Morning Reflections: "He Is the Way"


"remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit." - Ephesians 2:11-22



You Are the Way
Dead In Transgressions And Sins
Without God, Without Hope In This World
Then, The Glorious Light Of Your Gospel Broke In
The Father Stood Up From His Throne
Opened His Arms As He Called Out My Name
Grace Irresistible Drew Me
Opened My Eyes To See

You Are The Way, You Are The Truth
You Are The Life, Jesus
The Only Way, The Only Truth
You Are My Life, Jesus

You Are The Source Of New Life
The Giver Of Every Good Thing
Withholding Nothing
You Lavish Your Kindness On Me
You Emptied Yourself, Became Poor
Humbled And Poured Out To Death
Now Highly Exalted Above All
Your Name Alone Can Save
