Narrow Lane (Youth Choir Anthem)

Lyrics

Title: Narrow Lane (Youth Choir Anthem)
Scripture: Matthew 7:13–14

[Intro – Spoken over beat]
Two roads.
One crowded, one tight.
Matthew 7 said only one leads to life.

[Verse 1 – Solo]
Everybody yellin’, “Come this way,
Turn up, wild out, you only live one day.”
Broad road lit with the neon lights,
Sex, drugs, clout, whole lotta likes.
But I seen homies slide, never make it back,
Lost in the party, caught in the trap.
So when the Lord said, “Enter at the strait gate,”
I felt that—’cause the wide one full of hate.

[Pre-Chorus – Choir]
Matthew 7:13 talk real clear,
Wide is the gate, lotta folks go there.
Looks like fun, but it leads to pain,
I’m switchin’ up, I’m takin’ the narrow lane.

[Chorus – Youth Choir]
I’m on the narrow way, it’s tight but right,
Few gon’ find it, but it lead to life.
I’m dodgin’ that broad road, bright but fake,
I’d rather lose clout than my soul by mistake.
Strait is the gate, yeah, I made that choice,
Even if I’m solo, I’ll follow His voice.

[Verse 2 – Solo + Choir Echo]
Group chat laughin’ ’cause I won’t slide, (won’t slide)
Won’t hit that blunt, won’t lie on my pride. (no lie)
Shorty say, “If you love me, then prove,”
But I ain’t tryna die for a five-minute mood.
Friends say I’m lame ’cause I changed my route,
But they ain’t there when my faith get me out.
Matthew 7:14, narrow is the way,
Hard on the flesh, but my soul okay.

[Hook – Call & Response]
Leader: When the crowd say “go,” but your spirit say “no,”
Choir: Stay on the narrow lane.
Leader: When the pic might blow, but you gotta say “no,”
Choir: Stay on the narrow lane.
Leader: When the hype look sweet but the end is pain,
Choir: Turn from the broad road, choose life again.

[Bridge – Build]
It’s a thin road, but He walk with me,
I ain’t gotta fit what they want me to be.
Less of the world, more of His light,
Few may find it—but I’m holdin’ tight.

[Vamp – Drive]
Choir: Narrow, narrow, I’ma walk that line,
Leader: Even if only a few gon’ find.
Choir: Narrow, narrow, I’ma guard my soul,
Leader: I can’t trade life for a temporary role.

[Tag – Unison]
Broad road crowded, but it ain’t my lane,
I’m walkin’ with the King on the narrow plane.
