Easter 5     John 14:1-14, particularly verse 6a.

The Way, the Truth and the Life (YA No 47)

A ‘Way’ of strong love in Jesus we see;

A ‘Way’ that unfolds for you and for me;

The challenge, the thrill of the way that he trod

Leads us, if we go, to the myst’ry of God.

A ‘Truth’ about love in Jesus we see;

A ‘Truth’ that gives light to you and to me;

This truth, to the world, that seems strange and quite odd

Leads those who take heed to the myst’ry of God.

A ‘Life’ lived in love in Jesus we see;

A ‘Life’ calling faith from you and from me;

This life is of freedom; no tyrant’s cruel rod;

This freedom leads into the myst’ry of God.

This Way, Truth and Life in Jesus we see;

This Way, Truth and Life, for you and for me,

Is not seen from heaven but in earthy sod;

These lead us from Jesus to myst’ries of God.
