Heaven’s road is like a country road.
Not Paved and rough to drive...
It’s straight and narrow but full of holes.
Often you wonder if you’ll even survive.

The traffic will never be bumper to bumper,
For not many will chose this road.
Worldly people travel the interstates,
And they carry a the full-packed load.

They are looking for all the billboards,
Showing earthly pleasures that abound.
They choose to take every exit,
Where those temporary things can be found.

But what lies ahead in their future,
Won’t be exciting and certainly no fun.
They’ll stand at the White Throne Judgment,
Begging for mercy, but there will be none.

They’ll be judged and deemed to be guilty,
For they chose the wrong road to take.
No pleasures will be in their future,
Only damnation in a hot, fiery lake.

Even the redeemed don’t find the road easy,
For we are tempted to take many turns.
But our eyes stay focused on what lies ahead,
Eternity in Heaven is our only concern.

At times we are beset by terrible storms,
And it’s difficult to see the way.
But after the storms, God sends a rainbow,
And at its end lies Heaven’s bouquet.

Each pothole we hit is a problem,
But we are lifted out of them all.
Our Savior is there extending His hand.
We are His and He won’t let us fall.

Jesus paid our sin debt for us,
And we are covered by His veil.
We traveled the road to Heaven,
Rather than choosing the road to hell.
