WHY SO NARROW?

God gave and gave:

            Created heaven and earth;
            created mountains and seas;
            gave us plants and animals;
            breath and Time;
            gave us hope for Eternity.

He gave us His Word
            and Gave us His Son;
            gave us Love and Wisdom
            color, laughter and tears.

God gives and gives, in joy and sorrow.
            He gives us our faith and peace; gives justice;
            gives us His healing and brings us providence;
            teaches discernment of evil and good;
            lets us fill pages of history.

He gives us our strength for today and tomorrow.

Great gifts He gave and He gave and gave
He gives and He gives: and gives still.
Then why is His Way so narrow?
And  —  Oh  —  yes: He gives us free will!
