~
They say there are two roads,
one’s called low, the other high
and throughout my life . . .
both of them, I have tried.
The low one was crowded,
on it, I had many friends
we partied and caroused . . .
right from the start, to the end.
But, soon I discovered,
the evilness on this path
I knew it would only lead me
to the full measure of God’s wrath.
So, I got myself off the road,
leading to death and destruction
and for the higher one . . .
I went looking for instruction.
But, soon I discovered,
heresy and false teaching
for wolves in sheep clothing . . .
were doing all the preaching.
So, I got myself off the road,
turned from the error I had heard
decided to find the truth . . .
that is only found in the Good Word.
They say there are two roads,
one’s called high, the other low
but, I discovered another road . . .
and it’s called ~ the one narrow!

“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

The Old Paths ~
Lord, lead me to the old paths,
the ones tried and true
so I may follow Your ways
in all I set out to do.
Let me not forget Thy grace,
the election of my inheritance
let me not lose sight of You
because of pride or arrogance.
Let me not be caught up in,
the gospel of convenience
one that doesn’t include a cross
or to me, any inconvenience.
Help me to stand and see,
to consider and compare
the path of righteousness
so false prophets I’ll be aware.
Let me not be deceived,
by the spirit of this age
in the church of the godless
where You have been upstaged.
Lord, may I walk the old paths,
for I know they lead to You
let me not walk on the paths
that the heathen people do!

Jeremiah 6:16
King James Version
“Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways,
and see, and ask for the old paths,
where is the good way, and walk therein,
and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, We will not walk therein.”
