Slow and Steady

On the way to grandma's house
I stayed on the narrow path
But my brother wandered off
Deep into the woods

Bitten twice by rattlesnakes
Tangled up in poisoned oak
He fell down and broke his legs
To a great ravine

When I arrived at grandma's house
She had made us tea and cake
She asks me where my brother was
And I said, "I don't know," and ate
When I get to heaven
I'll be greeted warmly
Surrounded by the angel
As Jesus takes my hand

And I'll receive a mansion
On the river Jordan
And a crown of diamonds
For a race well run

And I won't have to lock my doors
And I will trust my neighbors
Confident that they deserve
To be there in heaven too
