“Enter by the narrow gate.
For the gate is wide
and the way is easy
that leads to destruction
and those who enter by it are many.
How narrow the gate and constricted
the road that leads to life.
And those who find it are few.”

who raised up Your Cross to span the jaws of death

as farmers sow grain but it sprang up
and yielded an abundant harvest of men
raised from the dead.”
