“The Way”

Words: Anna Strickland | Tune: RATHBUN 8.7.8.7 | Inspired by Matthew 16:21-23

Faithfully I learned to follow
Step by step and not to stray
Marching on with proud bravado
Claiming Jesus as the way

Life was easy, faith was stable
Then the pathway climbed uphill
Life got harder past the cradle
Jesus Christ I followed still

Thread by thread my faith unraveled
When the way became unknown
Solid ground gave way to gravel
So I cling to Christ alone

Though the way leads through steep canyons
I surrender my control
Christ is still my sure companion
As the path before unfolds
