Take Me Home, Romans Road (song)

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." So said Doc Brown in "Back to the Future Part II", and that was true enough for that movie's version of 2015. We still rely on roads a lot in the 2015 of reality though. And there are many roads to choose to get to many places. Sometimes there are a number of roads that can be taken to get to the same place. But sometimes, there are those places that only have one road of entry. And while the country roads of West Virginia or Denver, Colorado can take some home, there's only one Road that takes all of us Home. Everyone wants to go to Heaven, it seems, but many have so many ideas on how to get there. Jesus Christ said that He is The Way, The Truth and The Life- No man comes to The Father but by Him. It's only through faith in His death and Resurrection that we can get to Heaven. And The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to lay out the plan of salvation for us in the book of Romans- and you can follow the verses outlined in this song straight through the book- all the way down Romans Road- to get to Jesus at the end. :-)

Take Me Home, Romans Road
(parody of "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver; copyright by Nathan Ludwick 11/4/2014)
(Matthew 7:12-14, John 14:6, Ephesians 2:1-10, Romans 3:23, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9-13, 8:1-10, 8:18-30)
(Shout outs to C.S. Lewis for being awesome and writing "The Weight of Glory" and to Watchman Nee for being awesome and writing "Sit, Walk, Stand". :-))

The road to Heaven- Yes, Virginia
(Is) Through Christ's fountain- shed blood flowing river
Christ alone, dear- go there if you please
No one just by good deeds- Romans chapter 3

Romans Road- Take me Home to The Place for which I long
We're all sinners bound for Gomorrah
Save me, Lord- (The) Cross leads Home

All have sinned- 3:23, yeah
5 verse 8 see- estranged when Jesus bought us
6:23- payment for sin is die
Jesus saves- in 10:9- make God Lord of your life

Romans Road- Takes us Home to The Place for which we long
We were sinners bound for Gehenna
8:10, go (on)- Romans Road

I read that verse- by The Lord's own power He holds me
The weight of glory reminds me of my Home far away
I'm walking Narrow Road- I hit Ephesians
I sit, walk, stand 'til Home all the way through Christ's grace

Romans Road- Take me Home to The Place where I belong
Verse 8:18- Glory unseen
Beats life's load- Wait with Hope

Romans Road- Take us Home to The Place we belong
Just us sinners bought by Father
Take us Home, Narrow Road
Take us Home through Romans Road
Take us Home through Romans Road
