Tonight I wrote the fourth song in my series on John 14:6-7. This one is entitled The Way.
"I have built Your meeting place
But I rest my case
I don't deserve Your meeting
I'll take a second-hand greeting
"For I myself am a man of authority
With men under me
They go and they come:
What I would have done"
As faith is shown, so the Way is known
"Just will my way
I'll trust the words You say
Just love in my direction
It'll catch Your vast connections"
As faith is shown, so the Way is known
"I have cried for twelve years
With unclean tears
No doctor could help me
Now I have no cash to bleed
"If I reach You through this crowd that chokes
Just the edge of Your cloak...
If I insist that I can find
A healing after all this time..."
As the faith is shown, so the Way is known
"Just make Your rounds
You'll find me on Your grounds
Just bless those who believe
With crawling hands and feet"
As the faith is shown, so the Way is known
"I know I don't need a priest to reach You
But you tie us to cloth and to men
Yet I don't need to see Your face to trust You
To be healed I needn't feel your skin"
As the faith is shown, so the Way is known
