The Way
The Way, the Truth, the Life, He is to me
and all the ones whose souls He has set free
by dying for man’s sins on Calvary.
Accepting Him as Savior is the key
to God-led life that’s blessed abundantly,
then home in Heaven for eternity.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
John 14:6

BIBLE
Blessings AND warnings throughout its pages
Illumination for the wayward or confused mind
Beacon of guiding light throughout the ages
Leads us to be forgiving, helpful, and kind
Edifies when life is good or when chaos rages

1 John 4:14
"The Father sent his Son to be
the Savior of the world.”
Our Christian flag at church reminds us
each time it's unfurled.
The prophets had long told about
Christ's unique, virgin birth.
He'd give His life upon a cross
to show what souls are worth.
Though enemies would follow Him
in every town He went,
He'd speak the truth to one and all,
this Son the Father sent.
Messiah's message to the throngs
was whosoever will
may come, believing, and be saved.
That is the message still.
