The Way
By works can man be made right?
In the law will he find sight?
What does God say?
The law reveals mankind's plight
and spurs belief in God's might.
Man needs but pray.
By choice man learns to unite
with Jesus who grants the light
to guide and stay.
When the bills you cannot pay,
when your health has found decay,
is God your force?
When your spouse has walked away,
When your job has caused dismay,
is God your course?
When your friendships meet foul play,
When the fear you can't allay,
is God your source?
Worry and doubt, in due course
take faith for granted, perforce.
We feel God's wrath.
When willful sin we divorce
our pride must admit remorse
and self meets death.
God is sovereign, we endorse
His wisdom as our recourse.
God is the path.
