The Way
It's pointless to believe a man convinced against his will
Is not within his heart of hearts of the opinion still
That he held from beginning of his discourse he had learned
From someone he respected from whom he had never turned
But sometimes in our learning we have need that we should see
The weakness and the limits found in our humanity
And trust not from the teacher all the things that he might say
Until we have compared it with the One True Living Way
The Way that means salvation from beginning to the end
The Way Who left His mighty throne to cleanse the world of sin
The Way Who spoke creation into being with One Word
The Way Who died upon the cross and would not be detoured
From doing what He'd chosen long before this world began
Full knowing He would have to die to save the soul of man
If He would give him freedom found in His eternal love
That only holds the Light of Life found on His throne above
Where dwells our great eternal King our Maker and our God
Who rules eternity's expanse with holy Staff and Rod
The Staff of His Commitment to do all that He could do
The Rod of His Commandments of what He would have us do
As each shows love unending that will lead to paradise
The Staff the Testimony and the Rod the stated Price
Of what would be expected of the ones who want to be
One with their Lord and Saviour throughout all eternity
As in our great Example Who shows us the Way of life
Who shows us in His scriptures how He dealt with daily strife
We have also Example of the loving living Way
He showed God's deep compassion to lost sinners everyday
And by His Law of Freedom that destroys the power of sin
We see through application how it frees the souls of men
From preconceived conceptions taught by those from whom they learned
But now by Loves example find it's time they sought and turned
To Him Who always loved them even when they followed wrong
But found in those who shared God's love a new enduring song
That sings of joy eternal that's found only in the Way
Of Him Who is the Staff and Rod that holds our life today
Psalm 23; John 14:6
