The Way, The Truth, and The Life

The Way, The Truth, and The Life John 14:6 New King James Version (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. The Way Lord, I seek out your guidance Lord, I seek out your wisdom I trust not my own thoughts I am daily seeking your kingdom I do not put faith in my own ideas For fear they will lead me astray I trust the path You set out before me I know to not travel any other way I know to not seek out my own fame I want all that I do to be to Your glory I know in my servant's heart I play a small role in the grander story I know to not seek out my own wants Because You will provide my need I know to not waste time on worry Because of You I am free I know that in times of trial You will set my path aright I know that in the darkness You will provide your light Lord I pray to You in the dark of night Lord I pray to You in the light of day Lord I pray for guidance from no other Lord I know You truly are The Way The Truth The world is so darkly misleading A new cruel twist at every turn Worldly lies that God is now revealing With the more of His Word that I learn The world teaches that there is no truth Nothing in this life is absolute But there's truth in the scriptures The world tries so hard to dilute Men of faith are dangerous To the world of deceivers They try to quench the spirit They want no part of believers Many will fight to stop us From spreading His Holy Word But we will not be halted Until the whole world has heard A man of faith can't be held down The truth of the Word sets him free At one time, the world had us fooled Once blind, but now we see We shed the world's blinding lies When we accept the Lord's truth All things will be made new again Restoring the free spirit of our youth The Life At times life seemed more than I could bear Looking at the world through an angry stare Rolling through the years searching everywhere Always searching for some false satisfaction Always needing another useless distraction Always fighting another sinful attraction Denying the truth of the situation Getting lost in self-evaluation What I really needed was revelation I was always so wrapped up in my pride In all things, to myself, continually I lied Forever feeding the emptiness inside A continuation of an empty existence Fighting the enemy's usual persistence Tired of chasing meager subsistence But I will walk that path never more Leave behind the useless lusts of before My true life has now been restored I found out that God truly does forgive My sins I just have to learn not to relive And embrace the life God has given me to live
