Way

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 of the King James Bible

Assuring way to heavenly route
Bible Scriptures give exhortation, no doubt
Calling for all to follow the Saviour against evil clout
Directing everyone from selfishness and arrogance-bout.

Exposing way for perfect choice
Fueling faith that propels trust-propped poise
God through His compassion leads us to rejoice
Hoisting toward redemption hope from hell’s noise.

Instructing way with truth sign
Jesus Christ said, “I am the way…” that’s divine
Keeping us safe as His branches, since He is the vine   
Leading our steps forward, journeying upon goodness’ line.

Marching onward way of light 
Nurtured hearts practice kindness’ might
Optimizing love with sharing and giving delight 
Peacefully reaching-out along sincere prayer flight
Quitting to walk downward exits that show confusion-blight.  

Right way for destined goal
Securing eternal life of freedom whole 
Triumphant Lord transforms sin-imprisoned soul
Unchaining by pardon’s inward and outward sanctifying role.

Victorious way*, verily blest  
Winner’s path is best with holy warning’s zest 
Xenial yon Xanadu to enjoy godly fellowship crest…  
Yes to Yahweh’s avenue despite great challenging test 
Zooming zealously upward Zion’s zenith for glorious rest.

*Psalm 25:8-9 "Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way."
