Entrance | I Am the Way

Do not let your hearts be troubled
You have faith in God; have faith also in me
In my Father’s house, there are many dwelling places
If there were not, would I have told you so?
And where I am going, you know the way
Thomas said, “How can we know the way?”

“I am the Way,
And I am the Truth,
And I am the Life,” says the Lord,
says the Lord

Do you not believe that I am in the Father
And that the Father is dwelling in me?
The words that I speak to you, I do not speak on my own
But the Father is speaking through
“Amen, I say to you, if you believe in Me,
what you ask in My name, I will do.”

‘Cause “I am the Way,
And I am the Truth,
And I am the Life,” says the Lord,
says the Lord

God, save me by Your name
and by Your might, defend my life
O God, hear my prayer
listen to my words

The proud, the proud have risen against me
and the fierce, they seek my life
they set not the Lord before their eyes
They seek not the Lord

R./ The Lord upholds my life
The Lord upholds my life

Behold! God is my help
the Lord sustains me

Freely, offer You, I will praise Your name
I will praise Your name
I will praise

R./ The Lord upholds my life
The Lord upholds my life
