Highway to Heaven

On the highway to Heaven,
Access if you are forgiven;
Many exits leading to astray,
And detours along the way.

Temptation tends to lure,
To a side street so unsure;
Enticing your deep desire,
Setting it into a blazing fire.

Treacherous roads mislead,
Where Bible tells to heed;
Causing you toil and strife,
On the bumpy road of life.

Even possibly a traffic jam,
That Satan started in a scam;
To trap you in some ordeal,
As you lie, cheat, and steal.

God will build you a ramp,
To steer away from a vamp;
If you accept Christ as Lord,
Repent and abide in His Word.
