The Old Crossroads

1
Oh my brother take this warning
5 1
Don’t let old Satan hold your hand
 
You’ll be lost in sin forever
5 1
You’ll never reach the promised land
 

The old crossroads now is waiting
Which one are you going to take
One leads down to destruction
The other to the pearly gate

One road leads up to heaven
The other goes down below
Jesus our savior will protect you
He’ll guide you by the old crossroads

Soon your life will be over
You’ll have to face the old crossroads
Will you be ready then my brother
To shun the one goes down below
