Pilgrim on the Sola way

Pilgrim on the Sola way

Pilgrims walked down the mountainous road called life

Their destination: A Glorious Fellowship Party in Heaven.

However, the road forks ahead and ...

only one way goes the right way,

Not all the roads lead to Rome.

Most pilgrims carried on and took the wide way,

The easy way, or so it seemed.

Yet, A few pilgrims stopped,  looked and asked.

They asked the Ancient of Days for the ancient way

Where is the good way, the right way?

Their eyes opened to see a narrow ledge

On the side of the mountain

Jesus stood by the start of the path

Only by His Grace can you go through

And by placing your faith, in that He has done it all.

There is no space for bringing any good work

The only map-book for the journey: The Bible,

His ancient words, Yet still living and active

Sharper than anything else in the universe

The grass fades, people fade away,

Yet the Word will stand and live forever.

And when the few pilgrims get to the other side

And the myriads of faithful witnesses before them

welcome them in by the Gates of Pearls

All would be singing 

Soli Deo Gloria
