The world is calling us with doors open wide
Signs of glamour light the way
But if you count the cards you'll figure out there are better ways to take
Moving through this life all too many times
I'm on roads I should not drive
The only peace I find is on the path close to Jesus' side

On the dramas of tomorrow
And the joy that's mine today
Is only if I follow a lonely narrow way
How bitter sweet the journey
One day at a time
But all the joy before me now that one day will be mine

To keep the vision through the trials on the way
Of a golden narrow gate
The way to heaven I'm learning now all it takes is faith
And I don't doubt this road will lead me to that place
And I'll arrive and go on through
You ask me how I know
Jesus dieing, says that's what I'll do

On the promise of tomorrow
And the joy that's mine today
Is only if I follow a lonely narrow way
How bitter sweet the journey
One day at a time
But all the joy before me now that one day will be mine
On the promise of tomorrow
And the joy that's mine today
Is only if I follow a lonely narrow way
How bitter sweet the journey
One day at a time
But all the joy before me now that one day will be mine
