John 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:"
NO MIDI AVAILABLE
I sought a flag to follow
A cause for which to stand,
A sought a valiant leader
Who could my love command;
I sought a stirring challenge,
Some noble work to try,
To give my life fulfillment,
My dreams to satisfy.
Chorus
I found them all in Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
And follow Him today.
I sought a ringing answer
For all my doubts inside
A torch of truth uplifted
My searching steps to guide;
I sought a word of wisdom,
A true authority.
I sought to know life's purpose,
To solve its mystery.
Chorus
I found them all in Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
And follow Him today.
I sought for satisfaction
For yearning deep within,
I* sought for full deliv'rance
From chains of guilt and sin;
I sought for peace and pardon,
For freedom from my fears,
I sought a hope to cling to
Beyond these passing years.
Chorus
I found them all in Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
And follow Him today.
