Lyrics
Oh my brother take this warning
Warning to the brother to avoid the influence of Satan.
Don’t let old Satan hold your hand
Caution against letting Satan lead or influence.
You'll be lost in sin forever
Consequences of being lost in sin eternally.
You'll never reach the Promised Land
Diminished chance of reaching the Promised Land.
The old crossroad now is waiting
The old crossroads present a choice.
Which one are you goin' to take?
Asking which path the brother will choose.
One leads down to destruction
One path leads to destruction.
The other to the Pearly Gates
The other leads to the Pearly Gates.
One road leads up to Heaven
One road leads upwards to Heaven.
The other goes down below
Another descends below, away from salvation.
Jesus our Savior will protect you
Assurance that Jesus will protect and guide.
He'll guide you by the old crossroad
Guidance provided at the old crossroad.
The old crossroad now is waiting
Reiteration of the choice at the old crossroad.
Which one are you goin' to take?
Questioning the decision to be made.
One leads down to destruction
Warning about the path leading to destruction.
The other to the Pearly Gates
Highlighting the alternative leading to the Pearly Gates.
Soon your life will be over
A reminder of life's brevity and the impending crossroad.
You'll have to face the old crossroad
The inevitability of facing the old crossroad.
Will you be ready then my brother
Questioning preparedness to avoid the destructive path.
To shun the one that goes down below?
Emphasis on avoiding the path leading down below.
The old crossroad now is waiting
Reiteration of the choice at the old crossroad.
Which one are you goin' to take?
Repeating the question of which path will be taken.
One leads down to destruction
Reinforcement of the consequences of the destructive path.
The other to the Pearly Gates
Emphasis on the alternative leading to the Pearly Gates.
