There Is A Better Way

When you are cast down
despair has you in its grip
fear has rent your heart
you lash out to those around
Know there is a better way.

When in sorrow you drown your tears
with excessive alcohol
you numb the pain with drugs
give in to moral decline
Know there is a better way.

When hatred fills your heart
revenge you seek
stop at nothing to vent
caring not for those you hurt
Know there is a better way.

Jesus Christ came to us
to bring peace in a dying world
to replace hatred with love
to give hope for despair
He is the better way.

Jesus wants to restore us
to the love he created us from
lift us out of our world of sin
give us a new heart, new life
He is the better way.

Jesus is the door
the one we must walk through
to become a new creature
to be born again
He is the living way.

Come to Jesus my friend
your sorrow he will melt
love will flood your heart
Joy unspeakable in his presence ~
He is our salvation today
he is the living way
come to him, just pray
for Jesus is the better way.
