The Way

 

This past Sunday, the twins and I participated in another interpretive worship dance during our church service. After doing “Hear From Heaven” last month, our worship pastor asked if I could choreograph motions to “The Way” by Jeremy Camp. I happily obliged, and may end up teaching it to some of the other youth from our church, because this song has become our theme for the year.

The chorus to the song is below:

Shine, bright

Let Your glory fill this land

Lift high, the King of Kings and Great I Am

Jesus, You are the way

This song talks about a number of important aspects of the Christian life. The first and foremost is that Jesus is the only way we can have a relationship with God. It is not by works, but by faith in Jesus’ atoning sacrifice on the cross that we are saved. Second, as Christians, we are to let our lights shine! We are the candles in a world of darkness; we are called to share the light of Christ with others!

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
