These are evil days
With people compromising every moral standard
Survival of the fittest
Like animals that eat each other to be the strongest
The pressure's on
To play by the rules, which is no rules at all
Lie, cheat, and betray
To obtain a crown that's only going to rust and decay
Over and over
They store up wrath for themselves
Your faithfulness is sure
You promise me Your best
With my sin to the East
And myself here at the West
You lead me on in peace
You make my pathways straight
My enemies will tremble at You name
Honesty discouraged
They say the way to get ahead is get your hands dirty
They say you'll fall some day
When it doesn't stay convenient to remain in integrity
God will make a way
Even if the way to make it isn't seen at first
So what is the point
If I fight to gain the world but lose my soul
This world
Lost on a highway headed to Hell
Helpless
If we don't give them the way to the light
I am not to share in the fate of this world
My god is not approval of men of the crowd
Enter through the narrow gate
For wide is the gate
And broad is the road that leads to destruction
And many will go there
But small is the gate
And narrow is the road that leads to life
And only a few will find it
Your faithfulness is sure
You promise me Your best
With my sin to the East
And myself here at the West
You lead me on in peace
You make my pathway straight
My enemies will tremble at Your name
