Faithful, But Few

 

It’s never easy in this life
To walk the path we face,
But They can walk it knowing that
They’ll do so by Your grace.
 
You walked a weary, bitter path
That You might save the lost.
Now those who seek to follow You
Will also pay a cost.
 
For the path that will lead them home
Is narrow, hard, and steep
And few there are who will walk it.
Only Your faithful sheep.
 
In fact, all those who walk this path
Have heard Your voice and know
The path You walked will be theirs too.
Still, they’ll rise and follow.
 
They know this life won’t be easy,
Yet they will follow You
Until they reach the narrow gate.
They’re faithful, though they’re few.
 
Matthew 7:14
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
