The Way, the Truth, and the Life #240






The Way, the Truth, and the Life



If I rose up from the ashes,
Should I wear a golden crown?
If I took but forty lashes,
Should a joy within be found?
If I gained a kingdom's treasure,
Should my riches be in vain?
If my good deeds were all measured,
Should I wither from the pain?

No other Way, but Jesus,
No other Truth abounds,
No other Life could satisfy
Like this life I have found.

If I took the wings of morning
And I rose up to the stars
Or I touched the face of Hades
And I marveled at his scars,
If I overcame all Powers
And a Ruler I should be,
Still that would not be proof enough
To turn my heart from Thee.

No other Way, but Jesus,
No other Truth abounds,
No other Life could satisfy
Like this life I have found.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.



-Lighthouse Bob
