I am the Way

Day 7 The I AM Sayings of Jesus

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

Lord of Truth, of Way and Life I come to you for guidance this day, that through your Truth I might be set free to live life in all its fullness. Help me today to follow the way you have prepared for me and as I journey share your life, your truth and direction with others. Amen

Are we nearly there yet,

The cry the children make

When we haven’t even travelled

Beyond the home front gate.

The journey’s just a myst’ry

To young enquiring mind;

The map it has no relevance 

The route they cannot find.

The distance of the journey

Adds to the infants cares

And truth of where we going

Is  another strange affair.

Yet even to the parent

With some knowledge of life’s plan;

The truth of the eternal

Is so difficult to scan.

What beacon or what signpost

Does life’s intent require?

What navigation’s lasting aid

Is there for sale or hire.

What if by some strange miracle

A method that is sound

Where way and truth and life

In one could now be found.

O Jesus, of life’s human road,

O Master of the way.

O truth beyond all doubting

When comes the guiding ray.

Show me the Fathers blessing

The way the truth the life

Help me to follow nearly

And an end to journey’s strife.

Your Cross before to guide me

Your Spirit to empower

The Father’s love protecting

Each moment and each hour.

Help me to place within your hands

The travel and the fret

No longer questioning or ask

Is Journey ending yet.
