Two Ways
How often do we follow those who think themselves so wise
Who hide the truth about themselves from other prying eyes
Who put on form and fashion as though like them we should be
While hiding deep within their souls some dark iniquity
How often do we rush to hear some famous person speak
While passing opportunities that God would have us seek
To help a wayward hurting soul who really in disguise
Is Jesus holding out His hand to offer us the prize
That's given those who seek Him first who care not for the ways
The world says we should live our lives in these uncertain days
When voices all around us try to push their way to go
When of a truth the one sure Way they do not even know
The Way that is so obvious to those who read God's Word
Who set aside that golden time when only can be heard
The voice of His sweet Spirit giving light for us to see
The dangers and the pitfalls that attend prosperity
But also to see blessings we might gain from what we share
From all the words and actions in our lives that show we care
Not for the gain of riches like so many here today
But for the gain of children who might find the Living Way
Who also is the Living Truth on which we can depend
Who will not leave us in the dark in Whom we have a Friend
Who's walked the path that we must walk and knows the pain we feel
But also Who has promised us the sureness of His seal
That grants us Life eternal which He is for those who pray
Who by His grace through living faith accept the Price He paid
And want more than the things of earth the Kingdom He's prepared
That's found in small important parts of truth His people share
To lead souls to the Saviour to the One Who knows us best
The One in Whom we're promised that eternity of rest
From all the traps of Satan and the ones that do his will
Who yearn for recognition with a heart that's never filled
So Christian if you've heard the call to follow someone new
To live your life as they would live and do as they would do
Remember you've already One in Whom you do reside
Who's promised you a place with Him in Glory by His side
Jeremiah 17:5-10; Hebrews 13:1-2; John 14:1-6
