Follow me, this is the way Jesus Christ is the king
Let's follow the leader, he's hot like a heater, so run it up
He fills my cup, and when I get stuck, he lifts me up

We ain't sugar coating like a buttercup
It's time to rise, not compromise
Be filled with truth, not Satan's lies
This is how we go, this is our flow

Life ain't easy, bro, but that's okay
It's not too late, repent to him and get a blank slate
So have some faith, let him take the place of your shame
So you can proclaim his holy name
Yeah, that's the real game, to proclaim his holy name

So take the narrow road if you wanna find peace
If you wanna be free, take the narrow road
To walk integrity and to be ready

For when he comes back, but no one knows the time
For when he's comin' back, nah
So get ready now, it's time to act
Stop sittin' on the fence, it ain't time for that, yeah

Take the narrow road
Jesus party

So get ready now, it's time to act
Stop sittin' on the fence, it ain't time for that

It's time to act, not stand back
But you lukewarm Christian ain't ready for that
Get out of your crib and stop with your fibs
No excuses if your followin' him

And followin' him ain't for the wimps
Or the fake Christians
Oh, and by the way, uh, yeah
This is not religion

It's a relationship with the Father
But think about it and ponder
Why would God not want to talk to his creation
And it gets real when they fake to know

Jesus is for our souls
But I will not fake to know Christ
Cause he remade me, bro
And he saved me from captivity

Gave me victory over my enemies
Who the son sets free is free indeed
And since I'm free, I'm following the king
I don't need the gold or the diamond rings
The only thing I want is when the Holy Spirit hits me up
Convicting me so I can

Take the narrow road
Cause I wanna find peace
Cause I wanna be free
Take the narrow road
To walk integrity
And to be ready

For when he comes back
But no one knows the time for when he's comin' back
Nah, so get ready now
It's time to act

Stop sittin' on the fence
It Ain't time for that, yeah

Take the narrow road
Jesus party

So get ready now
It's time to act
Stop sittin' on the fence
It Ain't time for that, yeah

Take the narrow road
It's time to be bold
We're knockin' on the doors
To the devil's stronghold
And this is our code, yeah

Here's what's gold
To know him and love him and be ready
For when he comes back
But no one knows the time for when he's comin' back Nah,

So get ready now
It's time to act
Stop sittin' on the fence
It Ain't time for that, yeah
