The Path of the Just
The path of the just keeps shining brighter
The path appointed by their Maker
That path though ever straight and narrow
Will often lead to a great tomorrow
May your feet abide the course
May you win the tempter’s wars
May you find the treasure trove
Positioned by the Father’s love
I pray your life fulfils your purpose
To tell each person what he owes
A debt of love to the One who died
To bring him o’er to the Father’s side
