"Heaven's Narrow Road"

Verse 1
It's easy to take that broad highway
But sooner or later you're gonna find
That familiar road that once led you astray
Back to that place you tried to leave behind
I'm not trying to judge you
But I'd hate to see you fall
The good or bad held in your heart
You know God sees it all
Every bit of it

Chorus
You can't keep one foot in the world
And the other on heaven's narrow road
There's coming a time
Make up your mind
Who you'll serve
With your heart and soul
Chose this day who you will serve
Chose this day who you will serve
Cause you can't keep one foot in the world
And the other on heaven's narrow road
Oh no, no, no

Verse 2
Are you like a shining city on a hill?
Or just another dark place in the night?
Holding onto pieces of this world still?
While it wears you down, tries to steal your light
I'm not here to judge you
But I'd hate to see you fall
The good or bad held in your heart
You know God sees it all
That's why I tell you

Chorus
You can't keep one foot in the world
And the other on heaven's narrow road
There's coming a time
You need to make up your mind
Who you'll serve
With your heart and soul
Chose this day who you will serve
Chose this day who you will serve
Cause you can't keep one foot in the world
And the other on heaven's narrow road
Oh no, no, no

Verse 3
No servant can serve two masters
For either he will hate the one and love the other
Or else he will be hold to one and despise the other
You cannot serve God and mammon
What good are the world's riches
If you lose your soul?
You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord
And the cup of demons
You cannot partake of the table of the Lord
And the table of the devil
For what fellowship does the light have with darkness?

Chorus
You can't keep one foot in the world
And the other on heaven's narrow road
There's coming a time
Make up your mind
Who you'll serve
With your heart and soul
Chose this day who you will serve
Chose this day who you will serve
Cause you can't keep one foot in the world
And the other on heaven's narrow road
Oh no, no, no

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!

Bawb,

Nice big vocal (a bit like Springsteen), and a good solid appropriate backing track.

Well done all round.

Cool vocal. Backtrack was perfect for the vocal.

Bawb...so how do you really feel?...this is one of those "Red Letter" songs...Loved it...great track to put with the lyrical content...the narration of scripture solidifies the authority of the piece...sometimes holding back is the wrong strategy for the message...you didn't hold back it's evident in the vocal...Thanks for not (holding back)...Dan

Bawb,

A good write. An impassioned vocal. Per usual.

Backing is good. Drums could use a bit more punch (louder?). The vocals sit above the mix (not sure if it is a volume issue - it's a bit loud - or a reverb issue - it seems "different" than the band).

I enjoy your offerings.

Some powerful lyrics, delivered with passion.
Could be an anthem for believers.

Nice one.

Definitely has an anthem quality, and the gritty vocals are the icing on the cake. Some of the prosody of the melody lines is a little rough, but only here and there. Most of it works just fine. Excellent work!

Excellent lyrics and a very strong chorus. Looking at the song pic it's really puzzling how many can't see the obvious choice. Really cool how you break it down for the spoken word. Yeah, like TuneMonger said, anthem quality. Great vocal too, Bawb.


Enjoy whatever happens!

That's some heavy duty P&W!

And you delivered it with conviction and authority.

Good band but the sw feel drums seem a bit out of place with the ev feel of the tune.
Maybe a hard rock kit?

Enjoyed it.
