[Verse 1] A rope is stretched from shore to shore, High above the world below. Some refuse to take the step; Some believe they’ll never fall. Voices echo from both sides, Each one certain of the way: “Trust yourself a little more!” “Throw those careful steps away!” ⸻ [Chorus] Don’t look to the right. Don’t look to the left. Neither voice can give you rest. One says, “Earn it.” One says, “You’re free.” Neither makes the sinner blessed. Eyes upon the Father’s love. Step by step, the path grows bright. Every trembling foot finds peace By keeping Jesus’ face in sight. ⸻ [Verse 2] To the right, a weary walker Counts each step with growing dread. Every stumble feels like failure; Every hope hangs by a thread. Hands grow white from gripping harder, Certain effort will win the race. Every step demands still more, Still he cannot earn God’s grace. ⸻ [Chorus] Don’t look to the right. Don’t look to the left. Neither voice can give you rest. One says, “Earn it.” One says, “You’re free.” Neither makes the sinner blessed. Eyes upon the Father’s love. Step by step, the path grows bright. Every trembling foot finds peace By keeping Jesus’ face in sight. ⸻ [Verse 3] To the left another wanders, Never seeing danger near. “If the Father’s arms are open, Why be careful?” tempts the ear. Slowly drifting toward the edge, Thinking nothing can be lost. Forgetting love has always carried Both a promise and a cost. ⸻ [Chorus] Don’t look to the right. Don’t look to the left. Neither voice can give you rest. One says, “Earn it.” One says, “You’re free.” Neither makes the sinner blessed. Eyes upon the Father’s love. Step by step, the path grows bright. Every trembling foot finds peace By keeping Jesus’ face in sight. ⸻ [Bridge] The answer isn’t leaning harder. The answer isn’t letting go. A quiet voice breaks through the shouting: “Look at Me.” The rope is still narrow. The wind still blows. But every trembling step grows steady When Christ becomes your focal point. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Don’t look to the right. Don’t look to the left. Love alone can give us rest. Not by striving. Not by ease. Christ alone can make us blessed. Eyes upon the Father’s love. Step by step, the path grows bright. Every trembling foot finds peace By keeping Jesus’ face in sight. ⸻ [Outro] The narrow way was never walked by staring at the danger… Only by looking into the face of the Savior.
