Staying Close To You

 

You are the way, the truth, the life,
And I know that is true,
For I have traveled other roads,
But they led back to You
 
It took a while for me to learn
To stay upon the way
To which You have directed me,
Lest I should go astray.
 
For go astray, I surely have,
And, like a wayward sheep,
My shepherd came to bring me home.
My soul is His to keep.
 
I didn’t see the path as well
When I was young and wild,
But, as I've grown, my sight’s improved.
I’m a less wayward child.
 
Now, with great joy, I stay on track
As You’ve taught me to do.
You are my way, my truth, my life
And I’ll stay close to You.
 
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
