This is no road to ruin or despair
Nor does it goad the heart to sad lament
This is a hope-anointed thoroughfare
A better-times-are coming testament
No woe-is-me or what’s the point-of-this
Though sorrow and surrender’s pain assail
This is no highway to death’s farewell kiss
Or fear of what is next as pulses fail
Unless, (oh, pray the
Lord it is not so)
That He called you by name and you said ‘no’
