You Are the Way

Savior, Your words in the Upper Room

Warned Your disciples about Your doom.

Yet you still promised both us, and they,

That to Your Father You are the Way.

You are the Way & the Truth & the Life

For all who follow You.

To all the world You brought gladness and light

Through a cross and an empty tomb

That You faced in that Upper Room.

Jesus, You wept in Gethsemane

As Your disciples fell fast asleep.

Yet You committed Yourself to do

All that the Father had planned for You.

You are the Way & the Truth & the Life

For all who trust in You.

To all Your people Your words gave the light:

To sinners a lot like me,

After You left Gethsemane.

Master, You let the mob lead You away,

All to fulfill what the Scriptures say,

Kissed by a traitor and bound like a thief,

Though You did nothing but bring relief!

You are the Way & the Truth & the Life

For all who call Your name:

Those who in darkness had seen a great light.

It will shine in us on that Day,

Though it hid as they led you away.

Jesus, You silently heard their lies;

You were rejected, abused, despised.

They treated You as OUR sins deserved---

Bearing the guilt that WE had incurred!

You are the Way & the Truth & the Life

For all who humbly bow.

Through evil’s darkness we see divine light

Though Your death may forbid it to rise;

Your own truth will defeat their lies.

Savior, they led You to Calvary,

There to experience hell’s agony;

Lord, Your obedience led to the Cross,

For none but You could redeem the lost!

You are the Way & the Truth & the Life

For all who turn to You,

Forsake the darkness and live in Your light:

Those You’ve given the eyes to see

What you did there on Calvary.
