Broad is the Road, Wide is the Gate

from Rock Mass Rodeo by The Songs of Tom Smith

lyrics

Someone in this Church will burn, they know who they are
Hiding in the shadows, doorway dark
When I offer salvation, come streaming down the aisles
Confessing and repenting the lie (works every time)

CHORUS
Hell hath no discretion to measure or give weight
Broad is the road, wide is the gate

Wretched sinners are saved; the well-versed ones don’t count
Blocking the door half in half out
I/pound that halfway Christian, my/sledgehammer high
Knock him down, let that sinner inside (works every time)

CHORUS

I pray for God to smite you down with a vengeful fist
Why dread me so if he don’t exist
Deliver me this infidel, that sinner makes haste to hide
Into every town when I ride (works every time)

Spiritual prospects poisoned and your family’s in turn
Do you want to meet them in Heaven or burn?
When he/comes begging for Mercy/see him beg and cry
Come to the Revival Meeting tonight (works every time)

CHORUS
Hell hath no discretion to measure or give weight
Broad is the road, wide is the gate
Hell hath no discretion to measure or give weight
Only destruction awaits

Bridge
The Prosperous and the Pauper of any race you choose
The Sovereign and his servant, the conundrum and the clue
Baptist, Bretheren, the Gentille and the Jew
Learned and unlettered in the pulpit and the pew

CHORUS
Hell hath no discretion to measure or give weight
Broad is the road, wide is the gate
Hell hath no discretion to measure or give weight
Only destruction awaits
