Christian Hymns ‎#318

318. Only One Way

1 There is only one way to the kingdom of God,
'Tis the old-fashioned way of the cross;
You must come to the Savior, pass under the blood,
You must count earthly pleasures as dross.

Chorus:
There is only one way,
'Tis the old-fashioned way,
You will find it today,
If you come to the cross,
And are washed in the sin-cleansing blood.

2 There is only one way to the kingdom of God,
You will find it is narrow and steep;
Turn away from the one that is easy and broad,
In the footsteps of Christ ever keep. [Chorus]

3 There is only one way to the kingdom of God,
'Tis the same for the great or the small;
'Tis the way of the cross and the sin-cleansing blood,
'Tis the way of salvation for all. [Chorus]

4 There is only one way to the kingdom of God,
But it leads to the home of the soul;
And the saved of all ages this pathway have trod,
As they journeyed in faith to the goal, [Chorus]
