Intro (spoken / sung ad-libs)
(Yeah)
Hey—
C’mon
(You ready?)
Let’s go
⸻
Verse 1
Late night thoughts, wide awake
Heart feels heavy, mind in waves
Been chasing signs, asking why
Trying to read the stars in my own sky
Thought truth was what I felt inside
Thought life was living on my side
Every road I tried to take
Left me lost, yeah, left me waitin’
(Ad-libs: “Mm… yeah” / “Been there”)
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Then You stepped into the noise (stepped in)
Didn’t give me rules, gave me a voice (talk to me)
Didn’t point ahead and say “go there”
You said “I’m already here”
(Call: “Where You at?” | Response: “Right here!”)
⸻
Chorus
You’re the way when I don’t see it (You are)
You’re the truth when I believe it (That’s facts)
You’re the life breathing in my chest (New breath)
When I’m running on empty again (Refill)
Not a list, not a plan (Nah)
Not a ladder in my hands (I tried)
It’s You, yeah it’s You (Say it)
Only way to the Father is You
(Call: “Who’s the way?” | Response: “Jesus!”)
⸻
Verse 2
I was building faith on what made sense
Trying to earn what Heaven gives
But grace don’t work like that (nope)
Love showed up and closed the gap
You didn’t shout from heaven’s throne
You walked this dirt, You made it known
That God ain’t far, He’s not removed
He’s right here reaching through You
(Ad-libs: “So close” / “Right here”)
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2
Every question found its end (it did)
When mercy met me where I stand (right there)
Didn’t say “figure it out”
You said “follow Me now”
(Call: “Follow who?” | Response: “Jesus!”)
⸻
Chorus (Lift)
You’re the way when I don’t see it (You are)
You’re the truth when I believe it (All truth)
You’re the life breathing in my chest (Still breathing)
When I’m running on empty again (Still filling)
Not a list, not a plan
Not a ladder in my hands
It’s You, yeah it’s You
Only way to the Father is You
⸻
Bridge (Drop + Build)
Not my strength (nope)
Not my name (uh-uh)
Not my past (let it go)
Not my shame (thank God)
All the doors I couldn’t open
You walked through and You broke them
No shortcuts (nah)
No disguise (no lies)
No other truth (one truth)
No other life (one life)
I don’t need another sign (no sign)
I just need You by my side (right here)
⸻
Final Chorus (Big / Call & Response)
You’re the way— (Who?) —JESUS!
You’re the truth— (Who?) —JESUS!
You’re the life— (Who?) —JESUS!
Only way— (Say it) —JESUS!
You’re the way when I don’t see it
You’re the truth every time I miss it
You’re the life when my heart feels dead
I don’t need fear, I need faith instead
Not a path I walk alone
Not a road I build on my own
It’s You, yeah it’s You
Only way to the Father is You
⸻
Outro
I don’t gotta know the map (nope)
I just gotta hold You back (that’s it)
Step by step, day by day
I’m walking in the only way
(Ad-libs fade: “Only way… only way…”)
