Hymn 231

Which way are you choosing, the narrow or broad?

Richard Bewes

Verse 1

Which way are you choosing, the narrow or broad?

You’ll have to make up your mind!

Just give up your own way and follow the Lord

Why don’t you make up your mind

He died a stranger of Galilee

To bring salvation to you and me;

A strong companion you’ll prove Him to be

So won’t you make up your mind?

Verse 2

Which crowd will you follow, the large or the small?

Be sure to make up your mind

The cost is demanding but hear Jesus’ call;

Then come and make up your mind

Your friends may shun you unthinkingly

But Christ gives power and liberty

To life with a purpose you’ll find the key

When once you make up your mind!

Verse 3

On which are you resting the Rock or the sand?

You’d better make up your mind

With Christ as foundation your building will stand

But have you made up your mind?

Temptations and trials must come your way

The storm of judgment will rage one day

Take Jesus and on Him your confidence stay

Don’t wait, but make up your mind.

Verse 4

O! What will you do with the Saviour today?

He bids you make up your mind

Repent and accept Him without delay

O sinner make up your mind

Why stumble alone along the road

He’ll sort your tangles, He’ll take your load

And in your heart, He’ll make His abode

It’s time to make up your mind!
