Many people say today
They've been born again
Many people call Him "Lord"
And say He is their friend
Thousands watch the preachers smiling
On their TV screens
But when I hear the words of Jesus
I wonder what it means
Only a few enter the small gate
Only a few walk in the narrow way
Only a few are takin' the long road to life
Only a few hearin' the Savior
Only a few doin' His favor
Only a few are changin' the darkness to light
Many thought when Christ was here
They wеre the holy ones
Many said thеy followed God
But passed right by His Son
Is it any different now
Are we so self-assured
Do we come to Him for mercy
And hunger for His Word
Only a few enter the small gate
Only a few walk in the narrow way
Only a few are takin' the long road to life
Only a few hearin' the Savior
Only a few doin' His favor
Only a few are changin' the darkness to light
Am I tryin' to be self-righteous
Am I tryin' to be cool
Am I tryin' to scare you into thinkin'
You're some kind of fool
If He said these words to you
He's sayin' the same to me
I think we'd better all consider
What it has to be
Only a few enter the small gate
Only a few walk in the narrow way
Only a few are takin' the long road to life
Only a few hearin' the Savior
Only a few doin' His favor
Only a few are changin' the darkness to light
