It takes a litte faith
And a little love
And some knowlegde of the Bible
To earn a place above.
It takes a great deal of striving
More than a little effort from us
If we want to travel
On the side of Jesus.
The only easy road.
Is the road of shame.
Life, however we may view it,
Is no simple game.
The price of our ihnheritance
Calls for a love that is true.
And a steadfast disposition
No matter how sin might woo.
You must take a bow and turn your cheek
You must risk and you must lose
And expect that in a struggle
You will suffer from a bruise.
But in the end, Christ will love and heal you
And anoint you with grace,
Wash away your sin and selfishness
So that you may look upon His face
