<div class="lyrics"><strong>VERSE 1</strong><br />
Well, I set out to write a song about The One<br />
Who bought us our freedom<br />
To find so many words to explain<br />
Just why it is we need Him<br />
And people told me, &#8220;Hey that&#8217;s nice,<br />
But don&#8217;t say His name explicitly<br />
Genericize and sanitize,<br />
And don&#8217;t stir up a controversy&#8221;<br />
So I put on my thinking cap<br />
And poured some grape juice in a glass<br />
And jotted down some words to summarize The One<br />
Who calls Himself</p>
<p><strong>CHORUS</strong><br />
The Way, the Truth, the Life<br />
Yeah, everybody&#8217;s looking for the Way, the Truth, the Life<br />
Oh and, by the way, His name is Jesus</p>
<p><strong>VERSE 2</strong><br />
Well, look.  There, I said it.<br />
I guess I&#8217;ve gone and made someone mad<br />
But I can&#8217;t bring myself to say I&#8217;m sorry<br />
So that&#8217;s just too bad<br />
And I may say it plenty more<br />
A thousand times a week before<br />
I see the day when we are not ashamed to say<br />
That Jesus is</p>
<p><strong>CHORUS</strong><br />
The Way, the Truth, the Life<br />
Yeah, everybody&#8217;s looking for the Way, the Truth, the Life<br />
Oh, and did I say His name is Jesus?</p>
<p><strong>BRIDGE</strong><br />
Now if you&#8217;re listening to this<br />
And you still have a problem with<br />
Me saying J - E - S - U - S, then this verse is for YOU!</p>
<p><strong>VERSE 3</strong><br />
Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus<br />
Oh, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus<br />
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus<br />
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus</p>
<p><strong>CHORUS</strong><br />
The Way, the Truth, the Life<br />
Yeah, everybody&#8217;s looking for the Way, the Truth, the Life<br />
Oh, His name is Jesus

<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m not sure how to classify this tune. It was inspired by reactions I received from another song I wrote, <a href="/blog/music/inspirational/mirror-mirror-2004?PHPSESSID=3de68832b66b051b6262c36f223b0adc">Mirror Mirror</a>. Even so-called Christians commented about how I mentioned Jesus too many times&#8230;oddly enough, that didn&#8217;t seem to prevent the song from taking one of the grand prizes in the 2005 Dallas Songwriters competition&#8230;</p></blockquote>
