What Do You Say?

Thumbing through the pages
of the Bible that he gave me,
many years of conversations
still so vividly remain.
   For as long as I remember
   he has loved the Word of God,
   and when I asked so many questions,
   he'd explain,


Jesus said,
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,
no one comes to the Father but through Me.
In this world you will have tribulation
but take courage,
for I have overcome the world,
yes I have overcome the world.

So, what do you say to someone who is dying?
What do you say to comfort
in the sorrow and the pain?
   What to you say to your hero,
   to your Daddy, to your friend?
   And when I asked the Lord these questions,
   He explained,

He said,
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life,
no one comes to the Father but through Me.
In this world you will have tribulation
but take courage,
for I have overcome the world,
yes I have overcome the world.

When heaven and earth have been restored
I'll see him;
he'll be having conversations
with his Savior and his Friend.
   Oh, the joy to see my father
   with our Father there together!
   So, for as long as I have breath,
   I will proclaim,

He is the Way, the Truth and the Life,
no one comes to the Father but through Jesus.
In this world we will have tribulation but take courage;
He has given us His promise and by His Word we take courage;
there is nothing to separate us from this hope
so take courage,
for He has overcome the world,
yes Jesus has overcome the world!
