The Path of the King’s Highway


 THE PATH OF THE KING’S HIGHWAY

By George Thurlow

©️July 5, 1999


Sometimes in this life 

There are troubles and strife;

You are burdened down with cares.

But just look to the Cross,

And compare the cost,

Then your load’s not too heavy to bear.


The road to Calvary was lonely and cruel,

But the Savior went all the way.

By example He led,

And we too must tread 

The path of the King’s Highway.


In the darkest of nights 

You still have the Light.

Through the tears you are able to see:

The Lord on the Cross, 

Who paid the great cost,

Now bearing the burden for thee.


Someday round the bend 

The journey will end. 

Ahead, your first glimpse of home.

The Savior to meet, and  loved ones to greet, 

All there to welcome you home.


The road to Glory was rocky and rough 

Yet Christ went with you all the way.

By example He led,

And you too had to tread the path of the Kings Highway.

Isaiah 35:8-10 

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: and the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
