Lyrics

I am the way, the truth, the life;
Just follow Me and leave your strife.
I am this dark world’s only light;
Can you not trust in Me?

Refrain

When you’re afraid, just trust in Me.
When your hopes fade, just trust in Me.
When pray­ers you’ve made have been de­layed,
Don’t be dis­mayed—just trust in Me.

I’m the good shep­herd of the sheep,
The door to guard you from the thief.
Your high­est good I al­ways seek,
Can you not trust in Me?

Refrain

The bread of life—come eat and see,
My strength each day is yours for free.
I am the vine; re­main in Me;
Can you not trust in Me?

Refrain

I am the re­sur­rect­ion, too;
I bring eter­nal life to you.
Your cares on earth are but a few;
Can you not trust in Me?
