The Way

We can know the one way to happiness and fulfillment
Or ever know torment and awful lament
We can know the well of water ever springing up
Or suffer for our sins and bear our own cup
We can rejoice in and bear the blessed name of Jesus
What then shall we do? But, feel His spirit upon us!

Only He can cause our heart to beat within in our breast
Only He can preserve and protect us and give us rest
Only He can give us strength midst the burdens of life
Only He can forgive our sins and heal us amidst strife
Only He gives us knowledge, peace, joy, and power
And Only He can bring us back to Heavenly Father in that hour

We can partake and drink thirstily
Or remain weak; lacking, foolishly
We can live in His Light and see clearly
Or remain blind; impaired severely
We can know in life what is abundant
Or remain filthy; despite the atonement

The highest achievements are not for a select few
For Christ can transform us, because He is able too
Though life is hard, the Lord's way is never hard
If we choose what's right and all the rest discard
Those with good sense will follow Him and obey
He is the Resurrection and the Life. He is the Way

The Way
Ensign, November 2008, 34


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

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
