The
Way, The Truth, The Life |
John
14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
Amid the crying and the
weeping,
A single thought comes surely creeping
That only things eternal
truly last;
And so man turns to shrines and "-isms",
Binding
himself in Satan's prisons,
Hoping for some peace when life is past.
But
still their lives are filled with sorrow,
With nothing better than "tomorrow"
To
ease the sin-sick burden of "today."
They gladly take the devil's
token,
Yet they find the promise broken
Long before the price is fully paid.
But
there stands one Way eternal,
To rescue man from paths infernal,
Brining
him to God and heaven and light.
There is one Truth that answers clearly,
All
the questions worn and weary,
With an answer that is always right.
There
is one Life, so freely given
That the veil was fully riven
'Tween the soul
of man and God's own face.
There is one Christ, one Lord, one Saviour,
Standing
as the Mediator,
Between a holy God and Adam's race.
Jesus
Christ as God incarnate,
Dressed in man's own humble garment,
Paid sin's
debt, its bond-slaves to relieve;
From th' eternal fear of dying,
From death's
misery and sighing;
This God's gift to all who will receive.

1Timothy
2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator
between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in
due time.
John 1:12
But as many as
received him, to them gave
he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name: 13 Which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will
of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
