Rod Of Iron

   Words & Music By Gary Livingston

 

There's a straight and narrow path which leads

To the Tree of Life 

          Bearing the sweetest, most precious fruit

          The pure love of Christ

 

A Rod of Iron runs along this path

Leading to the tree

          Representing the Word of God in all its truth

          In all its purity

         

[Chorus]

          Hold fast to that Rod of Iron

Trust in the Word of God

Strait is the gate and narrow the way

          Hold fast to that Iron Rod

 

          [Interlude]   

 

Along this path are forbidden roads

Enticing us to lose our way

          Mist of darkness, temptations all around

          Don't forget to pray     (And…)        [Chorus]

 

          [Interlude]     

 

Take hold of that Rod of Iron

God's word will employ

          Taste the fruit of His eternal love

          Hearts are filled with joy      (If we….)    [Chorus]

 

[Outro]
