The One Where Vic Writes a Song

I am trying to write and record more music. I thought this would be a fun way to let people hear what I have been working on. This song is called “The Gate.” I recorded it with one of our missionaries, Elder Garry Pfile.




The Gate

I am just a wayward child
I wander in paths that wind
Through dark and danger.
There is one who calls me
To walk in the way of truth and love.

Lost,
But I am not alone.
The Savior lights my way,
Leads me through the narrow gate
To everlasting day.

I am not the only one
To struggle in unbelief,
To blindly roam.
Jesus bids me find his sheep
For to lead them safely back home.

Lost, but we are not alone
The Savior lights our way.
Leads us through the narrow gate
To everlasting day.

Few there be that find the gate;
For narrow is the road.
I will walk the path that’s strait,
Then he’ll welcome me into his fold.

Lost, but I am not alone.
The Savior lights my way.
Leads me through the narrow gate
To everlasting day.

I am found,
I’m freed from worldly cares,
The Savior lights my way.
Leads me through the narrow gate
To everlasting day.
