Two Ways
 
1. Two ways are open to each person today:
The way of faith and the presumptuous way.
They both appear to offer a certain way to God,
The one is narrow and the other is broad. 
 
2. Faith's way is climbing up a steep, rugged grade,
With signs, conditions, warnings, clearly displayed;
These warnings must be heeded, these signs must be obeyed,
Conditions met, before much progress is made. 
 
3. Presumption's way goes down a smooth, easy track;
You take your sins with you, upon your back;
The signs are all excuses to hide a naked soul,
Yet millions walk this way to strive for the goal. 
 
4. But only one way has God's sanction and seal:
The way of Jesus–self-denying zeal;
A faith in heav'nly power to break sin's slaving bands,
And perfect service to His holy commands.
