Out of the Darkness

Wide is the gate and broad is the way
That leads to destruction,
And there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate
And difficult is the way
Which leads to life,
And there are few who find it.”
(Matthew 7:13–14)
Verse 2 – Warning
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
Shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
But he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord,’
Have we not prophesied in Your name…’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’”
(Matthew 7:21–23)
Pre-Chorus – Weight
“What will it profit a man
If he gains the whole world,
And loses his own soul?”
(Matthew 16:26)

“From that time Jesus began to preach and to say,
‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
(Matthew 4:17)
Verse 3 – The Call
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden,
And I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
For I am gentle and lowly in heart,
And you will find rest for your souls.”
(Matthew 11:28–29)
Chorus (Lifted)
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.”
(Matthew 5:6, 8)
Bridge – Authority Rising
“All authority has been given to Me
In heaven and on earth.”
(Matthew 28:18)
Breakdown – Victory
“You are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Let your light so shine before men,
That they may see your good works
And glorify your Father in heaven.”

And His righteousness,
And all these things shall be added to you.”

I am with you always,
Even to the end of the age.”
