Gathering | 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

I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in deepest sin
My hand will save

I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear My light to them

I will go, Lord
if You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart
I, the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people’s pain
I have wept for them, they turn away
I will break their hearts of stone
Give them hearts for love alone
I will speak My word to them
Whom shall I send
Here I am, Lord
Is it I, Lord
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go, Lord
if You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart
