THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW WAY
By: Paul Humphrey (BMI)

VERSE 1: HE WAS ABOUT THE FATHERS' BUSINESS
FROM THE TIME HE WAS YOUNG
HE LOVED TO TELL THE STORY OF GOD'S ONLY SON
PREACHING JESUS CRUCIFIED
WITH THE SPIRIT FROM ABOVE
THE CONVICTING POWER OF GOD WOULD FALL
SEASONED WITH HIS LOVE

VERSE 2: HE WALKED MANY MILES
WITH A BIBLE IN HIS HAND
BETWEEN THE DEAD AND THE LIVING
IN THE PULPIT HE WOULD STAND
READING FROM THE HOLY WORD
HOW JESUS PAID THE COST
AN INSPIRATION TO THE SAVED
A WITNESS TO THE LOST

CHORUS: DADDY, OH DADDY, I CAN'T CALL BACK THE YEARS
FONDLY MY HEART RECALLS
THE STRUGGLE AND THE TEARS
HOW YOU CRIED FOR THE LOST MAN
ON YOUR KNEES EVERY DAY
FOR FIFTY SEVEN YEARS YOU PREACHED
THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW WAY

VERSE 3: MY DADDY WASN'T PERFECT
HE HAD FAULTS LIKE ANY MAN
BUT HE WAS DEDICATED TO GOD AND HIS PLAN
HUMBLY ASKING GOD TO LEAD
IN FAITH HE WALKED EACH DAY
HE FOLLOWED JESUS FROM THE CROSS
TO THE PEARLY GATES
