Only Few Will Survive
Image: Satan walks proudly at the head of a vast crowd, leading countless souls down the wide path of destruction. Lust, greed, vanity, and pride mark the faces of the deceived — lost in pleasure and unaware of the fire awaiting them. Couples embrace, money is worshipped, and selfies mask the silence of conscience. Behind them, the road twists toward the lake of fire. This is the broad way spoken of by Christ — the way that many follow. But the Ark still waits, though only a few will choose the narrow gate.
Verse 1
Wide is the gate, and broad the road,Where millions march with heavy load.
But narrow is the sacred path —
Few find the way that escapes the wrath.
As in the days of Noah's cry,
The floods will rise, the world will die.
Pre-Chorus
A preacher warned, the world just laughed —But truth was sealed upon the craft.
Chorus
Only few will survive — the rest will fall,Like fire from Heaven, like judgment's call.
Like Noah's ark, just eight stood tall —
A righteous remnant, spared from it all.
Only few will survive — only truth will remain,
While the wicked drown in the cleansing rain.
Verse 2
He spared not Sodom, nor the flame,But rescued Lot from the city's shame.
The righteous vexed by what they saw —
Yet mercy moved by holy law.
The world repeats its fatal trend —
Blind to fire that comes again.
Bridge
He saved the few, He crushed the vile,He judged the proud, spared none defiled.
Like shadows looming, days repeat —
Will you stand, or face defeat?
Breakdown
"Few there be that find it...""Eight souls by water..."
"He condemned the ungodly..."
"Are you ready... when the fire falls?"
Chorus
Only few will survive — the storm, the flame,Not by chance, not by name.
The narrow path, the sacred code —
The Ark still waits — one final load.
Only few will survive — the rest will mourn,
As Heaven thunders, and the veil is torn.
Outro
"Enter ye in at the strait gate...""...for wide is the gate, and broad is the way..."
"...that leads to destruction..."
"...and many go therein..."
"...but few... few will survive."
Scripture References
Genesis 6-7 (KJV):
"And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood... And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and all flesh died that moved upon the earth."
Genesis 19 (KJV):
"Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow."
Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV):
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
1 Peter 3:20-21 (KJV):
"Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:"
2 Peter 2:5-7 (KJV):
"And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:"
