The Way
Not all we see and listen to is sent to us by God
Nor every path that comes our way a path that we should trod
For there are many options we are offered everyday
But not all of these options are to be the Christian's Way
For Satan knows if focused solely on the Word of God
And on His Spirit's leading in the path He'd have of trod
Then Satan's ways of many that keep everything unclear
Will simply be a shadow in the time we're living here
But if he can distract us from the course of present truth
Can gain through entertainment every heart of every youth
Then as he's planned the work of God will surely go undone
And all will soon forget about the purchase through God's Son
He paid at the most precious Price to buy His people back
To give us each the victory when under those attacks
The devil brings through many things to steal our thoughts away
And lead us with the masses from the Father's narrow Way
But if we will abandon all the evil ways of men
Then by God's grace we will not fall beneath the curse of sin
But will become His light to truth that's needed most today
The Truth that's found through focused prayer that sees no other way
Than that in which He's leading in the time we spend with Him
Amassing all the knowledge in His Word He's given them
Who give to Him devotion every moment of each day
And trust He'll guide our every step along that narrow Way
That leads us to perfection where we stand on holy ground
Where grace that is the Saviour's creed through faith is surely found
That faith that sees and listens to the voice of God to men
Who focus on Him wholly losing sight of self and sin
Because when truly focused on the Way that God would choose
To have us live that daily walk in truth we'll never lose
That heaven born integrity that's found in Him alone
When we proclaim our love for Him and take Him as our own
And let His love flow through us as it flowed through Christ before
To do the works of God He did and also so much more
For as His Word has promised if in Him we live each day
Then we'll be lights for others who pursue the living Way
Matthew 5:1-16; Philippians 4:8; John 14:12
